I’ve been saying for months, Newt would be a PERFECT Chief of Staff in the Trump White House. He knows the history, the politics, the legislative mechanisms better than anyone. He knows not only where the men’s room key is, he knows where all the bodies are buried. He’s the ‘insider’ Trump is going to need when he assumes office. NO ONE could be better in that role.

OMG Edinva,you need to put out a shingle as a clairvoyant, you read my mind even though it is not fully caffeinated this morning! ;-) I couldn't have said it better myself...

Nope. Not the role for Newt, especially at this stage of his life, especially with a blunt old guy already topping the ticket.

He could head the transition team. He could head the VP search. He could even be the first WH chief of staff.

But he’s probably most effective reassuring and rousing the base (getting the Cruz on board) during the campaign, and being a trusted advisor during the Trump transition and early first term.

Doesn’t matter. Priebus said the vp would be selected at the convention.

I agree. I think I see a woman vp or another “minority.” I have no idea which woman. Trump already knows who he will pick.

Condi Rice?

No. Please review recent FR threads on the many reasons why not. Think Bush.

"Jackie Mason for Press Secretary"

That is funny, it would be a hoot.

However, 2 that would absolutely "beeotch slap" the tools in the press core would be Chris Christie or Laura Ingraham.

Oh grab the popcorn, either of them would be worth their weight in gold....

Yes, both the President and Vice President nominees will be annointed at the RNC Convention.

Priebus is struggling to keep his job and Trump this morning on TV is giving RP plenty of rope. Party of Trump now, whether they like it or not.

With Trump, several swing states come into play, so focusing on only one battleground state may not deliver enough. Trump is already strong in Florida, for example.

And who in Washington can be called an outsider? But Newt was a revolutionary in Washington, so he's both Washington-savvy and shares an affinity with Trump for budget-cutting and is fearless.

I think a Newt VP is certainly a near top of the list choice for Trump.

The 5rump and ginrichs have been friends for some time they even vacation together. But I do not see Newt as VP. Maybe a cabinet or important ambassador. ...

NO....

Bring on Governor Greg Abbott of Texas.

The Governor is a hard core patriot and would bring many Cruz supporters in the tent.

Trump/Abbott 2016

On TV this morning, DJT said that he wants a Veep with paved inroads into the political realm, meaning Congress.

Agreed. Gingrich has a wealth of baggage.

I’ve seen it many times. Again if someone’s past make nice positions were the litmus test Trump would have been gone shortly after Iowa amongst Conservatives yet now all of a sudden we are conservative purists after Trump is now the Candidate? Without Gingrich Republicans would still be on their decades streak of not holding Congress. Without Gingrich the budget would never been balanced and Clintons hand forced. Without Gingrich the torch of Regan would have been squashed but he continued to carry conservatism forward.

Again I say please

Let TRUMP be TRUMP.

I trust his judgement and will trust his VP pick.

FWIW - Age is overrated.

Trump proves numbers mean nothing, except for poll numbers.
His stamina is ageless.

And phenomenal.

I marvel when I think that Trump will 70 years old next month.

I am younger and don't have his energy.

Good morning nikos, nothing like the smell of victory wafting through the morning air and knowing that on the morning of November 9, 2016 we will begin to "Make America Great Again."

Thanks again for providing a wonderful forum where like minded folks can air their thoughts...........
