The two most important criteria are always the same:
1. Pick someone who's would ready to be president, if necessary, and
2. DO NO HARM
He's said he'd like someone with political and legislative experience to help him deal with congress, and he's also said he'd consider some of his former rivals...
1. Former opponents
Both Rick Perry and Bobby Jindal have endorsed Trump. Both are former governors. But Trump will probably win Texas and Louisiana without them...
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was one of Trump's earliest establishment endorsers.. If being an attack dog is a top requirement for a VP candidate then Christie's evisceration of Marco Rubio is a qualification/ recommendation. Then again, Trump usually takes care of those duties himself.
John Kasich, Ted Cruz and Rubio all fit Trump's criteria, though Rubio has ruled it out, and it's hard to see Kasich or Cruz on the ticket after their previous brutal fights with Trump...
2. Members of Congress current and former
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich knows something about running against the establishment. He's made it clear he'd be happy to be on the ticket...

More appropriate would be a Cruz image sending our Constitution through the shredder. Nothing conservative about that boy.
Nothing Conservative about the most Conservative U.S. Senator, huh ? So you won’t vote for the ticket if Trump picks him for VP ?
You answered (I imagine) a question I didn’t ask.
Do you think Cruz wouldn’t be drug into court over NBC?
That’s a different question than the one you answered.
Hillry Clinton birth the birther fight against Obama, and the mindless spineless Republicans cowered in the safe tiny corners... But, Trump did force Obama’s crew to produce him a born in the USA birth certificate... NOBODY is ever going to produce said document for Ted Cruz, he is and will forever be a ‘natural born’ Canadian... Do not like it, it is his parents fault.
She'll go with a safe pick like Sherrod Brown.
Instead of a really inspired pick like Sherrod Small.
I said for the umpteenth time, this is trollbait garbage.
Trollbait.
Hillary! won’t have a VP.
She’ll have a cell-mate if she’s lucky and doesn’t
get solitary in Super Max.
Hey, if IT suits your pleasure to call me ‘troll bait’, I could care less. I know what it requires to be a ‘natural born’ US citizen... and so does the lying Ted Cruz. NO conservative would ever attempt to subvert our Constitution. And that is exactly what Ted Cruz is attempting. DEAL with reality.
So will you vote Trump-Cruz, yes or no ?
You did not answer the question, nor did the other lady:
Will you vote for Trump-Cruz, yes or no ?
I will answer that question when it become a reality. Presently, I have no cause to even entertain such a proposition. For one who saw through the myth of Romney, you sure are slow to recognize the same mentality in Ted Cruz.
Your refusal to answer the questions makes it clear you will not vote for such a ticket.
As for Willard, his record of being anti-Conservative was clear for all to see, while this revisionist history regarding Cruz is a blatant falsehood. When he starts voting like Bernie Sanders, you get back to me.
I will vote for the 'republican'... I do want Trump to be the 'nominee'... but as reminded by the Cruz groupies Trump has yet to get that 1237 required delegates. So please take your holier than thou accusations and stuff them. I voted for lord McCain and that twit Romney...

Cruz is a deceptive little creature... he carried Mitch the Senate's water, crawled into bed with lying Ryan, and got all butthurt when Mitch the Senate refused to resolve him eligible to hold the office of president. Cruz is the highest order of hypocrite...his co-presidental candidate claiming he comes in the 'face of God'... And there is NOT one damn thing conservative about his Euroweeny VAT tax.
That’s because you trolls refuse to answer simple questions with the honest simple answers they deserve.
You’re here only to defend the indefensible and create flame wars.
Every Republican in the Senate is going to vote with the leadership more often than not. Otherwise, you aren't a Republican. But Ted and Mitch hated each other. It's a matter of public record.
I wonder if she’ll still get ss protection in the slammer.
Trump has the bulk of the delegates, so he deserves the nomination. So you are saying you will support Trump-Cruz in November ?
I don’t know what holier than thou accusations you’re going on about. Although I voted for McQueeg, I’ve since repudiated it, since he was in it to assure Zero’s victory. I voted for Virgil Goode in 2012 when the GOP decided to go full retard ringer Socialist for a second time in a row. I have no fealty to the GOP. I am a Conservative first. That’s why I supported Sen. Cruz for President.
Simple trollbait.
