Trump's VP finalists include Christie, Gingrich
CNN ^ | June 30, 2016 | Jamie Gangel, Phil Mattingly and Tal Kopan

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich are among the finalists to be Donald Trump's running mate, sources confirmed to CNN on Thursday...

The New York Times was first to report Christie's vetting. The Washington Post reported Thursday evening that Gingrich was also being vetted, with Sens. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, and Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, also emerging as final contenders, but a source very close to the campaign said the Post's report was inaccurate. The source added, however, that a surprise choice could also be in store.

He is allowed to met with people, he is allowed to discuss things like this, his cabinet people, who he would like where, but he can't announce it...until the convention...

I don't think anyone knows who he is going to pick for V.P.

I have the ‘feeling’ that Christie would be his A.G.; Rudy as his Home Land Security; Stephen Miller as his adviser; and Katrina Pierson as his press Sect....but that is what I'm reading between the lines, no one and especially Trump has said a word about any of it...

No they aren't; I would be SHOCKED if he picked any of those for his VEEP.

Palin doesn't want it and the other two would lose the election for him; especially Newtie!

I don’t know how old you are, but as a very recent member of this site, you obviously know less than NOTHING at all about Netwie and I suggest that you look at FR’s archives.

Newt would be a good choice on the basis of qualifications, conservatism, and intelligence, but hasn’t he been thoroughly demonized by the Demonrats over the years? Maybe younger voters wouldn’t remember.

Newtie claims that he is NOT being vetted and obviously you want Hillary to be the next president.

Grab a damned clue and learn about Newtie, so you stop posting this tripe.

I think so too. Trump prides himself on doing the unexpected. That rules out the obvious choices. Plus I noticed that yesterday Trump retweeted an Allen West item, and today Allen West’s site featured a pro Trump story.

Hmm.

No biggie and it was already posted before mine. Who cares. Just kind of surprised.
I was typing a reply and all of the sudden thread has been pulled.! Whatever.
Good thing I don’t post too often.
