West would be a good VP but not a good candidate. He was defeated in his reelection attempt to the House. If you can’t even win a Congressional race you’re not going to be a plus on the ticket.
Newt is still leading in the polls.
Another good thing about Newt, he forced Clinton to balance several budgets, and end welfare as a way of life.
Also, he knows everything negative about the Clintons.
But for political rookie Trump Newt knows every parliamentary trick in the book to game a bill thru congress.
Newt is an expert on entitlements, which are most of the budget, if you can’t cut them you never get the deficit down.
