Report: Gingrich Lobbying To Be Trump’s Running Mate
hotair.com ^ | May 23, 2016

Posted on 05/23/2016 2:18:41 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Actual quote from Ed Rollins about the fact that a Trump/Gingrich ticket would have six wives between them: “They certainly understand women.”

...

Gingrich has a reputation for insinuating himself into campaigns by firing off dozens of e-mails brimming with ideas that range from brilliant to insane. While it’s a quality that has irritated previous presidential candidates such as John McCain and Mitt Romney, sources say that Trump has come to value the former speaker’s opinions.

“They talk every day,” says a source familiar with the relationship, who claims that Gingrich e-mails Trump, campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and campaign manager Corey Lewandowski “countless times a day.” On Friday, the source says Gingrich sent five messages after lunch, musing on everything from Fox host Megyn Kelly’s interview with Trump to Trump’s recently announced list of potential Supreme Court nominees to ideas for targeting Bernie Sanders’s voters…

I agree with you. I do hope very much that Newt would have a significant and active role in any Trump administration, but I would rather see Trump grooming a young, tough, successor, man or woman. A veteran of one or more of the neocon’s Sand Wars would be ideal; one who could bring a veteran’s perspectives, like President Eisenhower, to the legitimate military needs of the nation contrasted with the tendency towards slush and creep.

If you want a fresh face, a Marine, combat veteran, entrepreneur, business man, Republican Conressman from California, and patriot who continues serving his country in the Marine reserves, then Duncan Hunter Jr. Would be my choice for Trump's VP

Kissinger is not a Natural Born Citizen, so can’t be in the running.

“someone who can walk into the WH in eight years and advance what Trump started by dismantling 80% of the mostly unconstitutional $4 trillion central government.’

Hopefully after 8 years Trump will have done that.

I think I’d pass on Newt.

At first I thought it might not be bad, but some people on here talked sense into me, reminded me of a bunch of stuff in regards to his past and quite frankly a lot that I didn’t know about Newt.

A chief of staff sounds more to his niche.

Don’t see it. Not sure Trump has that vision. He’s for America and hates political correctness. I think he will help a lot but, at least at this point, he, like many, doesn’t seem to get that the federal government IS the problem. His VP DOES need to get that.

I know who Newt is, and his history quite well thank you.

NO Newt.

Chief of Staff?

OK.

I’d love to see Newt in Trump’s administration, or in the Supreme Court. He’s a brilliant man.

We can respect Newt without wanting him as Trump’s VP.

The people who care about his (perceived) weakness with women, will likely vote for the vagina next fall regardless, they will not be impressed with whichever female he picks.

Those on the right, should he pick a female because of what is between her legs rather that between her ears, will not be impressed with it either.

His best bet is to pick someone that is best for the job, their sex being of no consideration.

I like him a lot, but no one outside of CA knows who he is.

Thx for the link. I will read his bio.

Hunter would be a great.... Maybe the perfect VP choice.

Newt to chief WH advisor?

There are many of us who are hoping he picks Newt for VP. There might even be some polling on it and Newt continues to be a favorite VP choice.

The people who would be most afraid of Newt as VP are the Dems and Liberal Media. They are used to framing all the narratives, debates and interviews.

A Trump/Newt ticket becomes a disruption ticket in all the right ways for We the People. Finally 2 people are are not afraid of the lying Liberal Media.

Guaranteed, Libs are hoping for anyone but Newt as VP.

Number One Observatory Circle, official home of the Vice President of the United States, hopefully home of future Vice President Newt Gingrich in 2017.

The Library at Number One Observatory Circle. Vice President Dick Cheney and Lynne Cheney entertain his then Chief of Staff for the Vice President Lewis "Scooter" Libby (left) and his wife Harriet Grant (second on right) and former Vice President Dan Quayle (right) and his wife Marilyn Quayle (second on left) in the first floor library at the Naval Observatory Dec. 4, 2001.

Both Dick Cheney and Dan Quayle have endorsed Trump. Newt has endorsed Trump and would be an outstanding VP pick.

Understood. Just disagree, but understand that you respect him.
