With Donald Trump's Tuesday victory in Indiana, he now looks like a sure bet to become the 2016 Republican presidential nominee.
The next item on his agenda: Whom should he pick as his running mate?
His decision will depend on what he hopes to accomplish with his No. 2.
Here are 22 possible candidates, bunched according to the various scenarios Trump and his campaign team will likely consider

Too soon to speculate.
Leave some suspense for the convention.
My preference would be for Newt Gingrich, personally.
I hope Trump drags out this VP decision as long as he possibly can. Keep your opponents guessing. Be unpredictable. Do not let the media box him into making this choice prematurely. Slow and steady. Everything in it’s chosen time.
Good article actually.
I had never, ever considered Clint Eastwood.
But otherwise all of my picks are on the list. Good article.
Stephen Miller
Of the Steve Miller Band?
I disagree. Hillary needs a black or latino VP to stimulate the hood vote. Warren brings none of that to the party.
Trump knows what he’s doing....leaving Hillary in suspense.
Time will tell the tale, either way. ;)
Why doesn’t anyone mention Governor Abbott? I love him.
Tim Scott might not be so bad. Especially if there are riots this summer. Don’t know a whole lot about him but I’ve heard him speak a few times and seems legit. Don’t know if he can take over in 4 years though, that should be a major decision point.
Out of that list I think Rubio, Ernst, Gingrich and Rick Scott are the strongest possibilities. Just a feeling, but I think he could reach out to Rubio. We know Rubio has no problem changing his positions to please his bosses. He would soothe a lot of GOPe types into supporting or at least not undermining the Trump campaign, and fits Trump’s stated wish for a DC insider. Trump gains nothing by picking another outsider, business person, or very traditional conservative.
..... There’s a rumor he’s going to try to tap Arnold Schwarzenegger to help secure the all important Steroid Users vote in California..
Janice Rogers Brown
Or Cruz to unite Republicans and save America from communism = Hilary Clinton or Bernie Sander.
Eastwood is too old
My weird Celebrity pick would be Tim Allen or Ted Nugent.

Crazy pick:
Gentle, and ladies I give you the Honorable: Ralph Deleon Guerrero Torres.
The Governor of the Common Wealth of the Northern Marianas Islands.

Despite bad mouthing him earlier I still think it will be Suzanna Martinez
The Dem ticket was: Clinton-Obama (as in Michelle)
Think of it: B. Obama tells Hillary: The price of not being indicted, is Michelle gets the VP slot.
I am sure Obama has watched House of Cards and took notes.
Disagree. Hillary has the black vote already. She needs to reach out to Bernie supporters. Warren as VP would energize them. The downside is she could overshadow her cankleness.
If Trump wants to double down on what it is that’s gotten him this far, Judge Jeanine Pirro is a great choice.
Janice Rogers Brown
Or Cruz to unite Republicans and save America from communism = Hilary Clinton or Bernie Sander.
Ben Carson or Sarah Palin also would be good VP choices.
