Susana Martinez is a RINO and Mia Love is drifting that way.
I would have said Rick Scott is on the short list except he didn’t even endorse Trump until after the FL primary was over. Not a ringing endorsement.
Christie is likely slotted for Attorney General.
Don’t be surprised if Trump still takes Kasich as VP to appease the party when they all kiss and make up in a couple of months.

Good. Don’t vote. Elect Hillary. Moron.

Hmm. Don't know anything about the guy at all. So from what you say, he may be bad afterall. Never heard of Martinez, but I like the fact that she's chairwoman of the Republican Governor's council. So her peers obviously love her as a leader. Good idea. |

Duncan Hunter was a big pro-fence advocate years ago. He and his Dad both military and conservative.

I agree. During the debates, when others are talking, I can sense Trump performing resume evaluations of the other candidates.

I really like the idea of a combat veteran. On the negative side, it looks like he lacks experience in the private sector.
I'm thinking that Trump is going to pick somebody who could more or less fill Trump's shoes if he should ever be called on to assume the Presidency.
I'm thinking somebody from the world of business who loves the country too. The Vice President job can be much bigger and more important than it has been in the past. Trump could raise the profile of that job big time.
I'm thinking of somebody like Ed Whitacre, the former CEO of AT&T.
Whitacre fought against government regulations for decades and his experience as a creator of jobs could be invaluable.
He's probably not the guy, but someone of his caliber, maybe an ex-CEO of Boeing, would be the choice I would select if I were Trump.
Picking a politician may not be the right thing this cycle.

All great choices which would pass the "Will they make a libtard's head explode?" test. Personally, I am quite partial to Dr. Ben Carson because of the high likability factor. He also strikes me as morally grounded.
But he can be a high visible campaigner without being the VP pick. Then make him Secretary of HHS.

Trump will be the delegator and strong arm Congress with someone like Newt to show him the path.
Furthermore, Trump's VP will be extremely busy. Does anyone think the guy who builds these things has a staff sitting on their ass?
The interview process would be fun to watch. :-)

Nope. Eight years later and Palin jokes are still circulating. She’ll be on his staff though. Trump respects loyalty above anything else.

Yup. Kasich belongs in jail for supporting amnesty.

Might be worth a long-odds bet anyway.
I will hold to my prediction even though you may be right.

How would Kasich help as a DC insider? Kasich is a governor. Kasich love vest his illegals and therefore belongs in jail. Kasich is an all around a-hole.

That is my thought not even Ted. I feel he is exposing them little by little. What give it away was when he asked about the Island Meeting. He said “I know most of them”. He knows =)
To: Cobra64
Kasich was in Congress for 18 years before becoming governor.
To: catman67
President Trump needs serious assassination/impeachment insurance so the VP must be someone Democrats would not find acceptable under any circumstances. After Reagan chose moderate Bush and attracted an assassin, every President since then has chosen a VP clown.

Dick Cheney was a VP clown? No, that was a reverse set up. W was the clown. The Democrats couldn't fathom Cheney inheriting the presidency though.
