Christie does, clearly, although I suspect he'd be happy with AG.

Ben Carson?

Christie's priority as AG would undoubtedly be to go into legal marijuana states and start arresting pot smokers.

Which means DiFi will vote for him.

because that's long been the word here in Alabama. However, I also think he could pull a Perot and get a retired military guy.

I don't see how Sessions gets him any votes that he wouldn't already have. Thankfully, even here in Alabama, there is a ceiling to the crazy.

Newt might be a good choice from a GOP perspective. He's one of the few guys respected by all the various factions of the party. And a former Speaker helps to balance a candidate with no elective experience.

woman that is moderate and will draw votes from centrist Dems and right leaning independents pissed about Clinton's corruption and bullshit and strong enough to pull disgruntled moderate Republicans back to the fold.

Everybody thinks he is a dumbass, but he isn't. He got this far. When Cruz was playing politics to secure delegates behind the scene, he wised up fast, hired a vicious but powerful political consultant or two, and now Cruz is bowing out. Those are not the actions of a stupid man.

Too many have underestimated him.

He needs a woman or a god-guy (Huckabee for instance) to cover his flanks. Bonus points if they have any foreign policy cred.
