Who should be Trump's VP choice and why?

Add in that in 2016 he wasn't as popular and he had to balance his ticket with Mike Pence who stood in his way when Trump wanted an obedient lieutenant to carry out his will over all else.  

Pence was just a token ride along who would help insure the Christian Right vote. I think that Trump feels like he already has that vote going for him, so no need to double down. If he want's to increase voter likeability among the independent voters, he needs to pick a moderate as his running mate, like one of the two independent, former Democratic candidates like Manchin or Sinema.

I get that him going that direction would be to the horror of most Democrat voters, but honestly, it would be his best move.
