I agree about Newt. Stop and think about the main requirement of the VP. That requirement is to take the helm if the President is incapacitated. Now plug in the buzz people like Nicky Haley? Marco? etc. Ask yourself — Would i think this person was ready to run this entire country? Only if you are kidding yourself. Marco Rubio was the opposite of Trump on Trump’s theme issue— stopping illegal immigration. Trump is fiercely loyal to his friends— He is very wary of his enemies. He owes the GOPe absolutely nothing but a kick in the butt.

I also agree with you on this matter of a VP.....it needs to be someone that has the ability and experience to handle the reins of the Presidency should Trump not be able to do so. That may very well happen IMO because I'm not so sure, as some are, that he really wanted the office to begin with....... so it's not unimaginable he might look for a way out, I say this because just the fact of being able to move about is very 'confined' for a First family...and this will be a major problem for Trump to adjust to in itself........added to this the weight of the office itself he has no clue what he's stepping into except that it is over his head. So he needs to carefully examine his choices ...I would love Newt there and would feel somewhat more comfortable with Trump as President.....which I'm not at all currently.

I'm also not sure just how Trump will handle the GOP once he's done using them in the General....obviously many aren't willing to hook to his wagon even now. So there's much to be concerned about. A outstanding VP would calm the nerves of many that need to be calmed....including Trumps.
