NASHUA, N.H. Former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) declined to rule out running for vice president with Donald Trump at the First in the Nation Town Hall in New Hampshire on Saturday.
Trump recently implied that he would be willing to consider Brown for the position.
Asked by TheBlaze if Brown would be willing to run with Trump, he said that it is an honor to be considered for a vice presidential nomination, but it is still too early in the process to seriously consider the position.
Brown, who lost a 2014 bid to represent New Hampshire in the Senate, recently hosted an event for Trump in the state. Brown has also hosted events for other candidates in his No BS Backyard BBQ series.
According to The Hill, at the Trump rally last week, when an audience member suggested that the two join forces on the Republican ticket, Trump said, Vice president hey, that sounds like it could, hey, hey, very good.
Hey, you know what? And hes central casting. Look at that guy. Central casting, Trump said. Hes great. Great guy and a great, beautiful, great wife and family. So important.
The former Massachusetts senator relocated to New Hampshire to challenge incumbent Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) for her seat in 2014, but lost in a close race.

I see that we are now getting a peek of who Trump will stack in DC if elected.
Brown is pro-choice. Having a pro-choice candidate on the ticket is the kiss of death if Trump wants the Pro-life vote to show up.
Plus, if this is where his advisors are leading him, to a big NE liberal Republican on the ticket with a big NE billionaire then he needs to get new advisors. Trump needs someone from Ohio or Florida.

He'd pick Kasich, hoping to pick up 5% of Ohio as a result. A Republican has no chance to win nationally if he can't carry Ohio. A Dem nominee might be able to win without Ohio but Republicans have an electoral college disadvantage.
Not necessarily, I've seen/heard speculation that some think NY and a few of the other Blue states may be in play because of all the Democrat voters that are supporting him at the present time.
