Those seem to be the top three.

Who do you think and why?

Newt is a newt, pure and simple. A globalist one, at that.

Joni? Is that Chachi's sister?

Brother Blume might be his VP? I know there's a thing about being a natural born citizen in the constitution but apparently that doesn't matter these days anyway, so why not?

Hahaha. Gingrich, Pence and some nobody Senator from Iowa. Trump is really trying his best to throw this race.

Or Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn - a registered Democrat.

Running a stealth Independent campaign inside the Republican party.

Remember this? """Donald Trump supporter Ben Carson repeated his claim that the real estate mogul would consider a Democratic running mate, "Certainly we would look at everybody. You know the question came up when I was interviewing with the Wall Street Journal if we would look at a Democrat. We'll look at them. If there was a Democrat who strongly upheld the Constitution, believed in personal responsibility, hand up rather than a hand out, fiscal responsibility, strong military. We'd be willing to talk to them. If you know of any such Democrats let me know. But clearly you need people who are consistent with the views the President has."""

Trump later denied he would take a Democrat as VP, but the possibility has been out there for a while.

Gingrich and trump have been politically connected for a long time now. He would be the best choice if he wasn't such a political has-been.

he should pick a Christian, gun-toting Democrat from Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, or West Virginia.

The most unlikely Presidential candidate could win if he chooses the right VP-- a Democrat who is very popular within their home-state.

Have you become a Trumpster now, or are you still voting for the felonious Hillary Clinton?

We should start referring to her as the "unindicted felon".

Shapiro: """OMG he's going to have an actual rose ceremony."""

So Pence, Gingrich, Christie and Sessions are all in Indiana meeting with Trump, per various Tweets I've read.

Trump says the VP announcement will come Friday. One source says Trump's family likes Pence but Trump likes Christie.

Jermyn Davidson · #10 07-13-2016, 02:00 PM

Of the names being tossed around now, Pence is the only one that makes any kind of sense.

trump will not win with Christie but his ticket would be a threat to the Dems with Pence as his VP. This election cycle is about winning over the centrists and a trump/Pence ticket would be formidable against a Clinton ticket that has pivoted to far to the left to satisfy the Sanders supporters.
