Really interesting stuff from National Review's Eliana Johnson, whose latest campaign dispatch sheds light on just how close Newt Gingrich has become with the presumptive Republican nominee -- and how hard the former House Speaker is said to be lobbying behind the scenes for a spot on the ticket. Are you ready for Trump/Gingrich 2016, America?
Gingrich has, in effect, launched his own campaign to secure the nomination. “I think Newt is lobbying to be the vice president, and I think their people are paying a lot of attention to him,” says Ed Rollins, a Republican operative and former Gingrich staffer now working for a super PAC supporting Trump’s candidacy.*snip*
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.”...Gingrich’s influence within Trump World is widespread. Inside Trump’s newly established campaign offices in Washington, D.C., his fingerprints are everywhere. “Right from the minute I joined we were told that Newt will have his hand in every major policy effort,” says one Trump aide. “So one of the things I do when I’m researching or writing anything, in addition to looking at what Trump has said about anything, I look at what Newt has said.”

Please refresh my memory, why was she fired from her job? What was the accusation?
But I digress, do you have any other reason why you hate Gingrich?
``The program gives no evidence of balance or objectivity. The Nazi point of view, however unpopular, is still a point of view and is not presented, nor is that of the Ku Klux Klan.:
So what would your reaction be if her course substituted ISLAM for NAZI's and KKK's?............
I suspect you would have a different point of view............
“But I digress, do you have any other reason why you hate Gingrich?”
Are you trying to act stupid or is that just your normal state? But I digress, when did you renounce beating your wife?
Here you go, dummy- next time your lazy ass can try google:

And you have a credible legal opinion for your Rubio eligibility claim, Mr. Lofo?
Actually that article does nothing to validate her curriculum that attempts to validate the motivations of both the Nazi's and the KKK..........
Like I said before, would you approve of her attempting to validate the motivations of Islam in their attacks on our civilization?
So FOAH............
You’ve made it clear that reading articles is above your pay grade. Or maybe it’s that understanding what is written in them is too difficult for you. Either way don’t ask for more articles since you can’t handle them whatever your problem is.
So now that we’ve dealt with the bogus issue of Christina Jeffrey, what else do you have against Newt Gingrich?
My problem is your ignorance of Newt Gingrich, so prove me wrong..............
Let me suffice to say, “Newt would not win him ONE EXTRA VOTE,” but he might lose him several.
NOMINEE TRUMP can and will find a much more suitable VP.
Senator Sessions is totally trustworthy and just as knowledgeable.
Newt would be great ... he knows how the system works, knows the players AND ROMNEY hates him...
I see Newt as more of his “first 100 days” big-ideas man who could be a superb first-term chief of staff.
Something like James Baker in Reagan’s first term.
Oh, very YES!
Positives OVERWHELM negatives! (Much like Trumpster).
Newt would make a fantastic VP.
(You prefer maybe Mitt, Chris, Jeb, Little Marko near the White House?)
National Review? Aren't they all #NeverTrumpers, holding out for a miracle, like Japanese troops on bypassed Pacific islands after the end of WW2? How would the National Review have any better idea of what Trump is thinking than, say, a random homeless person living in a cardboard box?
I wouldn't say I'm voting for Trump, but I'd crawl over burning coals to vote for the candidate most likely to beat Hillary.
You're the moron who doesn't understand what's oh SO damned wrong with wanting Newtie for VEEP ! There is 100% EVERYTHING wrong about having Newtie for the VEEP! For starters, he's been out of it for well over a decade, is not only a GLOBALIST, but a FUTURIST, believes in all kinds of off the wall idiocies, helped push through NAFTA, which Trump HATES, and so many other things it would take me at least 3/4 of an hour just to just post the most salient problems with him, and I'm not going to bother.
Before you post again, on this topic, I suggest that you do an in depth study of Newt's UNVARNISHED past and present history.
True, on all counts. LOL
Oh yes they do!
EXACTLY SO !
You may like the Pauls; the vast majority of Americans do NOT and Trump doesn’t need him for anything; least of all his state!
This isn't 1994.....it's 2016 and Trump is the man with the vision and doesn't need Newtie on the ticket.
And obviously, yes, YOU have forgotten a very great deal.
Your projection complex is in a terminal state...seek help.
