I've learned quite a bit about American politics over the past decade... but I still don't get the vice president thing. I know they're in charge if something happens to the president... But why does their policies / views matter over say anyone in congress? Is it a just in case something happens to the president its important to know where they stand... or is there another reason / function they have?
I didn't bother watching this one, I may watch the next trump one... but I feel like the next day all the sound bites get thrown around on the media anyways, which has the benefit of not listening to people scream over eachother... so there isnt much of a point to see it live.
