Casting Call for Vice President 2020 | Prime Political

Right now, and probably until November 2020, the focus of politics will be on the presidential election. Few Americans realized the importance of a running mate until the current administration took office. Donald Trump’s approval rating is in the toilet and he appears determined to keep it there. Mike Pence as runner up seems like a choice of slightly-lesser-of-two-evils.

Old school Republicans are witnessing the destruction of their party and are begging for someone to run against Trump in the primaries.

On the other hand, Democrats have a baker’s dozen of viable candidates, with more expected to join. It is an embarrassment of riches. Republicans enjoy the advantage of being the incumbents, which means their ticket is Trump/Pence. The only exception would be if they lose the primary.

In this political reality, don’t rule this out.

When you look at those brave souls running on the left, it is a virtual all-star team of experienced candidates. Each one has their issue that resonates with them and many Americans. The primaries will be tough for Democrats with so many on the ballot.

But will they have to choose only one? Among this field is likely to be a Vice President. One candidate stands out above all others as the best option for running mate.
