With Donald Trump as the Republican partys presumptive nominee , its time for him to start contemplating a running mate. Here are five options for the veep stakes for the outsider who has often said he would look for a number two with political experience:
Chris Christie
Christies endorsement of Trump was a pivotal moment for the campaign. But while the New Jersey governor has been a helpful and loyal surrogate, he doesnt add any geographic balance or conservative credentials. Plus, the footage of Christie standing behind Trump looking like a hostage on Super Tuesday doesnt help.
Newt Gingrich
The former House speaker and 2012 presidential hopeful has long been a rare pro-Trump voice in Washington
Mike Huckabee
Joni Ernst
Mary Fallon

Renew Deal
(82,938 posts)Gingrich doesn't really either. He's been out of the game too long and he might have a more slimey personal background than Trump. I don't think they will double down on adultery and bluster.

Ernst and Fallon are both sufficiently whackadoodle enough to hitch their wagons to Drumpf.
