Photos: Potential Donald Trump running mates

A satirical look at who Donald Trump may pick as vice president.

Oprah Winfrey is Donald Trump's running mate of choice. In June, he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos a Trump-Winfrey ticket would "win easily." And if Oprah is too busy running her empire to run for vice president, what about former UGA great Herschel Walker? A great running back might make for a great running mate.

The Donald might want to dip into the deep pool of Republican candidates for president. If so, why not Sen. Lindsey Graham? The South Carolinian would bring some foreign policy experience to the table and appeal to Southern voters. And hey, we know Trump has his phone number. And what about former presidential candidate John McCain? He's got experience in the race and a strong military background despite what you may have heard recently.

The Donald seems to have alienated some people with his recent comments that Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war, may not really be a "war hero." But can there be any doubt about the man who killed Osama bin Laden, former Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill? Like Trump, O'Neill has been accused of not being able to keep his mouth shut.

If one Donald is good, two Donalds must be even better. Donald Duck is something of a ham but would appeal to young voters and has strong support in two major states -- Florida and California. Another bonus? He's used to playing second fiddle to Mickey so he won't quack up as VP. And, uber-capitalist Scrooge McDuck would likely throw in a few million to get his nephew a job.

After recent comments about our friends south of the border, the Donald may be looking to tear down the fence he erected between his campaign and the largest minority in the U.S. If so, Miss Mexico Vianey Vazquez would certainly get some media attention. Vazquez is not an American, and therefore ineligible to be vice president, but we are confident Trump can work out a deal.

Donald Trump has described former TV host and Twitter combatant Rosie O'Donnell as "an average talent who is out of touch with reality" so she'd be perfect for Washington D.C.

There's never been a father-daughter ticket, but that could change if Trump decides he can't trust anyone else to "do almost nothing," which is actually part of the vice president's job description. The 33-year-old former model is already a VP at The Trump Organization, so going to a few funerals and sleeping through senate filibusters will be a snap.

The first winner of "The Apprentice" was Bill Rancic, who, after winning the reality show is now a Chicago real estate developer. If Rancic is ready to absorb even more Trump wisdom he'd be able to step right in if the Donald suddenly fell ill to foot-in-mouth disease.

When the Donald arrives at the White House, it may be a step down for America's first billionaire president. Who better to fix the place up than domestic diva (and former "Apprentice" flop) Martha Stewart?

A new generation of Americans -- the so-called "millennials" -- trust comedy news almost as much as the real thing. What better way for Trump to connect with these young voters than asking fellow faux conservative Stephen Colbert to join him in a race for the White House? Even if they run as independents they could guarantee Hillary Clinton a victory.
