Donald Trump, in an interview with USA TODAY, floated the names of current and former rivals as potential vice presidents in a Trump administration, but none so far seems to want to have anything to do with the New York real estate mogul.
Zero chance, Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Tuesday on CBSThis Morning. Look, I am running for president of the United States, and thats it.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who dropped out of the Republican presidential field in September citing hopes that others would do the same in order to stop Trump, seemed taken aback. Patrick Marley of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a member of the USA TODAY Network, was there Monday shortly after he learned about Trumps comments.
" 'I literally just heard it in the car and I said I laughed it's kind of interesting to hear that after the things that were said about me a couple weeks ago,' Walker said. 'But I'm focused on being the governor of the state of Wisconsin. ... That's not even on my radar and it certainly wouldn't be with I guess I was shocked more than anything to hear that.'
"He added: 'I can't even fathom that. Like I said, it's almost breathtaking that I was listed in the first place.' "
