For outsider Trump, VP pick could be all about insiders

AP GOP 2016 TRUMP A ELN USA NE
WASHINGTON — A presidential nominee's first major decision — picking a running mate — becomes even more important when the candidate is a self-proclaimed "outsider."
Someone like Donald Trump.
Indications are that, like governors and other non-Washington politicians who
have won previous presidential nominations, Trump will likely pick a D.C. "insider" — perhaps a senator or House member — who can help him move legislation through Congress.
"I think I'll probably go the political route," Trump said this month on MSNBC'sMorning Joe. "Somebody that can help me with legislation and somebody that can help me get things passed and somebody that's been friends with the senators and the congressman and all."
