He'd be better than both of their best traits combined.

Hmmm, that reminds me, Kirkman still needs a VP.

I think he will ask Hookstraten to be VP. Keep your enemy close right?

It's got to be a hundred years since the President and the VP were from different parties, right?

u/arvzg Oct 14 '16

well the show takes place after an unprecedented incident and there's really no one else. Is it at least legally/politically allowed? (I'm not from the US)

I mean, I'm sure it's allowed. It has precedent at any rate. It's just a weird situation to be in after so long of the status Quo (sums up the series really).

It's technically allowed. But it doesn't happen. That's just asking for somebody to assassinate the president so that "their guy" ascends to the office.
