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.

I believe Trump was just being nice. Kind of like when they asked him if he would consider OPrah.
No he doesn't have to pick someone from Florida or Ohio.
I'm analyzing the data given if taken to a conclusion of a Trump nomination.
What I do find amazing is how two people such polar opposites as you and Vic can be going for the same candidate. Yet see two totally different Trumps.
You both agree Trump will make America great again. You both just have different ideas or impressions of how he is going to do it.

Actually, the Oprah thing is a hoot, but it was Trump himself who said that, years ago, when he was talking about politics but not running himself. He volunteered that he'd pick Oprah as his running mate, and said why she'd be great, how she'd energize people.
Do I think that now, all these years later, with Trump seriously running for office, he'll actually pick Oprah? No. I think he'll pick Rubio, for a great number of reasons, starting with the fact that other possibles - Jeb!, Fiorina, Kasich, Paul, Cruz - have all disqualified themselves by insulting the man. Rubio has steered clear of that.
I think he'll pick Rubio in the end, and that Rubio will not personally go after Trump, because he knows he is still in the running for VP.
But 'twas Trump himself who originally said Oprah as his VP. He said it with a gleam in his eye and a smile on this face. I'll bet if asked again today he'd say "Oprah's great! She'd be a great VP! A great communicator!" And win another week of news cycles with the buzz. Then Oprah would blush and walk a fine line of being coy and enjoying the publicity. She wouldn't come out eyeballs bulging and screaming at Trump. Nope. Because she's a master showman too.
Oprah would get a line into the leader's ear by being nice, and Trump would pick up 8% black support from Oprah's saying nice things about him.
It'll end up being Rubio unless Rubio is dumb and attacks Trump in a nasty way. But Rubio has always been smart and doesn't do that sort of thing. He only punches hard when punched, like when he knocked down Jeb! in the debate.
But what do I know? It could end up being Bill Belichek or Tom Brady, or anybody else.
