Let’s say Waltz is truly the lesser of two evil. What makes anyone think he’ll be allowed to have any influence behind the scenes? He was chosen to appeal to people exactly like OOP who think changing the american entity is possible by simply being a guy you can have a beer with. He’ll meekly dissent on sending pinkertons to beat workers while the president sits back and relax because the economic and voter benefits outweigh some uppity emplpyees complaining.

It's moreso the reverse, having a VP that opposes the president especially on foreign policy allows them to collude against the White House. This was a big problem in the Obama administration with Biden frustrating Obama's foreign policy at times.
