Who Will Trump Choose as His VP? One Pick Could Be Genius. And No, It’s Not Christie.

Donald Trump will have a tough time finding a vice presidential candidate if, as expected, he goes on to win the Republican nomination. Ohio Governor John Kasich, long presumed to be running simply to gain a vice presidential slot, said two days ago there was a “zero chance” he’d take a veep slot. “I have no interest,” said Kasich. “I’m going to be governor of Ohio. There is zero chance I will be anybody’s vice presidential candidate – period, end of story.” And there is no way that Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) will take the vice presidential slot; Cruz knows that Trump is a charlatan, and won’t be linked with a man who disdains Constitutional limits on power, speaks in defense of Planned Parenthood, says he wants a form of single-payer healthcare, and pushes American troops to commit war crimes, to name just a few policies with which Cruz will never go along.

So, who’s on Trump’s short list?
