[VP is a sleeper position that is far better used to set up the ‘third term’.]
Although Trump may be weighing VP as his successor, I suspect Trump will be the first Presidential contender to actually fill the VP position as if it were another cabinet slot. I think he will seek a real working partnership with a politically savvy close to the chest trust worthy collaborator who can work the Congress critters into his camp like a sheep dog. Or, at least I can hope that’s what he would do. It would be a great sign of things to come. I hope he does not start out his dream team by picking a lousy useless VP. That will be his first chance to shine his star at the top of the hill, out of Hillary’s (or Bernie’s) reach. Just my thoughts on it fwiw.
Trump wouldn’t be the first. W. Brought in an actual executive VP. Cheney did more as a VP than probably any before him.
