AP Interview: Donald Trump Says He's Narrowed VP Shortlist
By JULIE PACE AND JILL COLVIN, ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK May 10, 2016, 4:26 PM ET
Donald Trump, the Republicans' presumptive presidential nominee, says he's narrowed his list of potential running mates to "five or six people," all with deep political resumes.
He says he has not ruled out New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a former rival who has embraced the billionaire's campaign with gusto.
"I have a list of people that I would like," Trump said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press.
The real estate mogul and former reality television star said he's giving special weight to political experience because he wants a vice president who can help him "with legislation, getting things through" Washington if he wins the White House.

Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, has been chosen to run the vetting effort "with a group" that includes former rival Ben Carson and Trump himself, he said.

But then again, his ego wouldn't allow him to be second place. However, he wouldn't be able to say "no" to himself if he asked himself because he's so awesome.
