I'm pretty confident that Scott Brown is going to be Trump's pick. I saw Manafort on CNN a couple days ago and he seemed awfully bullish on how strongly Trump was going to perform in New England.
Brown would fit into Trump wanting someone with legislative experience, and Brown himself has morphed into a more 'Trumpian' candidate on issues like immigration over the past couple months. He could stay on message as Trump's running mate as well as be reassuring to the GOPe.
Expect Trump to give a very "strong" position on abortion every time he's asked about it, because his VP pick is likely to be a disappointment to socons.
Eh? Trump will overperform in New England by selecting a running mate who lost in New England twice?
Scott Brown is probably the most politically talented Republican in NE in a long time. I doubt it would alter the map a whole lot, but it could force the Dems to spend $$$ in places they didn't expect.
He shouldn't be overlooked because the Romney anchor (and a gazillion dollars of outside spending) took him down in '12.
