people like chris christie there today, but most of the people who talked to us like him better in the role of attorney general than vice president of the united states. somewhat unusual, andersontie and donald trump weren't on stage at the same time, weren't together, but it's dangerous when it comes to picking a vice presidential candidate, like surprises a lot, saw that in 2008 with sarah palin, saw that in 1988 with dan quayle, and if john mccain and george h.w. bush can surprise us, a guy like donald trump could surprise us, too. >> certainly has really all this entire election so far, surprised a lot of people. gary, thanks. back to our political panel, new york times political correspondent patrick healy. donald trump all along has said in terms of a vice president pick, he wants to go for somebody political, not necessarily military or the economic side as a businessman, he wants to go somebody who can help him out with capitol hill. who do you think it's going to be? >> that plays a lot to gingrich's strengths. my reporting has found chris christie's star has sort of faded in the v.p. side, mr. trump would like to give him a senior role in the administration, but he's
