I believe that Trump will pick Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana for VP [View all]

A real right wing nut job but still part of the GOP establishment. It just makes more sense than going with a retread like Newt, who pushed the Bill Clinton impeachment even though he was no saint of marital fidelity himself or Christie who is probably even more unpopular in New Jersey than Trump and has his own ethical problems with Bridgegate.
