Thinking of the complete winning ticket in the 2016 Presidential election, who would be the strongest Vice Presidential pick? The one that would put the ticket over the top?

As VPs are generally used to "balance the ticket" it's hard to say without knowing who the Presidential Candidate is. If we are looking at a former Legislator, we want an "Executive." If it's an Executive, we want a Legislator, or possibly even a Judge.

The major issue with the VP is that they don't have a whole lot of real duties Constitutionally. They promote the President's vision, so we can't say X will make a "good or bad" VP just that they will be good or bad with Y.

West was charged in an incident that involved the beating and simulated execution of an Iraqi policeman. What does it say about his core values.

Scott Walker or Ben Carson......If John Kaisch wins the GOP nomination then I have to go with Ben Carson as his running mate so the election signs would read Vote for Johnny Carson
