Who Will be Trump's Veep? | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The last person Trump would select is Carly Fiorina, as she endorsed Cruz. Cruz is actually not totally out of the race if the Dump Trump movement gives him most of the remaining states. I suspect that Chris Christie would have to be on the short list of both Republicans.
Clinton's main delegate bloc are the Super Delegates. If Sanders gains a majority of earned delegates, there will be a great deal of pressure on some of these to move to Sanders. Of course, if they agree to play nice, Sanders or Clinton would be top of the list on either of their opponents picks. The HUD Secretary, Castro, is a possibility. Jack Kemp was a former HUD Secretary when Robert Dole chose him as a running mate.
Clinton's picks for Treasury will likely be from Goldman Sacks, unless she puts Sanders on the ticket which would make such a pick rude. I would hope she would not pick a Senator, unless that Senator is from a safe state. Elizabeth Warren could be chosen because Massachusetts law requires election of the replacement - which means a Kennedy might run - a decent interval having passed since Teddy's death.
Just thinking about Trump or Cruz setting up a cabinet shows how unlikely their election is, as they would not be serious about governing. Even if Sanders were the Democratic nominee, they would have no chance - even with expected red baiting.
