the RNC lean on him to pick who they want as VP?
Have they already made a deal with the Donald that if he winds up as the nominee - they get to pick his running mate?
I'm just curious because knowing the Donald's personality - I would think that he would want to make the choice himself - but today I've been hearing on the cable news shows that Nicki Haley - she's giving the Repug response to the President's SOTU - is the leading candidate for VP.
Any thoughts on this?

(4,461 posts)... There hasn't been a lot of Trump on Kasich browbeating, and only a little on Rubio. The RNC might use the threat of a convention candidate to encourage Trump to play along - as well as the BG state point you make.
But I still think Trump will be overtaken in the primary, so it probably won't matter.
