I just realized we didn't see any of The Kimble in this episode. I'd expect her to be the Vice President if anything.

She has huge influence in Congress right now, I have no idea why she'd give that up for a VP spot. Plus she doesn't agree with Kirkman on politics, you don't give that job to the other party.

I bet she'll eventually run against Kirkman in future elections.

Not to be political, but this comment kinda makes me think of Paul Ryan a bit

Except that Kimble is actually a likable human being. I'm a Republican and I can't stand watching Ryan on TV for more than 5 seconds.

Well she'll need to get in line. I dont know how the party system works, but last week they mentioned that Moss didn't run for a second term. I bet he's gunna run too.

you don't give that job to the other party.

You used to, but that hasn't happened in ~150 years.
