After months of speculation, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has just confirmed he is being vetted to be Republican presidential candidate Donald Trumps vice president...
Hannity led with a brief discussion of a Drudge Report poll indicating the American people most wanted Gingrich to be selected as the vice president...
Hannity then directed a more pointed question at the former House speaker: Are you being vetted?
I think theyve been very clear all along that Im one of the four or five people that theyre vetting, Gingrich said.
When do you think that decision will be made?
My guess is that theyll do it either Thursday or Friday [before the GOP convention] so that it dominates the weekend news going into the convention.

While true that he has a bit of old baggage, that is not as important after the past administrations as formerly.
It might be the right time for him to get back in the game
Certainly he is among the most brilliant, well-versed, and experienced pols ever to set foot in Washington.
Most important of all: He might be just the guy with whom to counter arguments that The Donald doesn’t know his way around the political labyrinth of D.C.
#NeverNewt
'Cause I can't think of one.
Could do a lot worse, my short list of better would be Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin. Otherwise, go with the Newt. Who is Chillary’s running mate, Pocahoaxus?
I think you should all grow a pair. The men at least. Gingrich as former Speaker is a political heavyweight.
We will see.
In one form or another Newt Gingrich is going to be involved in our government.. - Donald J. Trump
Gingrich brought us NAFTA. Hes a globalist.
People should read Gingrichs preface to Tofflers Third Wave - FIRST edition - where he calls for the abolition of nations and the creation of a new civilization. He does this while invoking the revolutionary spirit of the founders.
Newt is indeed the best possible choice.
Newt has been in politics a long time and so has acquired a long record of both accomplishments (delivering on some of his Contract with America promises) and shortfallings (did he treat his wife well when she was terminally ill?)
He does know Congress and how it works.
He is a well-educated person concerning American history and political science.
He can debate quite well, too.
All in all, Newt would add a lot to the ticket and I would support Mr. Trump’s decision if he selects Newt.
IMHO.
worth what you paid for it, ha!
Don't tell me who you don't! Grow up!
...I think they've been very clear all along that I'm one of the four or five people that they're vetting...I'm not exactly vetting my pants with joy. But I'm voting for Donald Trump for President.
You make me laugh, because the VP is almost worthless no matter who it is. Doesn’t usually affect the vote and matters not one bit in office, unless the president passes away. In that case Gingrich is ready to govern.
We will all support whoever Trump chooses, but many of us are hoping for Newt.
We LOVE a TRUMP / NEWT team!
‘Its exactly BECAUSE were fighting for our lives that it should be someone good, not Newt.’
Pigs are flying; we agree on something.
Oh no....I Like Newtie, but he has had 3 wives.
#######################################################
Don’t take me wrong because I’m pro Trump as anybody here but he’s the main guy here and he’s had a few wives himself.
It’s OK for Trump but not Newt? I vote for Trump, no matter who he chooses to be his V.P.
He’s a really smart guy and can handle the democrats
But nobody really likes him
Chief of WH staff yes VP no
Hell, no ! Too old, too married, too RINO, too unpopular and caved to Clintoon on the budget in 1995. No sale.
It is a crime to molest a woman and lie under oath. Bubba...pick up the phone.
