Newt will be 73 next month. I think a younger person should be picked.
73 years old now in 2016 can be compared to 63 or younger two decades ago.
A friend of mine spoke to a 93 year old local today. Still driving, still working the farm. Totally with it!
I’d take Newt over any other VP candidates any day of the week.
Have you ever listened to him speak, or read anything he wrote? Amazing, convincing, awesome! (As good, if not better than Cheney.)
Besides all that, he made Clinton triangulate. LOVE it!
Maybe you aren’t seasoned enough yet to appreciate that with age comes WISDOM.
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.
Well, that's two of us who figured that one out.
If Newt were 97, some FReepers would still think he'd be a good VP choice.
70’s the new 50’s
