Adding Tucker Carlson to the ticket would not only resolve lingering issues concerning presidential succession, but do so in the most formidable way conceivable.
"To put it simply, it is not easy to ask someone as independently successful as Tucker Carlson to play second fiddle." That about sums up the possibility of a Trump\Tucker ticket.
It will take a unique type of person to be Trump's VP. Any successful, strong, male figure risks coming out the other end of service looking weak in comparison to Trump - or appear disloyal or a traitor if he tries to assert himself.
Therefore, I suspect Trump will have to pick a woman this time, and the right choice will serve him well. After all, his first campaign wasn't in very good shape in the summer of 2016, and it took a strong woman - Kelly Anne Conway - to get Trump to stay on message though late summer and early fall. No man can tell Trump to sit down, shut up, and listen, but I imagine that's exactly what Kelly Anne did, with the threat that she would walk and he would lose, if he didn't obey. He then trusted and listened to her, and worked his butt off, and she took care of him and this country by bringing him all the way to the White House.
Trump needs that type of woman as a VP. Trump's natural state is respectful to women and competitive with other men. He's more likely to pick a Tulsi Gabbard than Tucker Carlson. She's no Tucker Carlson, but she could serve him well.
Finally, no way Tucker takes the pay cut, or puts his current fortune and family at risk by taking such a high leadership position as a GOP candidate. The GOP does not ruthlessly defend their own, like Democrats do. The entire blob of the federal bureaucracy, and DA's all over the country would be after him. Meanwhile, if there was a GOP lead Congress, they'd hold hearings and clutch their pearls at the abuses...that's it. But if there was a Democrat run Congress, they'd be working in tandem with all the three letter Agencies and State DAs to crush him, his family, his friends, the bank he does business with, his accountants, his realtor, his neighbors, people who asked for an autographed book...you get the picture. It's just not worth it.
