Trump is no dummy.
Because he did not pick Newtie.
Had he done so, he might as well have putRomney at the head of the ticket and retired to Mira Lago. The selection of Pence shows that while Trump is no Libertarian, he’s not another “bipartisan” – and so Born to Lose – Republican.
With Pence, Trump makes his victory in November more rather than less likely – as would not have been the case with someone like Newtie as his Better Half.
This is smart politics, regardless of our (as Libertarians) approval of his politics.
Trump needs the snake handlers and tongue-talkers – just as Hillary must have the Millennial Redistributionists and Social Justice Warriors.
Like it or not, that is brass knuckle electoral reality.
