I tend to agree. Gingrich would work fine.
Lets face it, there are very few in D.C. that will even be considered. Gingrich would fit the bill.
Newt has a massive ego, so does Trump. Could those two work together as Pres and V Pres? I don’t know. But with energy management and the environment as major concerns in America, I suggest Sarah Palin would be an excellent choice for Trump’s first term. For his second term he could change the VP running mate. The contrast between Hillary and Sarah would remove many women’s votes from the Demonrat ticket.
