Cruz - they're already positioning one another for this.
The fix is already in for Cruz. Altho I do like the possibility of him being SCUS nominee.
I think Cruz would make the most sense, but he might get more votes with Florina to court the women's vote.
Fiorina ain't Palin. Palin got the GOP Base excited, which I don't think Fiorina is going to do.
In addition, Fiorina, like Trump, is known for being a business executive. The VP is supposed to bring the things that the President doesn't have in order to "balance the ticket" if you will. You'd never see Bush/Rubio due to them both being from Florida, for instance.
I could see Cruz being the VP - he (like Trump) fires up the GOP Base, he has some political credentials (he knows the Senate, where he'll be spending time at as VP), he also has the youth (40s) that could allow him to spend 16 years in the White House (doubtful, but possible).
Carson I would like best as Surgeon General or HHS Secretary. I don't see him as POTUS or VP material. I don't see anything in him that says he has what it takes to be Commander-in-Chief.
I think his VP pick could be someone not currently in the POTUS race. I'd say the odds of that are 50-50.
