The media still cant figure out why Newt Gingrich is at the very top of Donald Trumps VP list. A recent Slate article starts this way: Donald Trump selecting Newt Gingrich as his running mate would be insane. The writer asserts Gingrich would be the perfect pick for Trump, implying the GOP front-runner is crazy as well. Call Donald Trump a lot of things; crazy is not one of them. Controversial, audacious, sometimes brash and extreme all yes. But the primaries have showed Trump is a brilliant communicator and master tactician. Crazy like a fox, perhaps. Recently, I had lunch with a group of GOP billionaires and power brokers. The group had various feelings about Trump, pro and con. But all were dazzled by his ability to win a hotly contested Republican primary all by himself, as one of the attendees put it. (Billionaires hate spending money; thats how they become rich. So they admire Trump for his no-frills approach.) Trump doesnt think like a politician and that's been his greatest strength with the public. When a normal presidential candidate looks at picking a vice presidential running mate, the candidate usually weighs what a selection brings to the ticket. Does the prospect carry a state? Would a woman, black or Hispanic help with one of those groups? Those are the questions, and others, asked by the candidates and their closest advisers. Trump wouldnt ask those questions. He believes he is going to win this election himself. He will win women, blacks, and Hispanics by what he says and does.

Very small? Cruz won many states.
This quote from the author is pure insanity. Sure Trump will leave Obama's people in place for a year or more, lol.
Newt would be an excellent VP.
2nd in line.
Won’t take any crap off the dimrat media.
Doesn’t back down and knows how DC works.
And he would send the dimrats and fellow libtards into mass hysteria. Would be fun to watch.
One of my friends who has three ex-wives told me that he compared marrying women was a lot like having sex - he was going to keep doing it until he got it right. LOL
The team of “Diamond” and “Silk” would have a better chance and they would do a better job.
Trump / “Diamond” and “Silk” - 2016
Trump is steamrolling Hillary in part because of all her baggage.
Newt, much as we may like him, has a whole lotta baggage from around the same time that she can use to her benefit.
Bad choice. “Contract on America” anyone? (Yeah that stupid rhetoric was BS, but it worked.)
No!
No yesterdaymen.
I don't believe that to be correct.
The faction you're referring to, I believe, is the Orthodox Conservative and Wall Street faction.
That faction was soundly beat due to corruption, "Free Trade", open borders and endless foreign "adventure" with no strategic US interest at stake. Not to mention their complete abandonment of the Rule of Law.
Or, were you referring to a Cult of Personality surrounding Ted Cruz?
lol
Cruz would be a very BIG mistake
since he is a LIAR, a globalist, an ObamaTRADE
supporter, and a vote stealer.
On the other hand, a ticket with Cruz
would get all the rats dressed up as judges
who sleep with Cruz and his Bang of Eight Hundred.
“I would prefer Patraeus.”
He would be WORTHLESS!
There’s a right-wing media?
Chris Ruddy is a best friend of Bill Clinton who gave a HUGE amount of money to the Clinton Crime Foundation.
“I think the discourse between Trump and Cruz eliminates any possibility of that.”
Thank Good The Lord for that! sCruze is just a disgraceful human being! If there were a way to take his “unerarned citizenship” away from him, and deport him, I’d be all for it! I/m just thankful that he will never be president!
“Can anyone imagine what it would be like if Newt debated Elizabeth Warren? That debate would have the same ratings as the Super Bowl.
And Newt would leave the debate hall with hier mirkin to nail up on his office wall!
“Folks, if you dont know why Newt isnt a good idea, please leave this issue to others.”
Thanks DO!
I believe Ruddy is also a friend of Trump’s.
