Donald Trump just told Fix Boss Chris Cillizza that he plans to pick his vice president in the next three to four days. "In my mind, I have someone that would be really good," Trump told Cillizza in an interview Monday. Anyway, back to Trump Veepstakes Intrigue. Who's he going to pick? With the caveat that this could change anytime -- and if you want up-to-the-minute updates, you should follow The Post's Robert Costa, who has been all over the Trump beat -- let's break down the bios and pros and cons of Trump's narrowing veep list. 
Here they are, loosely based in order of who reporters like Costa and our own hunches indicate he's most likely to pick: Mike Pence  Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) (Darron Cummings/AP) The basics: First-term governor of Indiana, in a tight reelection battle, former congressman Pro: Pence's social conservative creds could shore up Trump's reputation among evangelicals, who are wary of Trump Con: Remember the big debate last year about whether a pizza shop owner could refuse to serve a gay customer? Pence was in the middle of that when he signed the state's religious freedom bill into law, which LGBT advocates said sanctioned discrimination. Trump compatibility rating: In our opinion, low. If you have to imagine a political Twitter feed that was polar opposite of Trump's, it would look a lot like Pence's: 
Chris Christie  (Dan Worthington/The Washington Post) The basics: New Jersey's governor, failed 2016 presidential candidate Pro: He's been behind Trump -- literally -- since February, when Christie shocked the political world by becoming the first major member of the GOP establishment to get on Team Trump. From what we understand, loyalty goes far with Trump, and Costa reports they get along well. Con: Christie, who is term limited and will leave office in 2017, is fairly unpopular back home, so it's unclear what electoral advantage he'd bring to Trump's campaign -- whose path to the White House likely goes through the Rust Belt rather than the East Coast anyway.  (Philip Bump / The Washington Post) Trump compatibility rating: Christie could go toe-for-toe with Trump on colorful insults. Here's my fav from NJ.com: 
Newt Gingrich  Former House speaker Newt Gingrich (R) (Cliff Owen/AP) The basics: Former House speaker in the '90s, 2012 failed presidential candidate Pros: He seems like he really wants the job -- unlike several senators who took their names out of the running last week -- and he might be the most skilled on Trump's short list at explaining away some of the more controversial remarks. Plus, Gingrich's long resume could add some gravitas to the ticket, something Trump has said he's looking for. Cons: Gingrich's long resume means there's a lot for Democrats to pick at here.
