"Trump may well have a smaller pool of possible selectees than has generally been the case. The largest constraint on the pool is likely to come from misgivings about Trump among those holding traditional feeder positions and pessimism regarding the likelihood of ticket success.
Ultimately, the Republican nominee may face the shallowest vice presidential pool in recent memory and may find that the available pool includes primarily people not previously thought to be presidential timber or with less experience than normal. Trump has many needs, including addressing his weakness with women and various ethnic groups, his lack of legislative and national security experience, and opposition to his candidacy from the party establishment and social conservatives."
