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.

Look at group pics
I like Christie but he’s more liberal than Trump
We need someone the other way
If Newt were 55
Gas tax Christie would make Trump loose Jersey and Pa. Nobody want a guy who is trying to raise the gas tax 23 cents/gallon.
I’m going to have a hard time with this if Christie is the pick. I mean I will vote for TRUMP but I absolutely detest the fat POS from my home state. He tried to impose a $.23 tax increase on gas claiming it would be a good thing. Thankfully the senate stopped that stupidity yesterday.
The Gingrich-Pelosi ad was in 2008--just eight years ago. Surely we can find a better VP candidate than some washed-up has-been who carries enough baggage to sink the Queen Mary.
Sarah Palin is the perfect running mate for Trump anyway you slice it, and no one else can be trusted to continue to carry out his agenda should he not finish his term in office.
If you want her to be the Vice President, then why are you being such a NeverPalin?
How old are u
Just trying to gain perspective
Gingrich almost single handedly end 43 years of democrat rule in The House
I’ll take that washed up has been any day
She's only "perfect", if YOU want trump to lose.
Besides which, Newt claims that he is NOT being vetted.
Exactly so; he is NOT a NBC!
I’ve read what she writes and heard her talk about the possibility.
And in case you haven't noticed....I am rarely wrong! ;^)
OTOH.....as much as I really like and admire Palin, she is too damaged to be on the ticket; sadly.
;-)
Trump can’t win without her. He knows it even if you don’t yet.
Did you see her speech stumping for Trump today? Watch it, and then try to tell me that she isn’t the best person he could possibly choose as a running mate.

She’s great campaigning in conservative-friendly states that Trump should win without much of a problem, but she alienates more people than she attracts in every other state.
