A veep is merely the next president, that is why we voted for McCain, to make Palin President.
Not necessarily. VPs don’t have a lock on the presidency. A VP candidate is there to help get the nominee elected President. That is the major criteria for a VP nominee. If Paul helps bring in indepedents and get Cruz elected I am fine with it. He would never be elected President so I am not worried about it. Even if he did get elected somehow he would be better than a Hillary or an Obama
