I like Newt but he’s not the right guy for Trump’s VP. I explain why below.

The FIRST issue in Trump choosing his VP isn’t WHO but WHAT.

WHAT is the single most important criteria for Trump’s VP? Someone who can take over the Presidency in eight years to continue the job of reinstating political freedom and the Constitution as the Rule of law in America.

Trump’s VP must be a person who in eights years, is ready, willing, and able to lead the effort to dismantle the unconstitutional 80% of the $4 trillion central government, leaving it the size of about $800 billion. Get rid of most of the unconstitutional cabinet bureaucracies. Nuke the utterly unconstitutional Administrative State from which all these unilateral, tyrannical, unconstitutional, and obnoxious executive laws (”regulations”) come from. Send hundreds of thousands of government workers, bureaucratic heads, and officials home packing. Sad day for them, but a great day for America and our Free Constitutional Republic.

Otherwise, this “Trump Movement” will be merely a speed bump on the Road to Serfdom as Hayek put it and as the Reagan Revolution turned out to be because of the short-sighted and fatal choice of Bush as VP. Trump CANNOT make the same mistake.

WHO it is should be IMO, consistent with the anti-establishment push of this movement. Trump should pick an “unknown” - a talented, wise, and wealthy non-politician who loves America, probably a good businessman, who has a fire in his belly to do away with political correctness and tyranny and to put the central government into its constitutional cage. He’ll have eight years to figure out what he needs to know about the job. Also, a wealthy person, like Washington, Reagan, and Trump, would be less tempted to cash in on political expediency because he is already wealthy. IMO politicians like Newt and Sessions are too old among other things to do what needs to be done eight years from now.

Nope. Trump needs someone as Veep who can navigate for him through the legislative process as he implements his agendae, and who lends deep political gravitas to his A Team. Also someone who could step in as Prez if the need arises.

Eric or Donald Jr. will be ready to run in 8 years. Maybe even Ivanka...

And after 8 years of Donald at the helm, the country will be begging for another Trump in the White Castle.
