I suspect it will be someone not controversial but still a right wing politician, and of course someone he can completely control. So no one on that list and I am not entirely sure who would qualify.

I am not sure who would want to put their name on a Trump ticket. That being said Colin Powell has put himself in the unique position that he could be a viable choice for either ticket and would lift either ticket.

A stroke of political genius: Marco Rubio, in an effort to be relevant again, undergoes sex reassignment surgery and bottoms for the GOP ticket as a woman.

Hillary would never pick Colin Powell. She hates the military.

I was trying to figure out who would actually agree to running with Trump that would actually help his campaign. This might be the best option, though I'm not sure how effective it would be having two people without experience. Normally I'd say Trump would have to pick someone that would have experience to cover his weakness there but I'm not sure that matters now.

Trump knows he needs a politician to help in dealing with congress, and getting deals through. Kasich qualifies above any the others.

"Cardboard cutout of Trump" Seriously? Not a realistic choice, eh?

Newt Gingrich

Newt would be a good choice from a knowledge and intellectual basis, but hasn't he been out of political circulation for quite some time? How have his contacts aged? Aged out?

I see Newt in the news a lot positively/fairly commenting about Trump..

Well, he put Dr. Carson in charge of making the list and finding someone, and the last time a GOP candidate successfully ascended to the Presidency the guy in charge of finding someone named himself!

(and it turned-out badly)

Cara Carleton "Carly" Fiorina, Trump will want to make her a 3 time loser.

My out of the box thinking.

Nicki Haley ...South Carolina governor

Or an even bigger wildcard

Martha Mcsalley. Arizona congress

I think he chooses a woman....and it won't be Fiorina or Palin

It's my guess that Christie wants the AG spot.
