First off, I want to apologize. Ever since NRO actively dumped Trump, I dumped them. I haven't been on their page since, when November? So, I took a look at their article this AM, and found this one.

I for one would love to see Newt somewhere. He's a free and creative thinker about our country and the planet. He has big ideas. Always has. KNows government and how to get things done.

Any one in the VP slot would be a light weight in comparison, but then again, he doesn't need to be a VP to be part of the Trump team.

‘Gingrich would add steroids to the [Trump] revolution brand message, yet still bring a wealth of D.C. knowledge and experience.’ — Mark McKinnon

A potential Trump-Gingrich vs. the Clinton Machine matchup has all the makings of an epic battle.

Gingrich is a bad idea.

National Review made their bed. Now they can sleep in it.

I have always been an admirer of Newt. He will play a role in the Trump Administration.

Gingrich would be great working in the administration, but he will not add to the vote total, probably make winning more difficult. It may be the grin that turns some folks off.

Ginrich like Cruz wanted to debate Clinton & Obama & Trump for 100 hours.

Gingrich was my congressman his entire term in the House. Frankly, I am not in favor of his taking an active roll in any national politics.

Newt has been my first choice for VP. At the same time, he might better be an advisor...quietly behind the scene....making sure that things get done.

When discussing this topic, I think y'all need to consider Newt's age.

Newt will be 73 years old next January.

If Trump stays in office for 8 years, Newt will be 81 when he can assume the corner office.

If Newt wins a second term, he will be 90 when he retires.

I like the idea of Newt in there, some people say he is too old though. What a battle it would be, Newt vs. Clinton again!

I also like Scott Walker, he has done great things for the schools, though that might hurt Trump with unions.

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.

This is true and Trump has made it clear he intends to call on the Gingrich-type of advisers to assist in the Trump Administration.

Since South Carolina voters in the Republican Presidential Primaries in 2012 and 2016 picked my preferred candidates, Gingrich and Trump, I feel okay with a Trump/Gingrich ticket but am not enthused about it. Newt carries unneeded baggage (Pelosi and Newt on a bench, etc.) and would be able to serve the Nation and Trump better in another capacity.

Gingrich is a good person to have on the team, but not as VP.

The election will be very close. The VP has to be able to deliver a battleground state or score with a complementary demographic. Gingrich does neither of those.

That also eliminates Sessions, Hunter, Cruz.

GINGRICH WOULD BE AWESOME!

He talks in common sense terms that everyone can understand but at a totally professional level

and HE BALANCED THE BUDGET

Because we need an anthropomorphic global warming shill?
Is he bringing Nancy Pelosi with him again?

The idea is crazier than a Patsy Cline record with a scratch.
