What part of that do you think is made up? It is public record that Jackie Battley Gingrich was Newt's high school geometry teacher. Newt told a reporter from Mother Jones that "I ultimately wound up at a point where suicide, or going insane, or divorce were the last three options."
Does that sound like the kind of person that we need as second to the man with the nuclear launch codes?
Suicide, insanity, or divorce, the mantra of a pathetic lost soul.
You hear him on a talk show or giving a prepared speech and think you know him.
Newt is a coward and has a neurotic desire to be loved by the people. He will cave to the Liberal Democrats at every confrontation.
Newt was a Southern transplant. Born in Pennsylvania, his dad was in the Army. Newt was an Army brat with his Stepdad stationed nearby, so he decided to live in Carrollton, GA to teach at West Georgia College. My wife graduated from Carrollton High School and my sister was enrolled at West GA when Newt was teaching there. Newt Gingrich is a pathetic cowardly fool. An educated idiot with pie-in-the-sky ideas but no courage to follow them through. After his self imposed exile, he left Georgia in shame to live outside of Washington where he could be close to the fleeting dream of the power he once had. I keep hearing him referred to a the Georgia Congressman from Georgia. Newt hasn't lived in Georgia for 16 years ever since he ran away from Congress.
Year-after-year, I drove past his Cobb County office at The Summit on Roswell Road, to and from work every day. I was there to meet Newt's Double Decker London Bus as it arrived at his rally in the parking lot of Williamson Brother's Bar-B-Q which is only a thousand yards from The Big Chicken. I attended Newt's rallies at the Joseph Wheeler High School Auditorium. I wore Newt t-shirts for the TV Cameras, put out yard signs, and helped him defeat Michael "Cookie Monster" Coles, David "Big Red" Worley and Ben "Cooter" Jones. I read two of his books, "Window of Opportunity" and "To Renew America" when he was still my Congressman, giving me hope that he might thwart Socialism. I gave him money, and put out yard signs. I even had a pleasant chat with his sweet ex-wife about his books at one rally. She was a really nice lady! She took the time to talk with me for quite a while on the sidelines at one of his Big Red Bus campaign stops. She described the circumstances of Newt writing the first book. A gracious lady, who at the time validated my confidence in him! How wrong I was about the lying spineless POS!
In his teens, he married a woman who mothered him. In his 30s, he wed a woman who was broken by him. And in his 60s, he partnered with a woman who accessorized him. Is this the best we could hope for as vice president, some combo of spoiled child, browbeating bully and smug trophy holder?I can't help believing that Newt is a sullen and moody person in private which isn't a good character trait for the loneliest job in the world.The first Mrs. Newt Gingrich was Jackie Battley, his high school geometry teacher from Columbus, Georgia. They married in 1962, when he had just turned 19 and she was 26. Jackie supported him financially through college and graduate school; a Georgia colleague once told Vanity Fair that "all the way through the Ph.D., he didn't work."
Another friend from that era described Jackie as a "nurturing, mothering kind of person"who "finished raising him."
"He was her little boy," said Kit Gingrich, Newt's actual mother, who struggled with bipolar disorder.
Even when he eventually prevailed at the ballot box, "It was a very, very bad period of my life," he later told Mother Jones: "I ultimately wound up at a point where suicide, or going insane, or divorce were the last three options." By 1980, Gingrich had made his choice.
"It came as a complete surprise," Jackie later told the Washington Post's Lois Romano. "He walked out in the spring." That September, Jackie, in the hospital for her third cancer surgery, had a visitor. Their daughters told her, "Daddy is downstairs." But when he came up, Jackie told the Post, "He wanted to discuss the terms of the divorce while I was recovering."
What Newt Gingrich's three wives tell us about the president he'd be
In every case you can list, Newt caved to pressure from Democrats and "teamed" with then in "compromise" from a neurotic need to be "loved and appreciated" by the public at large.
When attacked on the budget for being petty, he gave in instead of standing firm against the Democrats. He even gave up his government limousine, provided as SotH, to accusations by the Democrats that it went against his stated goals of Congressional reform; although the fact is that Newt used it as a traveling office and got more work done in his limousine than ten other politicians together.
Rather than ignoring attacks and standing against the Democrats and the MSM, he will continue to try to usurp their positions with the effect that Republicans are constantly pushed to the left. Rather than trying to implement "green conservatism", Newt should have been shouting from the mountains that the Environmental issue is a globally manufactured Socialist tool for the destruction of Free market Capitalism.
Rather than trying to solve the "health-care issue", he should have exposed it as a manufactured Democrat Socialist issue that must have no federal involvement. Rather than attempting to "transform government" he should have stopped the Socialist transformation that has occurred for the past one hundred years.
