His series of Monday morning tweets relating to his vice presidential short list also hinted that Sen. Tom Cotton from Arkansas was among the choices. "Senator Tom Cotton was great on Meet the Press yesterday. Despite a totally one-sided interview by Chuck Todd, the end result was solid!"

Two other names believed on Trump's short list are New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. There were no mention of these two in Trump's 4th of July tweets. With the GOP nominating convention convening in less than two weeks, a vice presidential announcement could be days away.
"The only people who are not interested in being the V.P. pick are the people who have not been asked!"
