I think Marsha Blackburn will be Rump's veep.

Why, because:

1. She's signaled she's interested (and not many other better qualified people have).
2. She's a certifiable wacko teabag.
3. She knows the ins and outs of Congress (which Rump says he needs in a candidate).
4. She's a woman.
5. She's vicious and hateful, which ties in with #2.

She won't have any problem with his non-stop stream of hate speech.

He regards looks very highly on his list. As horrible as she is Marsha is, by all normal standards, a good looking woman. That is big to Trump.

Another potential candidate is Jan Brewer, but she fails big time in the looks department.

1. She's an elected official, but outside the Beltway.
2. She's a certifiable wacko teabag.
3. Her anti-immigrant credentials are impeccable.
4. She's a woman.
5. She's vicious and hateful, which ties in with #2.

But I like how you think...

She has perfected the requisite condescending gish gallop, and her nastiness toward women is well-documented. Trump might consider all of that to be secondary to her looks, but Melania owns a withering side-eye. This could get ... interesting.

But he did have some unkind things to say about Trump early on.
