As I said, predicting a VP choice is nearly impossible until the last minute because the situation is fluid. A candidate might need some help in a key state, based on current polling. Or the opponent might open up a new line of attack that needs a defense. A lot can change in a few weeks.
But as of today, and according to the Master Persuader filter, I put the odds at 90% than Trump picks Brown as his running mate.

Well said.
You are naïve if you think women are going to vote for two white guys, especially Mr. Christie or Mr. Kasich as VP.
This is the 21st Century.
Marsha Blackburn and Gov. Mary Fallin are two conservative women that fits your criteria for VP. There are others who I like as well, but I don’t believe they want to be VP.
And thank you Lord, Kasich says he won’t take the VP slot.
Dodged a bullet on that one. Whew!
Donald Trump needs to pick from some area of the country that is not full of RINO’s and Democrat-lite.
Forget about Wisconsin, New Jersey, NY, Ohio, Maine, PA, VA, Dakota’s....blah, blah, blah, Massachusetts...
Look to Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Hawaii......blah, blah, blah, Alabama.
The media will vet the VP, man or woman, that Mr. Trump picks. They will be merciless, cruel, nasty, and condescending for the next 5 or 6 months after the VP name is announced.
Oh and let’s not forget they will send at least 125 reporters to the VP’s hometown to find at least one person who saw them pick their nose when they were 5 years old, and gave little Billy Clintoon a wedgie in Kindergarten.
You’re thinking of Tim Scott. brown was briefly US Senator from Massachusetts after Teddy Kennedy died. HE was not reelected and also lost a subsequent bid to serve as senator from New Hampshire
Personally, someone doesn’t have to share my chromosomes to earn my vote. I’m more interested in character and policy positions. However, I realize that my priorities are not everyone’s.
I’m not sure you got my drift. It is not about what I or even you want, what I am saying is that women ARE the majority of registered voters but show little indication to vote for a woman for president. I have asked quite a few women to give me an honest answer as to whether they can see themselves voting for a woman to be president of this country and I got at least ten no answers for every yes.
Please give source link for Donald Trump supporting partial birth abortion.
It was during the Tim Russert interview in 1999. Russert specifically asked if Trump would ban partial birth abortion. Trump said no. In his own words.

Actually, I got your drift and decided to ignore your opinion.
I believe that if women voters are given an opportunity to vote for a charismatic, knowledgeable, young woman as the President/VP choice they will do so.
The only women so far have been Geraldine Awful and Sarah Naïve (and I really do like Sarah).
Out of 17 republicans running for the nomination, the only woman we could get in the race was the horrible Carly. Come on!
And by the way, the post was named ‘Trump’s VP Pick Prediction’ so I have every right to say who I would like to see Mr. Trump pick as a running mate.
So yes the post was all about “what I or even you want”.
I gave my opinion.
Not only are your priorities/qualifications different from mine, we also disagree on the timeliness of having a woman on Mr. Trump’s ticket.
Even Mr. Trump himself has named some women that would make good VP’s as his running mate.
Mr. Trump will ultimately decide who he wants on the ticket with him. However, since the thread was titled ‘Trump’s VP Pick Prediction’, then we both can express our opinions.
I don’t have to agree with your ‘character and policy positions’ assessment.
GHWB was not chosen for Mr. Reagan’s running mate because of his character or policy positions. Neither was Dick Cheney.
Even “Geraldine Awful” and certainly “Sarah Naive” who in almost any estimation would be called a charismatic, knowledgeable young woman must be rated infinitely superior to Hillary Clinton. Elizabeth Dole tried to run as a presidential candidate and got nowhere. Who would it take, Beyonce, Ellen Degeneres? I have no idea what kind of woman would have a chance of winning the female vote for president. I know that my own wife who has a genius level IQ and is one of the most intelligent people I have ever known has said that she will NOT vote for a woman for president. I would be more likely to do so than my wife.
Newt knows where the $inators and Congressits have buried the bodies, they don't want uncovered. So Newt will be able to "negotiate" with them!
A good VP choice!
Duncan Hunter Jr. He has all the skills Trump is looking for.

Yes — you are right. I was

Now that WOULD be a Trumpian pick!
Not the guy, your mind made you think it was.
So many people had to be wrong for him to be right.
Yeah, I just wonder why the attempt at deception....
A sharper guy you’ll never find, but nobody is immune to their own desires.
