Trump says he’ll name running mate at convention
Washington Post ^ | May 5, 2016 | Terry Spencer and Jonathan Lemire | AP

Donald Trump said Thursday that he will name his vice presidential pick at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this July.

Speaking in an interview with The Associated Press, Trump said that it was still early in the process to select a running mate, but that he would soon form a committee to begin vetting running mates.

“It is early — we just won yesterday,” Trump said. “I will announce it at the convention. A lot of people are interested.”

Trump has said he intends to pick a Republican with prior government experience.

Trump has not yet reached the number of delegates required to clinch the nomination, but now has a clear path to becoming the Republican standard-bearer after his remaining rivals, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, suspended their campaigns this week.

LaHood!!!????? Good lord man, that’s makes Issa’s suggestion of Jeb look good.

I think Jindal is a fine man, unfortunately his approval rating was in the tank when he left office, I’m still not sure why, but that’s the reason the scum democrat won the Louisiana gubernatorial race.

Yes, but just a little late.

Bush announced Cheney on 7-25-00, the convention began on 7-31-00.

McCain announced Palin on 8-29-08, the convention began on 9-3-08.

Romney announced Ryan on 8-11-12 and it was considered early, the convention began on 8-27-12.
