Trump’s Vice President

Upon being nominated, each Presidential candidate makes one of his or her most important decisions: Who will join the ticket as the prospective Vice President.

From the VP choice, voters get a look at the Presidential candidate's thinking and concern for the country. And who, if the ticket wins and the unthinkable happens, would become president should the sitting president die or become incapacitated while in office?

But did anyone really think that Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin should have been a heartbeat away from the oval office? Or actual Vice President Dan Quayle? But that was nothing compared with what we face now.

Donald Trump's decision to make JD Vance his VP shows just how much Trump despises America. He wants to flip us off...and he did exactly that by adding Vance to the GOP ticket. Either that, or it confirms the cognitive decline of a befuddled old man. In Trump's case, probably both.

Everyone should shudder at the prospect of a President Vance and what that would mean for the children, men and, especially, the women of our country.

The return of convicted felon and insurrectionist Donald Trump to the White House would be bad enough. The prospect of a potential President Vance is absolutely horrifying.

Starting at /week.
