Imagine for a moment that the Republican nominee for President had 40% of the polled vote, and the Democrat 40%, and Trump as an Independent had 20%. Imagine both Republican and Democrat vying for Trump to run as their VP, seeing the writing on the wall otherwise, and dumping their party-chosen VP candidate for Trump instead. Certain victory. Now imagine one party having 45% and the other 35% and Trump still at 20%. If the 35% party didn't make such a move, they'd lose in a 3-way race. I suspect that Trump would entertain discontinuing his run as a 3rd party and re-up with the Republicans in that circumstance. Not saying who that Republican Presidential candidate will be, but they'd almost have to be foolish not to take Trump as VP if the numbers supported the above scenario. Simplistic analysis, but could happen at the heart of it.

Somehow I don't see The Donald as VP material.

Do you really think The Donald would take the Second Spot to anything? Nah..... He’ll be at the top of the Ticket or nothing.
