Mike Pence won the 2012 Gubernatorial by a fairly close margin.
Has he lost in 2012, who would have been the likely 2012 running mate choice for Trump?
The final three were Gingrich, Christie, and Pence historically, with it leaking (rumoring?) that Trump's first choice was Christie before Kushner and Manafort talked him out of it. I can't see Manafort letting it be Gingrich either, although Carson (who was tasked with vetting VP prospects) was apparently supportive of Gingrich apparently. Jeff Sessions comes to mind as well.
