Newt Gingrich
Just read in my paper that Newt will accept the VP slot if it is offered to him by Trump. There is a name nobody came up with I think. Trump says he wants an insider for VP. I can't think of anyone more inside Washington and into politics than Newt. He is a brilliant man who would help Trump learn how the system operates. Newt for VP, I like it.

Was this speculation about Gingrich or self promotion by Gingrich?Newt has more baggage than Delta Airlines but there is no doubt he knows the ins & outs of D.C. as well as anybody.

Conventional wisdom suggests selection of a younger person on the bottom of the ticket. Newt is better suited inside the inner sanctum, that is if Trump wants him at all.

I'd hate to see it. Newt IS brilliant, as noted, but is a globalist. I don't see how this fits with Trump's Nationalistic agenda.

Is anybody else in here concerned that if Trump picks an establishment insider, they'll try to assassinate the Donald like they did JFK? Then it would be back to corruption-as-usual.

I like Newt a lot and he's been in Trump's camp from almost the start, but I don't see the political upside. His reputation in mainstream America is damaged by the years of left wing attacks on him. That's what the left does. If someone bright and strong comes along that might actually be able to change things (as Newt did when Clinton was president), they destroy him.

Eye of Newt, whose hubris is second only to his trolling for new wives, is a perfect selection by Drumpf- a previously humiliated,has been King wannabe.
Although, he was in my Dead Pool... as Dead!

You're right especially when you compare that to the warm and fuzzy feelings the right has ALWAYS shown to the Clintons,Jimmy Carter,etc.

An old Canadian Con Prime Minister and good buddy of the Gipper once said about a trougher opponent:
"There's no whore like an old whore." (One of his best lines! )
Eye of Newt just salivates at the sound of power. A failed, demagogic, hubris filled, zealot, with a cause.
Now, an old one.
