“Certainly not old-man-fat-man Newt.”
So we should pick people on how photogenic they are? How much they weigh and how old they are?
Hmm. Better idea. How about picking them on how good they’d be at the job?
Trump is 70 years old. Newt is 73. That in itself disqualifies him from being the VP choice.
Trump is already up there. He needs someone younger with him, younger but with great government experience to mollify those who worry about what happens if something happens to Trump. It doesn’t take a genius to see that.
And Trump is a media (and increasingly a political) genius. He probably saw it in the first 15 seconds he considered it.
I’m sure he likes Newt. What’s not to like? Always the smartest man in the room.
But his time for the Presidential Stage has passed and, frankly, he blew it in 2012. He should have been able to beat Putz Romney, and he couldn’t pull it off.
