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...

What don’t you see? He is a career government employee. Spent lots of time working for Bush. Is loony tunes along with Beck
If you don’t already know, no explanation from me is going to help you understand.
Martinez doesn’t have much of a record and she has some embarrassing, albeit minor, scandals. She should be far down the list of choices.
Of course, Trump said he won’t announce until the convention, so this is all just academic until then.
Biden’s VP will be Elizabeth Warren. HRC is going nowhere.
Cruz, Rubio, and Jindal are ineligible. Rubio, Christie and La Raza Rick Perry love foreigners over US citizens. Christie even likes Muslims over US citizens. Cruz hates Trump and loves visas for foreigners. Corker is anti-Constitution.
The liberal National Public Radio (NPR) is the last place to go for information on who Trump should choose as a running mate. Almost every name mentioned is a flaming lib. Trump needs insurance. Placing an open border globalist on his ticket will just increase his need for Secret Service protection.
Post #40. You kids need to get your talking points straight. BTW, who gives two craps about Glenn Beck ? He was nuts long before this Presidential race.
Cruz is NOT eligible to hold the office of president. Plus he is not trustworthy.
Non-response. Gotcha.
He is 100% eligible for both President and Vice-President. And he is 100% trustworthy.
+1
oops...said it twice...I guess I really like him.
Yes. The correction would be to make vice president plural.
And, the dems have a ton of video showing what Trump thinks of Cruz. I do not understand the thinking that Sen Cruz would be the pick. All we would hear is “Lyin Ted” and how Mr Trump caved to the establishment. It would be a nightmare.
Experienced in foreign policy, Black, Woman, Respected, ........
Newt for COS.
He might go with Ernst of Iowa....he’s going to need one or two small states after Ohio & Florida, which I suspect he gets. Iowa is already trending RED.
She’s also from California. A large state.
Cruz’s melt down over the NE expose on daddy Cruz at Trump would run 24/7.
