His veep will probably be Thompson. They are friends, and Thompson is pretty clearly running for veep anyway. He'd cover the right and south a bit, reassure a lot on age concerns, and has the gravitas and steadiness people want in anyone on the ticket. That he is so laconic, even self effacing, is a liability at the top of the ticket but an asset at the bottom. From Thompson's point of view, win or lose, being on the actual national ticket once raises his eventual chances at the office itself, dramatically. He can wait.

I’ve been thinking that too... Thompson makes a good Veep....he knows what the treasonous rat b@st@rds on the dim side of the senate aisle are capable of.

He’s an old early 60’s. You may be right but criminey. He’ll look ready for embalment in 4 or 8 years.

Fred said early on that he has no interest in VP... and unlike ALL of the others outside of Hunter... Fred has not lied to us even once. Take him at his word or you will be disappointed.
