Trump is the "big personality" in the room. As my Dad related to me years ago, there can only be one "big personality" in a room. Put two in the same room and they'll fight until one leaves. I suspect Trump knows this, which rules out other "big personalities" like Chris Christy. Who ever the VP nominee is, I'm guessing they'll understand very clearly who the boss is and will defer to him in all situations.

Trump has stated on more than one occasion that his VP will not be a career politician, but will have political experience. ??
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Trump won't pick a veep to prop up in the corner. Whoever works for Trump has to produce. This is what I think as well. I believe he'll look for someone who'll help politically and at the same time be someone who gets things done.

Martinez obviously dislikes Trump. Now that he has the nomination wrapped up, she is still refusing to endorse him. I think that you can cross her off the list.
I'm guessing that he will select someone with significant public service experience outside of DC--perhaps a fellow New Yorker, or at least someone from New England. He doesn't seem to have a lot of respect for people outside of the the sphere of influence in which he operates.

The place he needs a lot of work is the Southwest. Someone from Texas would be a great pick. I would like to see him pick Perry. The man is a hard core gun nut. I like that.

Rick Perry has pretty much been a career politician since he graduated college...

Agree about Rick Perry being a 2nd Amendment proponent, but Trump wouldn't choose him. Competing hair.

I would say that a politician who has held a variety of elected offices for 30 years until he or she was term-limited out, and who then decides to run for President, pretty much fits the description. Especially if he started out moving up rapidly in one party and then switched to the other when it was obvious that was his only hope to continue to seek higher elective offices. I don't have anything against Rick Perry, but I don't think that I would like to see him one heartbeat away from the Presidency, as the saying goes...

I feel it is a given that the Republican (Trump) will win it.
