Newt Gingrich: I'd still serve in Trump's administration
CBS News / Face the Nation ^ | July 17, 2016 | Emily Schultheis

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich may not have been Donald Trump's choice as a running mate, but he said Sunday that he's not disappointed--and that he'd still be happy to serve in Trump's administration.

"I would certainly serve with the president, preferably in a position that he and I would work out," Gingrich said on CBS' "Face the Nation..."

"I think Pence is a great choice," Gingrich said...

Gingrich also explained why he recently referred to Trump as a "pirate..." "This is a guy who is going to be different -- if you want to break up the corrupt bureaucratic, incestuous system of Washington, you had better have somebody who has a very strong personality and who's very willing to get in fights," he said. "You're not going to get some nice pleasant corporate bureaucrat to come to this city and dramatically change it..."

Chief of Staff. He was born for that job at this time. At this time I would like to nominate R. Lee Ermey for Press Secretary.

I agree! Chief of Staff or State. For Defense I want a general or admiral that homobama kicked out for being intolerant of muzz slimes and homos.

President Trump Cabinet

Gov. Mike Pence as Vice President – selected 7/16/16

Department of State, (return INS.) - Newt Gingrich
Department of Justice - Rep. Steve King
Department of Treasury, (includes former Homeland Security - Customs) - Carl Icahn
Department of War, (change the name back.) Include former VA function - Gen. James Mattis
Department of Interior, (includes the legitimate functions only of former Dept. of Transportation, Dept. of Homeland Security - Border Patrol, and Energy Departments) -Gov. Sarah Palin
Department of Labor and Commerce - Herman Cain

This proposed model has the President directly managing seven subordinates which is optimal.

Department of Education - William J. Bennett in a Temporary position.
It will be ELIMINATED as proposed by The Donald, 9/23/15 at a Columbia, SC Town Hall with Sen. Tim Scott.
Department of Homeland Security - ELIMINATE
Department of Energy - ELIMINATE
Department of Health and Human Services - ELIMINATE
Department of Housing and Urban Development - ELIMINATE
Department of Veterans Affairs - ELIMINATE
Department of Agriculture - ELIMINATE
Department of Transportation - ELIMINATE

On Fox news Sunday, 10/18/15 Trump said he would cut funding for EPA and Dept. of Ed.

In non-cabinet level jobs

Gen. Peter Pace as National Security Adviser
LTC Ralph Peters as Director of National Intelligence (NDI)
Sheriff David Clarke should be FBI Director
Michelle Bachman as IRS Commissioner under Secretary Carl Icahn in Treasury
Admiral James A. Ace Lyons as Undersecretary of War - Navy Branch.
LTC Allen West as Undersecretary of War - Army Branch.
Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney as Undersecretary of War - Air Force Branch.
Ted Nugent as Undersecretary of Interior
Lynnette Diamond Hardaway and Rochelle Silk Richardson would be great as President Trumps Co-Press Secretaries.

Marsha Blackburn for Speaker of the House

I agree with Secretary of State, entirely. He would be perfect in this role. Absolutely perfect, IMHO.

Hey Newt, go make another Global Warming commercial with Pelosi. “Don’t trust Newt”.

Understand. He was my Congressman, BTW. I don’t want him in control of policy, but I wouldn’t mind him in an obedient control roll in execution of (voter desired) policy.

I would prefer John Bolton for SecState for these reasons: 1) He is very qualified and he will be a strong figure representing our country. 2)His appointment as Sec State would make every Progressive’s head explode, simultaneously.

Secretary of Whoop Ass. Position created especially for him.

Want to really ulcerate the brains of liberals?
Make him Press Secretary and consultant.
The press could not paint Newt or a Trump message into a corner.

Newt disappointed a lot of people when he turned to the Dark Side.

A job he can be fired from is preferable...

Rubio at State. He could deemphasize Europe and turn our attention to South America where there could still be hope after the Castros and Madruo. Independence for Puerto Rico to set off freedom movements worldwide and get the Brits out of the Falklands as per the Monroe Doctrine. Last, dump all the foreign criminals on uninhabited Caribbean islands. Let the sharks eat them if they try to swim away.

I like the way you think. Hope Trump’s people see this.
