Newt Gingrich Makes Announcement That Many Have Been Awaiting
Western Journalism ^ | July 6, 2016 | Kevin Whitson

Posted on 07/06/2016 3:53:37 PM PDT by monkapotamus

After months of speculation, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has just confirmed he is being vetted to be Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s 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 they’ve been very clear all along that I’m one of the four or five people that they’re vetting,” Gingrich said.

“When do you think that decision will be made?

My guess is that they’ll do it either Thursday or Friday [before the GOP convention] so that it dominates the weekend news going into the convention.”

Gingrich was attacking Clinton for his affair all while he was having his own. I hate the duplicity and hypocrisy.

Newt and wife had been separated for YEARS before he and Calista started dating - that's a bit different than Clinton and his string of peccadillos (and not 'affairs' - just down and dirty sex) - and Monica in the Oval office...

What up-tight, judgemental, self-righteous JERKS - coming out of the woodwork again -

NEWS FLASH - the only perfect person ever to walk the earth is not available for the job.

Our country, our freedoms, our Constitution are hanging by a thread. This is the LAST CHANCE we have to save them.

GET THAT INTO YOUR SELF-RIGHTEOUS HEADS.

Unless, of course, you are "sleepers".

Remember - after the Bolshevik Revolution, it took 80 YEARS for the people to shake off Communism. And it took our FREE country to make that happen.

If we go down - where's the country that could ever save us? You want to condemn your kids, grandkids, and on, to totalitarianism - or Islam? (Islam is the grand scheme afoot - if you haven't noticed)

WakeTFU

I disagree, I think Christie would man handle anyone in a debate, but I don't want him as a veep.

Pros: Newt fought Clintigulas one and two, so is familiar with them.

Cons: Huge negatives, other than with a conservative audience, and even then......

Trump has had great instincts thus far; I’m trusting his judgment here. He knows how to pick good people, and knows how to deldgate.

He’s renouncing his citizenship and moving to Belize with Nancy Pelosi?

Christie would be ferocious in debate - but I think the NY/NJ ticket would alienate the civilized midwesterners...

I agree with that assessment....GOOD women CAN change a man...I do think that Melania has changed Trump from pro-choice to pro-life...or maybe it was his son Don Jr. who has 5 FIVE CHILDREN!!! FABULOUS!!!!!!

Yes, and lets not forget his sandy pose with the obamenfuerher.

Weak on 2A as well.

And, once again to agree with you, it would regionally over weigh the North East.

About most, it’s still a debated, contested argument. Gingrich, for his reasons, left the field - and the ground behind him. Best of luck to him regaining that ground with or without being a VP nominee, but it’s a hole Trump doesn’t have the luxury of standing in at this point in time.

Nope! Newt is or was part of the Establishment. Also he is too friendly with Piglosi.

I agree, Newt shouldn’t be his pick.

“...we’re fighting for our lives that it should be someone good, not Newt.”

And you need to add that that’s your opinion! The rest of us can take it for what it’s worth!

I’m not sure about the chemistry between Gingrich and Trump or the reasons Newt is in it for but he does add gravitas and their strengths and weaknesses clearly complement each other. If it did end up being someone else for VP no doubt it would be by mutual agreement.

Do I? You seem to be well aware that it's my opinion, and I think everyone else is too.
