Is Trump going to have trouble getting a VP candidate?

Or at least an acceptable VP candidate who would bring in disgruntled republicans?That's a real possibility as most mainstream republicans seem unwilling to accept him as the face of their party. So who's it going to be?

I'm pretty sure the Gates of Hell will open up and demons will spew forth upon the earth at the sight of a Donald Trump/Rick Scott ticket.

Consider Chris Christie... Oh, did you mean a good VP candidate? Well, these are republicans, so I think I can still stick with "No".
