One of the things I expect Mr. Trump would look for in a vice president is discretion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Vice-Presidency is sort of like the last cookie on the plate. Everybody insists he won't take it, but somebody always does.
Anyone who thinks that the vice-president can take a position independent of the president of his administration simply has no knowledge of politics or government. You are his choice in a political marriage, and he expects your absolute loyalty.
Discretion is nothing other than the sense of justice with respect to the sphere of the intimate contents of life.
In a network situation, a vice president, while he's shaving, can decide your history.
Vice presidents are supposed to be eternally loyal, which is why it is so difficult for some to figure out how to succeed their bosses.
Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to us in all the duties of life.
I think my vice would be outdoing myself.
The vice president had a bargaining asset, however, that no ordinary person has: He was next in line to the presidency. I saw no chance that he would resign first, then take his chances on trial, conviction, and jail.
After being sworn in to office, vice presidents have usually been relegated to the sidelines, where they just don't get to do very much.
Discretion is the polite word for hypocrisy.
