“Allowing Trump’s successor to emerge and be developed at a later time,” as George W. Bush did by picking someone like Cheney, would be a disaster if it resulted in another McCain or Romney. No thanks. Pick a real conservative, relatively young, and make him the favorite for 2020 or 2024. (Pence is 57.)
Keeping all that in mind, Governor Pence has done way better than anyone expected. But I would NEVER place bets on trying to figure out what choice Mr. Trump will make!
Trump will announce it in his own time.
Please, let it be West.
This is nothing new.
The corrupt in D.C., the controlling globalist, and assorted anti-American anti-freedom extremist have been doing this 24/7 since 6/16/2015.
Jeff sessions would be fantastic
I do not think a President Trump would make the same mistake. I believe he will bring a lot of talent into the Administration and likely not one but several of them will emerge as serious future presidential candidates. People who we are not even talking about today as being major players.
So in Trump's case, he may decide to go with a seasoned vet for now over some young upstart. I believe he's always thinking well ahead.
Trump knows how to be a showman and keep things interesting, and his VP may or may not be anyone the world is currently focusing on
I think I'll be surprised and possibly disappointed if it is.
They will very likely lose to one of Trump’s sons. The Clinton’s and Bush’s are not the only ones who can play political dynasty.
My hope is Sessions, but Pence is a choice I can live with...
I agree that Bush not only had no heir apparent but didn’t bother to try and find one either. Pence is both young and seasoned. At 57 he has a long future ahead of him. And should the worst happen, he would make a good president.
Sometimes the best way to hide something is in plain sight.
My memory might be fuzzy on this but didn't McCain plant Sarah Palin with the press pool during the announcement? When her name was announced, she simply got up and walked right past them on her way up to the stage.
I’ll just say that it’s interesting that Fox has severed ties with Newt. He could be the man. Eye of Newt!!
Yes, the Trump boys are both sharp as the proverbial tack. I have heard them on the radio. Ivanka is OK too.
I don’t think it’s wild card time. It’s been a year of wild cards. A safe, stable choice that’s relatively inoffensive and doesn’t lose votes. Trump is already a wild card running a high risk high reward campaign. He needs a stable, boring counterweight.

I still think the VP will be SARAH PALIN.
There are two things Trump respects more than anything else.
1. Loyalty. Pence voted for Cruz. Enough said. Gingrich has been on the Trump Train since the beginning.
2. Truth Telling. Trump respects people that have their own opinions and can back them up. That is Gingrich all the way. Gingrich is not afraid to tell Trump he’s wrong on something and Trump respects that.
Palin for interior or energy.
