Ranking Trump's reported VP picks from least-to-most likely

http://mashable.com/2016/05/15/ranking-trump-vp-pick/

Anyway, none of those are necessarily surprises (if you don't think there's such a thing as permanently burning a political bridge), though there may be some Carson didn't let slip about. But it's a good place to start with speculation, so here's a ranking of those five candidates, ranked from least likely to most likely....

4. Marco Rubio
So Trump never called Rubio's wife ugly or made crazy, baseless conspiracy theory accusations about Rubio's father. But the two did have some pretty big battles during the bruising GOP primary which would leave many surprised by a Trump/Rubio team-up....

3. Sarah Palin
Oh, sure, we've heard this one before. And as much as Trump is trying to make up with the GOP establishment, said establishment would hate this pick and that would tickle Trump to no end....

1. John Kasich
Given his "aw, shucks, I'm a nice guy," primary campaign, Kasich could be the perfect fit for Trump to appeal to moderate Republicans and to balance out the nominee's fiery, controversial rhetoric.
