Donald Trump should make former House Speaker Newt Gingrich his running mate, according a survey of Drudge Report readers on the news aggregator’s website.
There are six options on Drudge’s “Who Should Be Trump’s VP” poll, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, Gingrich, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions.
As of Tuesday afternoon, more than 225,000 votes had been counted and Gingrich was in the lead with about 40 percent...
Trump is a known reader of the Drudge Report and regularly mentions the site’s polls, boasting of winning them after Republican primary debates.
As The Daily Caller reported in a recent analysis of potential running mates, Gingrich seems to be openly campaigning for the job, routinely speaking positively of Trump on cable news. He has experience running for the White House and matches Trump’s desired trait of a running mate who knows how to get legislation passed. He is reportedly planning to campaign with Trump this week...

NO!!!!!
VP needs to be younger so he/she can carry on with the next elections.
Try again people
Trump knows what he is doing. I trust him to make the best choice. These polls are meaningless.
If Trump wants to be the anti establishment candidate he should not choose a VP who has been in Washington since dirt was new.
Works for me. So mote it be.
NO!!!!!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Correct. No white guys from states we already have locked up or states we will certainly lose. And no white guys not from a state (Newt).
No Gingrich.
No Sessions.
No Hunter.
No Abbott.
No Cruz.
No Demint.
The VP candidate must help deliver fresh EV’s. That is unequivocally, absolutely non-negotiable.
We must win this election.
Sometimes I love the way Newt blasts the left, but he’s so erratic.
Lately when I see him on Hannity, he has this stupid smile on his face, before he’s even asked a question. Sometimes when he’s asked something, he has this condescending laugh or smirk. Gets on my nerves. I think he thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room, and that might be a clash with Trump in the driver’s seat.
Newt is a brilliant guy. But it would be like Palin picking McCain.
I like Newt, but he’s like yesterdays newspaper. Who wants yesterdays paper? Nobody in the world.
So, who do you think?
Michelle Bachmann?
Alan West?
Seems like pandering, to chose a woman or African-American, just because of that.
Enough with the white guy crap. We have to play their game now? They say it can’t be white guy and we have to say “ok”? They tell us to jump and we have to ask how high?
Newt is a has-been with baggage and he’s OLD. Just say “no,” Mr. Trump.
That retired General, can’t remember name - Flynn, IIRC.
I think he thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room, and that might be a clash with Trump in the driver’s seat.
Like Newt....but Trump is 5 steps ahead of him.... easily!!!!!
Trump has made way too much progress destroying PC and pandering to regress now. I expect some Freepers to start suggesting Trump pull a Jenner soon because he can’t win as a white guy.
NEWT GINGRICH 40.48% (127,828 votes)
JONI ERNST 31.07% (98,109 votes)
JEFF SESSIONS 14.23% (44,923 votes)
MIKE PENCE 7.12% (22,487 votes)
CHRIS CHRISTIE 5.55% (17,530 votes)
BOB CORKER 1.55% (4,905 votes)
I never said it couldn’t be a white guy.
I guess I misread your “no white guy or we will certainly lose” post.
