Ben Carson has allegedly let slip the names of potential VPs on Trump's short list. I have doubts this is the actual list. More than likely it was done to see what the reaction would be to these names.
Sarah Palin
Chris Christie
John Kasich
Marco Rubio
Ted Cruz
 
There's no way Cruz would join as Trump's VP. This may have been a possibility back in the fall. But since then, Trump went  with attacks on Heidi Cruz and Ted's father, not to mention the attacks against Ted himself.
I doubt Rubio would do it. While Trump didn't hit Rubio as hard as he did Cruz, he still attacked Rubio pretty strong.
Palin, Christie and Kasich would join the ticket. They'd hitch themselves to anyone at this point.
I bet Gingrich is upset he's not on this alleged list. He's been shilling for Trump for a while now.

Re: Sen. Ted Cruz Makes It Official
That was regarding Ted Cruz. I was against Trump for most of the primary, but did end up reluctantly voting for him vs HRC. I've been pleasantly surprised with the first term and will be happy to vote for Trump in 2020.

I remember that many were against Trump before it was all whittled down to him. Voting for him was a necessary evil it seems due to the only other choice was Billary Killton. When given two choices of Satan and the Devil, one must gain a devil which best suits their needs. But what do I know, i am nothing more then a serf collecting moss from the bog.
Are there any other candidates who you would consider in the upcoming election?

Yes, I argued a lot with Originalist, but ended up voting for Trump. Glad Trump won though.

Not for POTUS. I refuse to vote for any Democrat, especially any of the one's currently running for POTUS.
