Word on the street is that former Georgia congressman and House Speaker Newt Gingrich will be joining presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump at an Ohio rally tomorrow, making an appearance that could very well serve as an audition to be the billionaire’s running mate.
Several reporters tweeted the news on Tuesday afternoon that Gingrich will be a special guest at Trump’s Cincinnati rally on Wednesday evening.
We’ve known for a while that Gingrich is a top contender for Trump’s VP, but the two have not appeared together since that news broke. Tim Alberta over at the conservative National Review reports that the appearance is a “trial balloon” to gauge how well people receive the pair...

Yes but what about the sheriff’s badge?
Paul Ryan is upset about it.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s?
Newt?
The arch enemy of the DemonRats that teamed up with Nazi Peloser to roam the world spreading the fraud of AGW?
Good way to lose, Donald.
Better to choose another true maverick that bridges the gap between the Republicans and Bernie.
Rand Paul would probably be a much better pick.
“...the conservative National Review...”
The WHAT????????????
I always liked newt he was my candidate in 2012
If Trump picks Newt as VP he’s basically guaranteeing Deep State assassination attempts. I do not think Trump is that naive or reckless.
Kiss near certain victory GOOD BYE.
He is a smooth talker who brings nothing except yesterday.
I want Newt or Gulianni and NO ONE else. We need Tough and swift!!
I think he meant the “establishment” National Review....
Same here.
Why , the ballots have already been counted and it’s 99% for Hillary
I like Newt but I’m not sure how he brings more votes? I’d like to see Christie or Walker for the youth/blue state factor.
And passion with someone who has beaten the Clintons in the past.
Christie!!???
Seriously!!!
Perfect way for Trump to blow it.
The one thing about Newt, he will destroy anyone of the Dems who faces him in the VP debate.
I didn't see the lol or sarc tag. That's a joke..right?
“I like Newt but I’m not sure how he brings more votes?”
Well, he is winning the Drudge poll and the Breitbart poll...
No, it’s not.
Better than any of those names that have been put out there.
Trump can only win this by peeling some votes away from Hitlery. Most of the hardcore Bernie supporters will vote for Hitlery. But there is a fair percentage that would vote for Trump if he can prove he is truly anti-establishment and willing to shake up the status quo.
Anyone who has been named in the past few weeks would only tend to convince people that he isn’t truly anti-establishment.
