Yes to everything you said, and will add: Newt is old news and I do not feel he can be trusted.
Trump needs a fresh face for his VP, whether it is a woman or a man, doesn’t matter. Just not an old, untrustworthy, — or carrying a lot of baggage.
I would also like someone a little younger and a proven conservative as his VP.... so they won’t pull a Lyndon B. Johnson on Trump.
