Little Marco For VP?

I've been hearing his name come up a lot recently to become Trump's Vice President. And they have been making nice to each other recently. Is he the best running mate? I used to see Kasich in that role but he seems to be acting crazy recently. Can Marco just say that he's from Ohio to make it easier on everyone?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict Trump's running mate will be a woman.

Condi Rice would be a grand slam. Probably won't happen though.
If not Condi, a governor would be far better than a legislator IMO. Trump is a deal maker so he doesn't need a Senator to teach him how to make deals. He would learn a lot from a governor however.

LOL! How about another outsider with real-world experience, something Little Marco has neither of?
If Trump fucks the VP up it won't speak well to his bluster at all.
Kasich leads, but way too early to get a read:

Condi Rice is a NeoCon. Trump is not. If Trump is going to criticize Slick Hilly for not having anything to offer besides being a woman, what it'll say if he picked Condi Rice, a black woman who doesn't have much to offer either? She won't attract the black vote -- she's just an "Uncle Tom" to them.

How about Nikki Haley? She's a governor, a woman, and mildly but non-threateningly ethnic.

I'd rather have Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert as Trump's vp. An entertainer with another entertainer to balance him out. Certainly would make me more interested in voting.

Isn't Dennis Miller the only Republican comedian? Or, if the intent is to carry the swing comedian crowd, Louis CK is probably a good pick.

Beyonce baby, Beyonce for VP. Or maybe Oprah, but she seems out of the limelight. Mylie Cyrus perhaps, but she is probably too young. The sure fire way to capture more of the popular vote.

I believe he's in the Bernie Sanders camp. Unless he actually is Bernie.
