GOP official: Newt Gingrich has 1 in 3 chance of being Donald Trump’s running mate
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | June 29, 2016 | Greg Bluestein

Posted on 06/30/2016 2:55:36 AM PDT by monkapotamus

Newt Gingrich is saying all the right things to boost his profile as a potential Donald Trump running mate. He’s been advising the billionaire in private, praising him in public and attacking Hillary Clinton at every turn, fanning the flames for the likelihood that he’s auditioning for the No. 2 gig...

“There are two big assets that Newt would bring to bear: He’s got a track record of working with Congress,” said Evans..

He’s so smart about the system. But he had that nasty tendency to turn on people. He’s already done it to Trump, though, so he’s out

With Newt that would make 6 marriages between them. Newt now begins every other sentence with Calista and I. Weird

I supported Newt as the only remaining Conservative alternative to Romney, only to find he wasn’t so Conservative either. No thanks.

I’ve heard several names mentioned. Could it be the Trump campaign floating trial balloons?

I can’t judge people in this capacity by the number of marriages. Some people have a bad record then end up with a great marriage. So forget it

I do know that newt will just come out and say something against the cause now and again. It’s just wing nutty. Like being on the sofa with peloton Just out there

Newt is a Globalist. It will not happen.

My bet is that it Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama.

Outstanding pick. I would be good with Governor Greg Abbott of Texas too.

BINGO, and would just look like a second put out to pasture fool. Need a middle aged, good looking, CONSERVATIVE.

Would like to see Lt. Col West or Alabama’s Chief Justice Roy Moore. To bad the Hammer is not viable, would be way better than sold out fat Newt. Newt is poison to CONSERVATIVES and most of us know it.

Let’s throw Chief Justice Roy Moore out there as an example of the type moral Conservative justices we could expect. Or Lt. Col. Allen West, who at the least should be Sec of State or Defense. Need guys with spines and gonads. Mia Love looks nice, but her caving on the Confederate Flag is against her. Besides lack of experience.

Sure would be a better VP than Old FAT SELL OUT NEWT.

He will probably be Trump’s foreign policy adviser. Chris Cristie will probably be attorney general. I think VP is Rick Scott, Ted Cruz or Jeff Sessions. Trump never mentions Cruz anymore at his events. Shortly after he secured the nomination he mentioned Cruz, and the crowd went into the “Lyin Ted” mode, and Trump said not to call him that anymore.

Make Newt an adviser. VP is a political position that needs to expand the demographic appeal of the ticket.

Give me a private sector female dynamo.
