“Run me through that scenario, please.”

Currently the Senate is 50/50+ Hairass.

Hairass becomes POTUS the Senate is 50/50.

The new VP has to approved by the Senate.

That means Hairass is not going to be able to get a hyper left wing VP like the Hillabitch or Sanders through.

If Hairass chooses a “moderate” democratic that some republicans would support, the democratic agenda stalls.

If Hairass chooses a “moderate” democrat from the senate (Sinema?) the agenda is stalled, assuming that even she could get through. And I do not believe Sinema could not vote for herself. So that means one of Romney, Collins, Murkowski could vote yes and the vote would still fail. AND, a big and, those two or three less insane democrat senators are from republican states. If Sinema were to become VP McSally then become her replacement. 51 R vs 49 D.

If Hairass wants to get a VP through the Senate, she nominates as Romney VP. He would get the votes, forward at least some of the democrat agenda and the Senate is 50/50

That is assuming that at least one democrat would vote to confirm him. I am not sure that is the case.

Or,

Hairass
