David Lane is the founder of the
American Renewal Project, which seeks to have 1,000 pastors run for public office in 2016-2018.
I've met him and seen him in action. If he's okay with Newt Gingrich, so am I.

Chief of Staff, not VP. All the upside, none of the downside (age, marital history).

That would be interesting, consider he has said Trump’said opponent’s husband makes him melt.

None of the people being announced as possible VP’s will be Trump’s choice. He’s letting the press have their typical dog and pony show in speculating who his pick is.

Well now we know who the establishment wants Trump to pick.
Time magazine used to be owned by the Rockefellers. Not sure anymore who owns it.

All the upside Not quite. For one, he wouldn't be the one crushing Hillary's VP in nationally-televised debates.
none of the downside (age, marital history).
Anyone who can't accept Newt's history probably can't stomach The Donald's either.

Chief of Staff, not VP. Newt would make a horrible Chief of Staff (CoS). CoF is a workaholic, make the train run on time position. Newt is not a play by the rules workaholic. Newt is an out of the box idea man, some of his ideas are genius, and some of his ideas are moronic. Newt would make an excellent VP to Trump, he knows DC inside and out and as a former speaker of the House he knows how to get Trump agenda thru congress. Trump might not pick Newt, but he could not do much better than Newt as VP.

Not Gingrich... he’s a “target rich” environment. Trump needs a minority conservative like Milwaukee sheriff David Clarke, Allen West... someone like that. Who can speak to the Democrat failure with minorities.
To: newgeezer
As much as I want Newt its likely going to be Pence.

This is cracking me up. I mean, I like Newt and everything ... especially his hairdo ... but he was a rising politician with a great future when I was a svelte single girl. Since I’m about to be 50, that means Newt is way, way in the past.

Newt could be the Pied Piper of conservatism. Cruz would be better as he awaits a SCOTUS appointment in Trumps 2nd term. Undoable.

Good Lord in Heaven protect America from Mewt as VP.
Doesn’t matter who Trump likes. Who makes Trump more electable. Get the Hispanic vote, get the election.
How get Hispanic vote? Greg Abbott and his proud to be a Mexican American wife?????

While the old ticket balancing is generally obsolete, a bit of contrast between the president and VP in personal style is usually a good thing.
Oddly, as a Catholic I accept the possibility that Gingrich may not have been in a validly sacramental marriage before Callista (subject for another thread). He did go through the process, at least upon his conversion. Donald's I am not so sure about, though his faith treats the notion of deivorce quite differently. Six marriages between two men certainly isn't a plus, even though I have no grievance against Melania.
For one, he wouldn't be the one crushing Hillary's VP in nationally-televised debates.
Gingrich has the occasional flame-outs in debates, which cost him (and us) dearly in 2012.
