Sorry Fred. You are thinking in old political terms and Trump has turned that on it’s head.
I say he will pick a vice president the same way he hires vice president’s for his company.
I also think the roll of the vice president would change in a Trump presidency.
He is a business man. He will utilize all talent available to it’s fullest potential.
It appears you were born yesterday. Let me enlighten you.
Every politician who has ever been born says "I'm different." The blind followers of every politician who has ever been born say "he's different."
Every president in my lifetime -- which goes back to Truman, assures the public that his choice of vice president will be different. [Because he wants to get voters who may not vote for him to vote for the ticket, and they won't do that if the VP doesn't matter.]
It never is. It never will be. There is no Constitutional role for the Vice President of the United States except one. No president can change that, and no president ever has. The people who are like "vice presidents in Trump's companies" have a name. They are called "cabinet officers."
Trump is a politician like any other. You need to get that through your head. There is nothing in the least bit different about him. He is telling his constituency what they want to hear, and he is drawing new voters into his constituency by telling them what they want to hear.
Trump is not God. He is not a Messiah. He is not really even the most successful "business man" in the country. He is now a politician. And he is going to do [and has been doing] political things. And his choice of VP will be a political decision, IF he gets that far.
