Donald Trump has had a very good week. On Tuesday, he won the Indiana Republican primary by a wide margin, forcing his primary rival Senator Ted Cruz out of the race. The next day, his other rival, Ohio Governor John Kasich, also made his way to the exit, clearing the way for Trump to take the Republican nomination.

Now all Trump needs to do is convince the Republican Party’s leadership that his candidacy won’t pave the way for an electoral bloodbath up and down the ballot come November. One way he might be able to do that? Pick a respectable running mate. Who should he select as his vice president? We want to know what you think. Cast your votes below.
