After review of the candidates I am back to my original thought that Dr Ben Carson would be best for VP.
My initial thought the best selection would be Rubio but after his latest tantrum when he was excluded from the VP selection confirms he is not ready for the big show.
I still love the Trump and Christie stage presence but I am not yet convinced it will help gain votes.
I know some people still want a women but introducing a new face brings in the unknown and pushes Melania off the stage.
And there is Trump and my take is he wants someone he can work with, get along with, and trust.
He said he wanted a go between for congress interestingly enough Dr Carson is being given the chance of working with Paul Ryan.
And even though when Trump and Carson are together you can see the personality contrast, but when Dr Carson is on his own talking Trump he is a very good advocate for Trump.
Dr Carson has a unique way of disarming his opponents and softening their tone.
I can see it know Vice President Carson holds his weekly fireside counseling session for a dysfunctional America.
Just let that sink in a minute.
Huh. I’m surprised at all these conservatives who reject Dr Carson with a one-word post.
I’ve liked Ben Carson for a long time, and hoped he would do better in the primaries. Ran out of money/support I guess.
I certainly hope he’s Trump’s Surgeon General at least. I would vote for a Trump/Carson ticket.

Newt would be a fine VP.
Carson, not so much. Too meek, not sufficiently verbally precise. He might be good in a different position, though.
Absolutely not.
Love Carson also. Great man.
My thinking is Trump is having great fun with all this. It wouldn’t suprise in the least if he picked Ivanka , Don Jr. Lol.
I wasn’t a Ben Carson fan politically. But he might be ok as VP.

Newt’s constituency overlaps too much with Trump’s, limiting the number of new votes he could pull in. Also, Newt is kryptonite to social conservatives, resulting in a drag on the ticket.
Newt’s place is chief of staff. His congressional experience would be invaluable there.

This time From the Top!
Hasn’t Newt done enough damage already?
Trump can’t win with Newt.
Surgeon General.

Newt is deeply compromised, he has done a lot to sell out America and no, just no.
Marsha Blackburn
Duncan Hunter Jr.
Good names for VP
I saw Ben speak in person. As much as I like him...he is a poor public speaker.
No
“Nice guy. No doubt about that.
Lower energy than Jeb or Hillary.”
I agree. Surgeon General would be a better fit.

Weekend Update: Chris Rock on a Black Vice President:
Chris Rock makes it known that there will never be a black Vice President because some black guy would kill the President, become a hero in prison and would eventually be pardoned by the new black President. [SNL Season 16, 1991]
GO NEWT GO
except for that speech he gave with His Highness present...the best I have heard!
Maybe he’ll dump his third wife before he scr*ws America again.
I’d rather see Allen West as VP choice. He has the temperment and military experience.
Hmm, now there’s a thought!
