Trump is smart he will pick some one who has these three qualifications/
First will keep him from being an assassination target by being solidly behind him on his agenda and who can not be seduced by Lobbyists,
Second he or she must bring in votes to help win states because if you don't win it doesn’t matter.
Third he wants them to be what he is not and who can help him achieve his goals.
Match those and you narrowed down your list of potential VP picks.
“Trump will not pick a white guy from Kentucky.”
Lol.
Excellent list. With those three, you can immediately eliminate not only Rand Paul bur also Newt and Cristie. Dr. Ben Carson, Joni Ernest or even Ted Cruz (if he would pack in his foolish pride) would all check at least two of those three boxes.
