I would like for Newt to be in Trump’s administration too. I think there’s a better fit for him in some other position than VP. I’m just not feeling it, what with all the rules that are being broken by Mr. Trump. I trust DJT to create a stellar VP list that will knock our socks off if he chooses to release such a thing, and if not, it’s okay with me if he surprises us at the Convention with his pick.
I’m still favoring Peter G. Fitzgerald, former US Senator for the state of IL. He turned over the tables of the money changers in DC, eventually falling out of grace with his party, but served our country admirably in doing so. His wife is a fine woman that just happens to be from somewhere far south of the border, which couldn’t hurt, what with the dynamics of today. See: Nina Kersteins Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald was the youngest of five. “He was an unexpected caboose,” his wife, Nina, once told a supporters. “You can see the family portraits, Peter is in none of them.”
During a 1979 internship in Washington, he met his future wife, Carmen Nina Kerstiens (Smith, London School of Economics, Harvard Law) at a party.
Don’t be too put off by the Harvard Law connection.
