Morning Glory: Trump's big chance to put this election away now

Running mates don't usually matter, but this year Trump's pick will provide a key contrast with Kamala Harris.

But, but, but… this year the age and what appears obvious to me and most of America —the increasing infirmity of President Biden—will amp up the focus on Vice President Harris and thus on the contrast between her and Trump’s choice of a running mate. Trump the developer knows "contrast" and its visual power. That future "contrast" has enormous political prowess too. Trump benefits most by selecting a running mate who most sharply contrasts with Harris on intellect and stature.

Harris's horrific weaknesses as a candidate and often risible public pronouncements as the vice president argue strongly for a selection by Trump of a VP candidate who contrasts sharply with Harris in the general category of "seriousness of purpose" as well as basic intellectual ability.
