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

That IS a genuinely terrifying nightmare scenario.
Susana Martinez would be good too as she’s a woman and a hispanic Republican governor
Former U.S. Senator and President of The Heritage Foundation, 64-year old Jim DeMint.
Clint and sherif joe are in thier eighties
This is a garbage article. A few predictable possibilities, but the author (Tim Funk?) actually tries to suggest someone like Joe Scarborough, or Jesse Ventura?
Or Carl Icahn? Or Franklin Graham?
The VP position is both the most critical (’heartbeat away from the Presidency’) and the most meaningless except for splitting ties in the Senate and attending foreign funerals.
I’m hoping that Trump will hold off until the convention when he becomes the ‘official’ nominee before announcing his choice for VP. It needs to be someone who can step up and serve as President at once, should it become necessary.
Rubio would be a repeat mistake like Reagan choosing HW Bush. I say cut a deal w Cruz, my VP, after election is won, Cruz resigns and is submitted for SCOTUS and DT fills the VEEP position as he sees fit.
The list of people who might actually say yes is underwhelming. None of those folks are going to help the ticket get elected. The best you can say for them is that they won’t hurt him. And even that’s not true for some of them.
That’s crazy. I didn’t think it was possible to ever have a candidate with less experience or qualifications than the bamster. Your scenario destroys my conclusion.
But Trump would anger so many conservatives in Florida, he could very well lose the state. I don’t think he can afford that at this point. Reaching out to Rubio is a no. Out of those you singled out, Gingrich is the one who best fits what Trump said he wanted in a VP.
How about Mike Rowe, he’s all about the American worker.
Too old. The VP has to be at an age ready to assume the Presidency.
Of the Steve Miller Band?
Gang of Eight Rubio? Newt is too old.
Like a fish needs a bicycle.
Carl Icahn,Joe Arpio,Clint Eastwood? This list is half idiotic. Oh yeah, Franklin Graham too.
Trump needs a very qualified woman to balance ticket >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Nah! Trump is married to all the woman he needs. Women voters will soon be eating out of her hand.....the new Jacqueline Kennedy.
Trump needs a solid , energetic, VP with a never give up attitude.It doesn’t matter what sex they might be.
Now that’s a good idea!
One tough female! She would devour Warren in a debate.
Great advise.
Interesting. I like it! Put me down for The Judge Jeanine.
It is sessions or palin.
