Not only because he could continue to do what he does best (take the media and other liberals down a peg) but also because he should NOT be president because he will fold when the chips are down.
When he was in the House, especially as Speaker, he was repeatedly rolled by Dems, particularly Clinton. I think it's because Clinton had his FBI file and his serial adultery was not widely known, but it also seems to be a character weakness. He was my Congressman and even locally he could be rolled..
If he's VP it won't matter.
My other concern is Newt’s tendency to get ahead of himself and start freelancing in a way that might undermind the administration.
He’d have to be very clear, very disciplined, and very honorable about the fact that President Cain was his boss and, in the end, made the decisions.
I don’t think Cain would have any problem whatsoever rapping Newt’s knuckles if need be, but why hire trouble. Get everything on the table ahead of time.
