I wish I had included the many advantages, to Trump and more importantly to the country, that would accrue with Tom Cotton as VP, but as usual, Paul is more thorough. I guess I can add only one thing: Trump will be 78 in three weeks and is significantly overweight. Having Cotton, who is all of 47, a heartbeat away would give me peace of mind in America's governance like I haven't had in years.

Cotton is brilliant, thoughtful and articulate. Can you imagine Kamala debating him? As for issues on which Trump and Cotton differ, a vice president is different from, say, a cabinet member. A cabinet member has a department to run, and that would unavoidably have him doing things the president might not like from time to time.. A VP must support the president; it's what a VP candidate signs up for when he signs on. I do think Burgum would also be good. Jim Dueholm
