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.
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....
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. ...
Oh for the grinding of teeth factor by Libs and the Neo-Con chattering glass needing to reach for the tranks would be this gent...
Sheriff David Clarke....
CC for AG
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.
His stamina is ageless.
I marvel when I think that Trump will 70 years old next month.
I am younger and don't have his energy.
PS —> so is NEWT
