Seems that Nikki Haley, Governor of South Carolina, is the ideal candidate - female, biracial, executive branch experience, Republican credentials.
The thinking is that Trump needs someone who has experience in dealing with the legislative branch. Senators, being part of congressional gridlock, hardly fit in with his contempt for Washington insiders.
A guy like Carson might be useful because he's black but he has no better idea of how to run an executive branch.
The question is whether Nikki Haley would want to run with Trump or whether Trump is willing to forgive and forget. She backed Rubio in the South Carolina primary and Trump is a famous believer in an eye for an eye.
