Donald Trump's running mate: Who might he be considering?

"I would think that because of the fact that while I'm very political - I'm not a politician - I would want to choose a politician," the candidate told FOX Business Network's Neil Cavuto.

Trump's national campaign co-chair told the Boston Herald the candidate is looking for a "diamond in the rough" as a potential running mate.

That's obvious. Ted Cruz.

Nope - Cruz would not leave his Senate seat for VP. He's far more important in exposing establishment RINO's in the Senate. If Trump is the nominee, he better STFU on calling Cruz a liar as he would be perfect on the Supreme Court or at least Atty General.

Trump is an unforgiving guy though, so I bet he'll pass on Cruz altogether. He just better be smart and pick a REAL conservative as his VP.

Rush is anti-Trump. He is finished.

[mouse1]

yes Rand Paul

[Signalman]

Michael Savage!

[georgiarat]

Republican Governor of New Mexico.

[bigbob]

only in FReeper fantasyland...

Scott Walker
John Kasich
Susanna Martinez
Rick Scott
Rob Portman

All the above fit his comment about wanting someone who had political experience to help get things thru Congress. Otherwise, a former corporate CEO or executive.

[TruthWillWin]

Just joking, “Rush”. Actually, he should make Rush his press secretary.

[skimbell]

Chalz Krauthammer. Or maybe Steve Hayes. No no, George Will.

There you go...George Will.

[demkicker]

This is where I part ways with Heritage. Rubio is part of the establishment and a great pretender. I will be sick if Rubio is the nominee.

[georgiarat]

I like Perry but his campaigning outside Texas has been a disaster.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Thats who I think

[Democrat_media]

she’s a beauty

to Sarah Palin from me:

Sarah , your eyes they put the stars to shame

your smile it lights up the whole room

Marry me Sarah!

[TruthWillWin]

Yes, even better than Rush, make Rush the press secretary.

[ez]

I think Christie will be on the short list because Trump will think he can win NJ.

[TheCipher]

Former Cinncinatti Mayor Jerry Springer...may help in Ohio....

Democrat. Born in London, England

[mac_truck]

Trump should choose someone who shares his vision and who he gets along with, but would serve as a conservative anchor.

Two names come to mind in that regard, Alabama Sen Jeff Sessions and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr.

[fireman15]

There are a few others, but I think that Newt Gingrich is a very likely possibility.

[TruthWillWin]

Herman Cain.

[Charles Henrickson]

Oprah.

[mcshot]

I like Newt and your idea. Let them come to be if it is Trump.
