~snip~
Donald Trump has narrowed his vice presidential picks to three: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and former Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Each of the three potential running mates brings different advantagesand baggageto the presumptive Republican nominees campaign. The final pick will show a lot about how Trump thinks he can win in November.
Unlike some other Trump campaign decisions, the vice presidential pick is also pretty final. Hell have to live with his running mate through November, and, if he wins, through a four-year term in office.
Heres a look at the three men considered to still be in the running.

(10,500 posts)Gingrich would be a total disaster for the GOP, just like he always has been.
I hope that Trump is stupid enough to pick him.

(19,066 posts)My order of preference that he picks would be:
1. Gingrich- would be a disaster.
2. Christie- would be a joke
3. Pence- is a RWer and would solidify the GOO's RW base.

(10,500 posts)I would rather Trump pick Pence than Christie. Chris Christie is a good prosecutor and a good liar. He could effectively spread the GOP lies.
