RE: Walker is right. Governors make better (more effective) presidents.
Let’s say it’s Walker, who would be a good VP for him? Another Governor?
Not necessarily. After all, VP is not an executive position (until and unless s/he assumes the presidency). The reason VP tends to be such a meaningless office is that his job is analogous not to that of a king - as POTUS is - but rather to that of a prince. And there isn’t much in being a term-limited prince.

My opinion? Name Senator Cruz to the VP slot, treating it as a campaigning position. Not to attack the opposing VP candidate but to attack the opposing presidential candidate. And after that? First SCOTUS opening that comes up, nominate Cruz to that.

Only then do you name a governor or ex-governor to VPOTUS. Possibly Sarah Palin.

To: conservatism_IS_compassion

that is crazy and a bit convoluted

How about we nominate the most conservative candidate and let them choose their own VP
