Crazy Hypothetical situation:

Trump drops out of the race a couple of days before the election, and Hillary names him her VP the next day. You are not well read in 3rd parties and don't have time to research them before you vote. You see just two options on the presidential ballot, Hillary/Trump and some complete unknown.

Do you vote Hillary/Trump or do you vote for the complete unknown?
 
I choose Hillary/Trump. I know enough about marginalized 3rd parties in the US system to understand that they are filled with extremists.

Look at the Libertarian party. This is probably the biggest 3rd party in the US right now. But they managed, (just barely) to put their most moderate candidate on their ticket. Every other candidate for the Libertarian Party at their convention wanted to abolish drivers licenses and presumably make it legal for 5 year old kids to drive 80mph on the highway.

They're nuts and all the 3rd parties are nuts. That's because reasonable, moderate voters are willing to make compromises. And when you are willing to make compromises, you become more willing to pay attention to and vote for the big parties that can actually accomplish something. So all the moderates have already left all the 3rd parties.

I don't trust extremists so of course I would choose the devil I know over the one I don't know. Yes, Trump is an extremist too, but Hillary has got to have at least a couple years left in her.
 
I would jump on the nearest flying pig and fly to Canada. Or vote for Harry Potter.

Trump as VP? Yeah, okay. No real power, no responsibilities except to tweet about how great the VP office is.
Pretty much how he seems to have imagined his presidency, anyway. Some guy knocking around the White House while the other face on the ticket gets the work done...

Do they intend to follow in the footsteps of Bill Clinton while in the Oval office?

Sounds like he'd follow in the footsteps of Biden quite nicely.

"Yeah.....I can help you with that one. Hillary's in the Middle East, presently....getting the final sign-offs on Palestinian statehood."

Third party. Anyone with poor enough judgement to name Trump as her VP is unfit to be President. Also, I'd become really concerned about all that email stuff.

.....If Biden was in a coma.​

July 26, 2016 - "We made our mistakes back in the 20th century, Lord knows, but we never nominated a man for president who brags about not reading.

Calvin Coolidge had his limits. Warren G. Harding spent more time on his hair than strictly necessary. Lyndon Baines Johnson was a piece of work. But all of them read books.

When I envision a Trump Presidential Library, I see enormous chandeliers and gold carpet and a thousand slot machines.

God help us. I mean it. We’re in trouble down here."

Who is HRC's food taster?

I think you'd get plenty of volunteers for that.

I thought it was probably Bill. Not because of any official duties but it's just that he seems to be the kind of guy who'd wolf down his own food and then start picking stuff from his wife's plate.

As food taster, he'd have to pick stuff from his wife's plate first.
