I think you're overestimating the number of people who would ever, under any circumstance up to and including the alternative being a kitten in a tiny power suit, vote for Donald Trump. The only way he wins is if everyone else is so demoralized they don't bother showing up at the polls, and this doesn't accomplish that because "interchangeable disappointing President dies to be replaced by interchangeable disappointing Vice President" is still the expected "more of the same", which is a much better scenario than "President Fascist Cheeto."
That's one interpretation. I was just calling back to the popularity of the Giant Meteor 2016 meme after it became obvious that the final battle was Clinton v. Trump. I'd rather vote for the kitten in a power suit than the meteor, but I think they make a powerful ticket when you combine them. The softness of the kitten is a powerful moderating force on the directness and destructive potential of the meteor.
