I would think serious vetting would begin around mid June, but that's just a gut feeling, I have no evidence to back that up. But late July just seems a bit too late, no?

Watch Trump put names in a hat and pull out - Omarosa! (You're hired)

Say what you will, I think Trump is smart enough to know what kind of VP he'd like to see on the ticket, and he's pretty much already indicated that it will be someone in politics. My bet would be a sitting/former governor, and he'll probably be especially interested in having a woman running mate. Again, this last speculation is just my gut talkin'...

So the vetting will all be done in a month (since the conventions are in July)?  That's a much tighter window of time than we've seen for any recent VP selection.

Yet another reason why I think we'll be seeing known quantities in the slot - folks that have already been run through an initial vetting process. And I think that'll be true on both the Dem and GOP tickets.
