As I said, predicting a VP choice is nearly impossible until the last minute because the situation is fluid. A candidate might need some help in a key state, based on current polling. Or the opponent might open up a new line of attack that needs a defense. A lot can change in a few weeks.
But as of today, and according to the Master Persuader filter, I put the odds at 90% than Trump picks Brown as his running mate.

I think Romney backing Cruz had little to do with politics and more to do with personal animus.
Agree, I am a big fan of Scott Walker! However, I do think Mr. Trump should choose a candidate from the south or the west to balance the ticket.
What happens if Hillary picks Bernie for VP? Does that make her harder to beat?
Don't worry it's more likely Cruz would be the VP over Brown.
LOL. I stopped reading after that one.
What an offensive post and tagline. Sorry for your emotional issues. Yours must be a sad world.
Sarah Palin? According some on this forum, only we foolish stupid shallow women cast our votes based on looks!
Scott Brown is no Conservative. I wouldn’t trust him.
Rubio and Kasich are avowed amnesty supporters. How is that conservative?
Steve Forbes is a Great idea!
How things might have been different had Forbes won in ‘96!
That would be a strong brilliant experienced ticket and Steve is 68 years young.
(Shot a rattlesnake with a crossbow one time!)
Amen to your first statement.
Has Walker removed himself from consideration for VP like most of the rest of the field? Rubio and Kasich have said they won’t do it. Trump has indicated he wants someone with Washington experience, and I think that’s wise and the only strike against Walker.
That would be an insane choice, and the choosing of a loser, determined to please the least swing of the most non-swing state in the Union. He simply must pick someone outside the Northeast, if only because, like it or not, Mr. Trump is, singularly, a New Yorker.
I say any one of the Robertsons
Great question! I think it will help her with the younger and very liberal voter but not anywhere else. I don’t see how it helps her in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Florida or Pennsylvania.

Newt Gingrich knows how the Congress works and can push the Congress to assure that things get done.
Trumps needs a guy with hands-on experience at that level. The choice of a female would just be pandering and not helpful to the revolution
We can disagree. The VP choice is important. I think GWB wouldn't have been elected without Cheney - remember the press with the "gravitas". I know people who voted again McCain because of Palin. Although I can't stand either one, Biden was a good "experienced" choice for the community organizer Obama. Romney wasn't my first choice but I was more happy to vote for him at the time because of Ryan. I don't think the VP has to be a lot younger, just not older ala Brewer & Gingrich. I like Sessions a lot but he's going to be 70 in December.
Trump has appeal because he's not an old politician and is running a new way of campaigning. Putting an old politician on the ticket with him might put off the Bernie voters that definitely would not vote for Hillary but might vote for Trump. I put my faith in Trump to pick who he feels is best.
And tired, and looks it. His time to be veep passed by about the time he got caught "in the saddle," so to speak, in the back of his car in a House Office Bldg. parking lot... Many folks may have forgotten, but it's guaranteed that the Demon-Rats. and not a few Republican Members, have not forgotten that Newt was the second Speaker of the House to resign mid-term, or why.
Two South-Central states’ Dems worked for Clinton. Those were the waning days of Dems in the south, but the mix worked. People actually believed they were “moderates.”
