By my observation, the VP job is just a glorified lackey to the president. The prez assigns the VP jobs he doesn't want to jack with. The qualities needed are someone who can think & talk on the fly & take no sh*t. As for adding to the elect-ability of the prez, they need to be personable & pleasant in appearance (women good looking). As to the possibility that the VP may have to take over as POTUS, voters could care less.
Things have changed. When you see "This [bleep] for Trump tee shirts" don't count on minorities falling Democrat anymore. Vivek as VP could do an awful lot, and the only reason to pick him. He gets the picture, knows how to blow stuff up. He is MAGA on steroids with maps and battle plans all laid out. He is what Trump wants to be ( or so he says.) And he is young, energetic, successful and decent. He loves America and has great appeal for younger voters.
