ms. fiorina i would imagine, but will it be from that group of people that also ran for president?well, i would say probably a 40% chance within the group. i've gotten to be friends with a lot of those people and i guess perhaps enemies with a couple. but i've gotten to be friends with quite a few. i would say there's a good 40 chance. >> let me bring in perry bacon. what possible vp picks could show about a candidate's strategy. let's talk about it. when you look at who could boost trump's image, who you got? >> trump actually interestingly has said, politicians, people in washington don't know what they're talking about. we need a non-politician. we ask him about vps, he says i want to consider someone in politics. i do think if he would pick someone change his image, a woman governor, woman senator who can help him with the female vote or minority vote who's there and available. i noted nikki haley, the governor of south carolina, most known for i would say having the conservative flag taken down. mr. trump is going to say in an interview tonight on fox news that he is not consi
