I could actually see him asking Perry and I think they’d make a good team, although the only negative would probably be that they are both white males from Southern/Southwestern states and it seems to be all the rage now to require “diversity” on a ticket.
The only diversity I could see, however, would be Gingrich picking somebody like Susana Martinez or maybe Rubio (although Rubio has turned out to be more of a Romney person), rather than the geographical diversity of someone from a northeast state, because frankly I can’t think of a single serious conservative from up there. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong...maybe I’m just being biased!
“.....it seems to be all the rage now to require “diversity” on a ticket.”
Screw the “diversity” ticket.
I don't know if the regional thing will be as important -- gracious! look at Clinton-Gore (also both white males from the South -- though from the opposite political spectrum).
The issue of the Hispanic vote is considerable but mostly their vote will be based on the programs and platform Newt advances.
Dennis Michael Lynch on Fox and Friends this morning who has put together (got shot filming "They Coming to America") a documentary that proves the Adminstration is lying about the border. He said you would not believe the danger there -- who is getting across (Middle Easterners), the crime, etc. (as Perry worked so hard to get out -- "Seal the border, kill off the Cartels and no amnesty.")
***Susana Martinez or maybe Rubio***
Not Presidential material - Susana= simply pandering and Rubio = just a pretty face. Why not J.C.Watts? He is a great American - but still not experienced for a run in 2020.
Perry would be better and with Newt’s mentoring would be a superior candidate in 2020.
If Newt wants the best, he had better pick West.