In addition to all of that, in the Federal Budget Crisis of '98, Congress lead by Speaker Newt Gingrich, caved in to President Bill Clinton, and sent him a revised budget instead of forcing him to shut the government down. In the case of all previous Budget Crises our Republican Presidents have given in to Congressional pressure.
Knowing all this, consider he gained notoriety and thereby gained his Speakership by forcing his Democrat predecessor, Speaker Jim Wright, from power for corruption in a suspicious book deal that might have been a payoff.
Gingrich has a pathological need to feel "loved" and will therefore meekly acquiesce in the face of any pressure. Gingrich started the trend of the GOPe Congress kowtowing to the Democrats to avoid criticism.
I tried for a few years to give him the benefit of the doubt, but there was one thing that continued to gall me. I really liked his sweet wife Marianne, but who can know what goes on within interpersonal relationships, so I forgave him his "tete a tete" with his current wife, Callista.
The thing that was so repulsive to me was his total disregard of Cobb County and North Georgia voters that kept him in Congress year after year. He could never do or say anything to overcome that affront for me.
Now as the years roll by, I continue to observe Newt Gingrich strive to appease and reconcile with Socialist Democrats in a defeatist position of conciliation. The only position a Conservative can have against the evil enemy at the gates is intransigence. Conciliation only gives tacit credence to Progressive Socialist mendacity. The media whore Newt of today has grown fat on Saul Alinsky's Salami Slices.
Newt, I loved you when you were my Congressman before 1998. You’ve wasted all the votes you’ve ever gotten from me. I’ll never be suckered by you again. Now, I would not waste a heimlich maneuver on you.
I am going to put you down as a maybe for Newt.
;^)

What part of the equation Newt is a Globalist do you fail to understand?
That means Newt believes in man made Global Warming. Do you believe CO2 is a poison and should be taxed to support the United Nations?
Newt is for open borders. Do you believe in lawlessness of the open border and bringing the entire world here and providing free education, medical, voting, housing and welfare curtosey of the U.S. tax payer?
Do you believe in command and control economies where we have economic treaties that royally screws the U.S. and rewards companies for leaving the U.S, or face taxes and regulation that will put them out of business?
That is what your Globalist Newt is for.
For the record Newt will not be picked. The Globalist are making a push for Newt just like they did with Bush for Reagan.
Finally, Newt brings a lot of baggage to the table. He is viewed, fair or not, as what is wrong with Washington and NOT the solution.
Hey, wise up—Newt may well be a good VP—he needs to be an attack dog for Trump, go to a lot of funerals, and help Trump get his agenda enacted—he could do well at that. He could really debate Warren. But, a younger man might be better? Who is out their?
The Obama/Clinton media, CNN & MSNBC is sinking themselves with each passing day. Their viewer numbers are horrible, to say the least. Fox News Channel....which is far from a “Trump” cheerleader, but, is basically fair & balanced, IMHO, is killing both CNN & MSNBC in viewer numbers. This will comtinue unabated.
I also predict that Fox News Channel will destroy CNN & MSNBC in both Democrat & Republican Convention viewership. Of course.....the viewwrship of the Republican Convention will be massive, while the the Democrat Cpnvention will have relatively low viewer ratings across the board, as the Democrat debates suffered!!! Stay tuned as CNN & MSNBC destroy themselves by hanging Obama & Clinton around their, not-too-bright necks!!!
Who do you want?
Newt on the other hand is still fully illuminated even when in Trump's shadow.
Trump is audacious, Newt is audacious.
I think the Trump/Newt appearance in Ohio was Trump's way of saying it's gonna be Newt. Anyone else would be boring...and Trump hates boring.
And as to the matter of their ages. These two men have more energy than most men had in their 20's and 30's.
Washington and the world will tremble at the idea of their administration...and with good reason.
I know only one man who isn't.
But...but...but...he's been married more than once and other stuff......
I guess the same folks who worry so much about others' sins consider it a plus that Hillary's only been married once and isn't divorced....
I’m not real enthused about Gingrich. His treatment of the
wife he dumped leaves a lot to be desired; except, of
course, I’m sure many lies have been spread by Democrat
operatives.
Personally I think Newt is a bad choice for VP, no doubt he has some major strengths, though.
I’m sorry but two brash spoken white old men vs two women is a dream for the communist Stalinist left and the wishy washy few % that decide these things. I’d love to see Alan West on the ticket, Newt could be used to pull strings in any number of other roles. Maybe they are just playing everyone right now.
Here we go again fellow freepers. I hope we don’t get all split up like we did with Trump/Cruz.

I hope not - I’d be all behind Trump regardless, I would just be a bit disappointed if he chose Newt.
Me too. The main problem I have with Newt, is that he was there while hillary was gathering everyone’s fbi files. Does she have one on him I wonder?
Thanks! A good read and the word needs to get out. I suspect those that so strongly support Newt are aware of how subversive he would be to Donald Trump's campaign.
