Trump/Gingrich would be a very entertaining ticket, as would Trump/Christie.

One way to find out if Trump is as incompetent as some say he is, is if he picks Mary Fallin or Jeff Sessions. Fallin has run the state into the ground and Sessions is a total mushmouth.

All that being said, I think Scott Brown is probably the best potential choice among those who would realistically do it.

A thought occured to me the other day. If a majority of the delegates are Cruz delegates, even if pledged to Trump, would they really vote to nominate a pro-choice Vice President?

On that thought, what's to stop a Cruz-majority delegation from choosing Cruz for VP?

[The Other Castro]

:lol: I would laugh at a Trump/Huntsman ticket. What a worthless ticket.

That would be a dream ticket!

He'll need Huntsman to win Battleground Utah.

I know, right?

God, that meme just won't die, will it?

Not until Trump actually leads in a Utah poll.

Despite Carson's claims to the contrary, Trump says he definitely won't pick a Democrat as his running mate:

The question is, does this actually rule out Webb?

Third-hand word from the WHCD is that Castro and Brown are off of Clinton's shortlist.

RIP OC.

Trump taps Christie as transition chairman if elected President.

What does this mean for the VP search? Is Christie out?

It seems less likely now.

Politico's headline is "Joni Ernst shuts out Trump vp talk" but it reads more like a standard non-denial denial.

The GOP conven is mid july, right?

That means we can expect a trump vp selection around when?

Early July.

So probably:
Christie
Fallin
Gingrich
Rick Scott
Kasich?

[The Other Castro]

On CNN just now, confirmed that the list is 5-6 people, Christie is on it, Rubio and Pence are not.

They've seen the list, mention Christie, and then just don't say who else is on it? What lousy journalism...

If its Clinton/Warren v. trump/Christie, I am going to go out and buy a case of champagne. Most of the case will be for the Cubs WS win, but a good amount will be the Blue (Atlas Red) landslide.

They haven't seen the list, they were told by Trump camp specifically about him in that he wasn't removed from it like some had been thinking.

Did Jim Webb make it? 

They don't know who's on it, just that they are not.

[The Other Castro]

If he picks Gingrich, between the two of them they'll have 4 divorces. Not sure how that looks to certain traditionally Republican groups.

[The Other Castro]

Hmm so we probably have Christie, Fallin, Gingrich, Brewer, and 1-3 other unknowns.

[The Other Castro]

Now that I think about it, it seems like Christie is the "or 6" person when Trump mentions 5 or 6 people on his shortlist (and maybe Kasich is the "or 7" person). From his interview on The O'Reilly Factor:

So will we not be getting an official VP announcement before the convention then?

[The Other Castro]

Hmmm Blackburn could be a good pick. It's a shame she's delusional though.

Here's an article that expands on those comments:

This is a pretty remarkable quote from that story:

Really?  Every single potential running mate on your list has "major problems"?  I'm not saying that's wrong, but it's not usually something that you'd expect someone in the campaign to publicly admit.

It's a bit of a Trump-22. The best VP picks for him are the ones that would say no to being VP.

[The Other Castro]

Trump just said on CNN that he's actually likely to consider a female or minority VP.

[The Other Castro]

Trump's VP list is now the size of his hands (very small).

So Trump's probably picking a politician, and of those 4-5 the two competitors are probably Christie and Kasich. The other 2-3 politicians definitely includes Sessions, and I'm guessing also Corker and a woman (probably Fallin). So that realistically in my mind narrows the list down to Sessions, Corker, Fallin, and Christie, with the most likely being Sessions.

[The Other Castro]

Clinton concerned about picking Senators from Republican Gov states, so probably no Booker or Brown.

[The Other Castro]

Christie is being vetted for VP, and has received the official paperwork for the vetting process.

Apparently Gingrich will be joining Trump tomorrow night at the Cincinnati rally. Hmmmmmmm
