The public jockeying by various candidates to become Donald Trump's running mate has taken on the air of a circus. Aspiring contenders clambered for camera time, made public declarations of support, and later posted on social media about the injustice of the verdict.
A traditional vice-presidential search happens discreetly, with possible picks lobbying behind the scenes while publicly downplaying their interest. Mr. Trump's search is playing out more like an open cattle call audition, akin to a reality show.
Mr. Trump was America's first reality-TV president, and now he's reviving the hits: He's turned the veepstakes into a reboot of The Apprentice.
