20 people you can bet on to be Donald Trump's vice president
Houston Chronicle ^ | May 13, 2016

Donald Trump says there’s a 40 percent chance he picks someone from this year’s Republican presidential field as his vice president. But the odds-on favorite to win the veepstakes: Newt Gingrich.

The former speaker of the house was a perpetual thorn in the side of the Bill Clinton administration. And he sounds like he’s relishing a shot at Hillary Clinton. Gingrich has lavished praise on Trump. The business mogul has not said much about the man named Newt. But oddsmakers and betting markets like Gingrinch’s chances nonetheless.

In this unpredictable election season, bookies have some other strange options in mind for Trump. On betting site PaddyPower, you can place money on Mitt Romney (66/1), Lindsey Graham (80/1) and even Trump’s daughter (50/1) as of May 13...

Well, here I go again. Call me whatever you want, I will understand,and not be aggravated. In my opinion the following persons are not Natural Born Citizens,i.e. born in the United States to two U.S. citizen parents. They are either Native Born or Naturalized: Haley, Rubio, Cruz, and Jindal. Nominate any of these for the V.P. slot and you are asking for big problems down the road.

Haha haha.

Fine. Have Trump pick a mini Trump and lose because all they could capture was McRomney’s constituency.

“But we were ideologically pure!”

“He’d have been a great VP! If only we had won.”

Sorry you can’t see the more important picture.

The Czar Czar? Works for me. I would love to see Newt’s expertise put to use, but I hope Trump begins grooming a successor.

Please don’t bring his name up again. Thank you.

Please don't put his name in with a list of RINO GOPe calling them conservative.

Don’t think they are qualified

Neither is Chelsie but she will run one day unless Hillary and Bill go to jail.

OK, I got off my lazy butt and actually did some research. I now see Condi is soft on pro life calling herself “mildly pro-choice”, and would not mesh with Trump’s immigration policies, as she has made some disturbing comments on immigration. It’s a shame that so many pubbies (not all) in Texas think they have to kowtow to the la Raza segment. Although I think she would be great for the win with her high favorability ratings, I personally don’t think she would be good for what our country needs if she became POTUS.

Condi's going to be linked to Iraq; in addition, she's no friend of Israel; and, best of all, she voted for Obama -- twice (so did Colon-blow Bowell).

“We MUST win this election. Hunter adds zero to the ticket. Horrible choice.”

YOU just outed yourself as a TROLL.

Have a nice day!

Hunter is a fine Congressman from good stock. He would make a fine VP. He just wouldn’t help get Trump elected. And we MUST win this election.

Have a nice day!

We will win the election because Trump will destroy Clinton. Probably one of the easiest business problems Trump has ever had to deal with : )
