Sources: Sean Hannity flew Gingrich to Trump meeting
CNN ^ | July 13, 2016 | Dana Bash and Dylan Byers

Newt Gingrich, a finalist on Donald Trump's vice presidential shortlist, flew to Indianapolis to meet with Trump on a private jet provided by Fox News host Sean Hannity, two sources with knowledge of the situation told CNN.

The Fox News host flew the former House speaker to Indianapolis early Wednesday morning to meet with the presumptive Republican nominee as he holds late-stage meetings with his VP finalists, the sources said...

Hannity, who has publicly backed Trump, said Tuesday night that he was backing Gingrich for VP. "I wouldn't be happy with anyone but Newt," he said on his Fox News show...

Trump loves to create drama. Makes for good news coverage...and lot's of earned media.

Friday and the weekend will be all about Trump...and his Veep.

As I understand it, Trump’s plane had problems. Hannity may have just said, “Hey, let me get that.”

I like Newt. He is the consummate philosopher-king. He can debate rings around anyone... he has read their book and will compliment them and quote from their book to prove his own case...

As others have noted he knows where all the bodies are buried, and until he got himself in trouble he cheerfully fought Clinton to a pulp more than once and in the end Clinton has been reduced to having to take credit for years for what Newt did.

Trump needs him in his inner circle; if not VP, then chief of staff. I like him for VP because he fights. If Trump picks someone else, then let it be someone who isn’t afraid to fight.

Although he is desperately needed in the Senate and isn’t quite as outspoken as Newt, I think Sessions would be the best pick. He’s aligned with Trump on all the issues, has terrific experience, and few negatives.

FOX should fire Hannity. He has crossed the line.

Yes, I agree... Fox should dump one of their most profitable products because he flew Newt somewhere.../ S...

What line did Hannity cross?

As far as we now he got an in-depth interview for the trouble...

Yeah, TWO older white guys, that’s the way to win....said no one ever (at least in the last 20 years).

Newt is not VP material. He is too old, he has liberal leanings on race issues and is too quick to sell out. Best that he be a Chief of Staff or adviser. But not VP.

Agreed. Newt is a globalist, global-warming believing, old geezer who would be even older after a DJT term(s). He has some good ideas, and others that are bizzare. He is so YESTERDAY.

It’s actually a very cool story and should get a lot of good play in the general election, ESPECIALLY is Newt is VP.

Newt goes to Washington by way of his friends ride on a hot July morning in order to meet with the future President of the United States, for his final job interview. The pilot and everyone involved, if they are patriots would have been willing to work for free just by saying, Mr. Speaker, you have a plane to catch. This is on us. You’ve earned it for being THE most consistent person to go after the liberals and their anti-American agenda for the past 3 decades.

Go Newt!

“Not a Hannity fan but he hasn’t crossed a line. He doesn’t claim to be an impartial journalist. He’s a pundit.”

Precisely.

In other news, Carly Fiorina is still stuck at the airport in Indianapolis where Teddy left her high and dry.

Can somebody please take pity and see that she gets home? Anybody?

Sean is all in for Newt, lol

One thing about it, if Newt does get the VP pick, it would be a hoot to see whoever hillary picks for her VP to debate Newt....I would definitely DVR that one and keep it.

Sean Hannity Flew Newt Gingrich to Trump Meeting

Why doesn't Sean just use a plane like most people? I'm not sure it's safe with Newt being so old.

Hi, Yaelle,

How are you feeling now? Is your strep throat healed and has your energy returned? I was just thinking about you yesterday!

In the past, if it’s Newt, both Trump and Newt would have to go into the debates knowing there was nothing they could do about the lying liberal media placed as moderators.

While the lying liberal media will still collude with H Clinton and the VP, they will have to be much more creative in stacking the audience, getting algorithms to vote bot vote in the online polls about who won the debate, they will have to be much more creative in their attempt to be very aggressive against Trump. Because Trump is onto their lying ways and needs to negotiate better parameters for the debate.

Newt is the head of the class in all categories, including a much anticipated, much watched VP debate.

Go Newt! Hopefully we will know in the next 48 hours. There is so much enthusiasm for Newt as VP. Just watch last weeks introduction of Trump by Newt.

And Trump saying Newt will be working for the government again.
