Trumps Short List for Veep Includes Fourhttps://politicalwire.com/2016/06/18/trumps-short-list-for-veep-includes-four/
"SNIP.............
Politico reports that Donald Trumps own toxicity is making the job of finding a vice presidential nominee that much easier, because the short list is so short.
Multiple high-level Republican sources said it is topped by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, with Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions a distant third and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin also in the mix.

(111,228 posts)While sensible people in OK would love to get rid of Failin, you know she'd be sent packing back home the day after the oath, only to be trotted out for things like funerals for the next four years. She's not pretty enough to keep in DC, and "pretty" is the only reaon Demented Don keeps any woman around.

(182,734 posts)The talk earlier this week of Warren being Hillary's VP was, to me, a wink and a nod to the progressive side. It's sort of a non-endorsement endorsement to let campaigns use their name.

(50,549 posts)Gingrich and Christie are known crooks. Sessions would get eaten alive in a debate. Fallin, in Trump's mind, would "balance" the ticket (translation: people voting with their vaginas should have a GOP choice) but he's not going to put someone from Oklahoma on the ticket.
If I was Trump I'd pick Cathy McMorris Rogers. (Actually, if I was Donald Trump I'd have committed seppuku long before now, which is why it's a good thing I am not Trump. That shit looks like it hurts.)
