If it’s Trump/anything, then it will be Clinton.

tl;dr

Trump / Cruz doesn’t sound feasible. Kasich, Christie, Walker is a stretch and don’t think Trump carries Wisconsin with Walker anyway.

By the time this all ends it could be so goofball that we end up with a Trump/Sanders 3rd party ticket.

They have been trashing Trump so hard and it’s just going to go on. When all is said and done he may be positioned to be nominated, but will have a hard time getting a critical pick running mate.

Why does it have to be someone currently running? I don’t think Trump will need Cruz for Texas, but he might bring more of his supporters to Trump, and there has to be someone qualified that can help the ticket that is actually conservative. Kasich is a train wreck. Not only does he look insane, but I have a hard time with a person who is worth twenty million dollars telling me it is his Christian duty to take money from struggling families and disperse it to who he thinks needs it more. And his “bake the cake and move on” attitude is one of the reasons the party is in such a mess. But he does have a really ridiculous Kasichcare plan. If doctors keep me healthy, and provide really good care, and don’t charge much, Kasich will give them some of the money he took from that struggling family.

..It appears that no one is listening to Kasich when he says he has no desire to be a vice president...

I can’t think of any Vice President who didn’t say that before being picked.

If we have to pick from only those currently vying to be the Republican Presidential nominee, it could only be Cruz. The only other consideration by me, would be Ben Carson. I think he would be a positive President with regards to healing the racial divides that Obama has created, but would be a weak person dealing on foreign issues. With him being a heartbeat away I cannot justify taking the chance on him being the VP.

So Cruz. But an even better spot for Cruz would be Supreme Court Justice where he could have a much longer positive affect on this nation. Heck he might even take Justice Roberts to the woodshed once in awhile. Perhaps a blanket party might turn that traitor around.

No sir. Take this from me. Trump’s Chief of staff will be one tough Jewish lawyer,. whom I deeply respect , named Michael Cohen. You won’t get by Michael. And when he calls you— you won’t say “you’re busy” Trust me.

Kasich has no personality.

But, I believe he would like to be President and not #2.

Neither. Cruz/Kasich might work. A conservative senator from Texas, paired with a somewhat more moderate governor--and former congressman--from Ohio.

"Cruz adds nothing to a Trump ticket. Just like Ryan did not help the Romney ticket. Texas would go Trump in a Trump-Hillary race and Cruz voters will unlikely vote for Hillary."

That's why it'll be Kasich.

OHIO.

Trump also would likely have Florida locked up, and certainly Texas.

Those are the big 3 for Republicans.

Can’t think of many who do/did. Biden is great entertainment as a gaffe machine. Remember his comment about convenience stores and Indians. Or, give Jill the double barrel to fire a couple of shots from the balcony. Or, his hands all over women while their boyfriends/ husband’s looked on appalled. Surprised someone hasn’t written a Book full of Biden gaffes.

Neither, it will be Trump/Walker or Trump/Christie or not politician at all.

That’s my preference. Sessions has principles. Cruz does not.

Of all the candidates since Reagan, I like Newt the most, but he will be past his expiration date when when his turn comes around this time.

Newt ain't a spring chicken.
