Trump: I Will Pick a Political Insider as VP

On Thursday, Donald Trump sat down at the soon-to-be-finished Trump International Hotel in Washington DC for an interview with Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.

The newspaper published the interview on Saturday.

During the interview, Trump discussed the type of person he would choose for Vice President.

From the interview:

Well, the number one role is to be a great president if something should happen. Okay? That’s always got to be the number one role for a vice president. After that, I would say, frankly, somebody that can help you get elected. And then thirdly, somebody that helps you with the Senate and with the House. So it would be a political person. In other words, I don’t need to have another great businessman come in and — I don’t need that. What I do...

 Somebody that can walk into the Senate and who’s been friendly with these guys for 25 years, and people for 25 years. And can get things done. So I would 95 percent see myself picking a political person as opposed to somebody from the outside.
