Fredo's Life and TreatmentI think the big difference between Sonny and Fredo as far as being Don,is that Sonny turned out to be a bad pick in hindsight because of his temper and the emotionally driven decisions he made after taking the reins, but before that,he had the makings to be successful,and was a good choice.
Fredo,on the other hand,was already out of the running,because he was never seen as anything but weak and stupid.
Sonny had the potential to run the Fanily right,whereas Fredo had nothing from the get-go
Exactly Lou Fredo was dismissed as amounting to nothing, all his life, pretty much by everyone indeed
"Fredo had nothing from the get-go" because poor Fredo was never given the chance Boy, oh, Boy didn't Fredo show us all?!

Vito's fatherly views! of his sons – Thanks! Pop
Fish tank scene:
I thought -- Santino was a bad Don, rest in peace
Garden scene:
I knew that Santino was going to have to go through all this [even though Santino was a bad Don]
And Fredo -- well -- Fredo was -- well --
But I never -- I never wanted this for you [Michael]
