34. "What if you end up with a President and VP who really are incompatible?"

Hate to say it but a large number of "President/Vice President" combinations were "incompatible" - usually with the party very much involved in selecting the running mate and specifically doing so for "expediency" (to pick up a geographic constituency/population demographic).

The important thing would be whether the Presidential nominee is "adult enough" to know (or learn) how to work with that person and any others, including any of their own appointees, and even foreign heads of state, post-election. That should be part of the job requirement.

All you have to do is take a look historically, at who was VP to whom, and that will tell you right away that the vast majority did NOT have an Obama-Biden relationship/vibe, and were in fact, often distant from each other. However they basically performed their jobs and stayed in their lanes.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
