He was my congressman during his House Term. I have some very mixed feelings about him. I don’t want him in the line of succession but I also cannot ignore his ability, experience and knowledge of the House (and Senate) in dealing with scoundrels from both sides.
I think he’d be an excellent Chief of Staff or other administration position that isn’t a Constitutional line of succession.
Collectively, we as pissed off drive by Americans have an awfully big job in helping turn this country around. In helping to hog-tie and bind those bastards in the Congress to geld them and bring them to the will our founders intended. I think Newt knows those ropes very well and I think he’d be good at it.
The best idea for Gingrich is to put him somewhere he can advise without actually having any power of his own.
