Back to the poll; I picked "other" since things are too blurry for me who's gonna be his VP pick, same with Hillary's VP. If she even makes it to November.

Michael Flynn will get the nod.

Far right can moan and groan but unless they want Clinton picking the Supreme Court justices they had better get on board. They will

Unlike the Sanders diehards the far right supporters know this election is largely about the Supreme Court.

They may not be happy with trump but aren't going to stay away or vote third party like a good number of Sanders supporters.

IMO Trump will pick Newt. I like Newt, he's smart, can handle the media, but he has political baggage that I think would hurt Trump. I would prefer Jeff Sessions or even Scott Brown.

I disagree. If Trump picks Flynn, that will prove to many anti-Trumpers that Trump shouldn't be trusted. Trump cozying up to liberals like Flynn is exactly what many conservatives worry about. That doesn't help his case at all. At this point, imo, Newt is his best choice. Trump has already brought in some new voting groups to the GOP, but he needs to make sure conservatives get out and vote. Newt is well respected by many moderates as well.

Newts skeletons in his closet won't effect this race much either, his affairs and divorces will get overshadowed by Trumps.

Update.

Mike Pence has skyrocketed in PredictWise and Offshore bookmakers.

The Indiana Governor is now 2/5 odds-on favorite at the gambling parlors
with PredictWise standing at 52%.
Christie and Gingrich trail at 5/1, 12% respectively.

Trump called me last Friday.

I told him I was too busy for the job.

I think Mike Pence would be a good choice. He is respected and has a proven record.

But, considering he just won the GOP gubernatorial primary, they are potentially setting up to lose the governors race in Indiana, and I would consider that just as important as a VP. The risk/reward seem high.
