I keep telling all of you. NO NEWT.
I think Trump was sending a signal to “Newt for VP” proponents when he said that Newt would have some position in his Administration, whatever that position might be. Trump was telling them Newt WASN’T going to be VP, but WOULD have a good position (probably as a Presidential Advisor).
I think Trump instinctively knows Newt isn’t the right man for VP for a myriad of reasons, age, too liberal on certain issues, too flighty, too much wanting leftist approval (although less so than when he was younger). Trump himself knows he needs a stable, practical partner as a VP, as Trump himself is prone to flights of fancy and like Newt is chock full of ideas.
It’s what I love about Trump, but I want a steady conservative hand on the till as his VP partner, so that they will complement each other and thus be really good partners in accomplishing so many of Trump’s mandates, like building the Wall, getting rid of Obamacare and replacing it with something good, keeping terrorists and illegal immigrants out of our country, etc. Newt as an Advisor, but not as VP.
