I think Trump should pick former Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson. She would be a decent choice. She would appeal to the grassroots conservatives and the GOP-E. (GOP establishment)
Dude. She's been out of office for over 15 years, and her last electoral race was to lose a primary to Rick "oops" Perry. She wouldn't have a shot at running statewide in Texas anymore.
3, not 15.
Well, Gingrich is out of Office for 18 years.
Gingrich is pretty good at keeping himself in the spotlight, though - like his 2012 run.
I'm not sure why "has been in the spotlight recently" is an important requirement for VP.
EDIT: Anyway, this is silly. There's no indication whatsoever that Hutchison is being considered, and no one has asked her if she's interested or anything like that, so I'm not sure why we're talking about her.
It's gonna be either Gingrich, Christie or Corker.
Why would it be Corker? He's the most boring establishment Republican ever.
