“Donald Trump doesn't care one way or the other about abortion. I doubt he'll give the issue any weight whatsoever in regards to choosing his running mate.”

Trump may not care about abortion per se, but he cares about winning, and he seems to have got the message that he needs pro-life voters to win this election. I doubt he'll choose a pro-choice running mate.

Agree — To limit his options like that does not sound like Donald’s style to me. He may seem the enfant terrible sometimes, but again sometimes it takes a “child” to say and ask the things that society has been paralyzed into being mute about.

He'll choose whoever he sees fit. Don't expect Trump to kiss the rings of single-issue interest groups. After all, Trump knows that pro-lifers can either vote for his ticket or stay home and watch Hillary Clinton become the next president.

Does it make more sense to have Hillary Clinton as President, no matter who her VP is, than Donald Trump, no matter who his VP pick is ?

That may have been the case during the primaries. No matter what Trump does or say he doesn't seem to lose his die-hard base. So a case could be made for Trump reaching for social liberals in the general election. So he could pick a social liberal with a macho front like a general. God help us all.
