Opinion | Who Should Be Trump's No. 2?
Briefly

Donald Trump won both Iowa and New Hampshire with more than 50 percent of the vote, after his closest competitors spent sick amounts of time and money trying to persuade voters to move on from him. Polling in Nevada, South Carolina and other upcoming primary and caucus states suggests that Mr. Trump remains in a solid position and that there is little to no math path for the remaining Republican competitor, his former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley. Electability is edging close to inevitability.
As governor, Mr. Pence had cut taxes and regulations, expanded charter schools and school choice, went to Japan to seek investments in Indiana and created an innovative workaround of Obamacare through the Healthy Indiana Plan. As a congressman representing Indiana, Mr. Pence had worked in Washington for 12 years, but never became Washington. I thought he could only help us bust through Hillary Clinton's blue wall in the upper Midwest and the Rust Belt and allay misgivings among evangelicals and constitutional conservatives trying to make sense of a Manhattan billionaire real estate legend and television star as the standard-bearer for a pro-life, limited-government movement.
