I like her but I doubt it. I also like Newt as a choice.

My guess is Pence as a peace offering to the Cruzbots and NeverTrump people. And at the speech Cruz will then endorse Trump as his peace offering in return.

Palin will be a great Secretary of Interior/Energy and Newt Chief of Staff

Newt is a dangerous man - he is for global warming, was or is a member of the CFR. What’s to like about him? Don’t forget NAFTA. Bad, bad, choice. Vet these people - their views on the issues are on the internet - look them up.

I think you're right that Pence will get the nod because...

A proven conservative on issues like abortion and marriage.
Former Congressman who knows the ropes
Chairman of the House Republican Conference 2009-2011 meaning he knows people and how to twist arms.
Executive experience as Governor of Indiana, the 15th largest state.
Hails from the Rust Belt where Trump needs votes
Comes from a Democrat Irish Catholic background (Reagan Democrats?)
High energy, good looking guy -- and presidential.
Could also pass for a Marine Corps general -- has the gravitas
Strong on stopping illegal immigration.
Doesn't have the negative baggage of a Newt
Beautifully balances the strengths of Trump

On paper, he's an excellent choice.
