I for one would love to see Newt somewhere. He's a free and creative thinker about our country and the planet. He has big ideas. Always has. KNows government and how to get things done.
Any one in the VP slot would be a light weight in comparison, but then again, he doesn't need to be a VP to be part of the Trump team.

A potential Trump-Gingrich vs. the Clinton Machine matchup has all the makings of an epic battle.
Gingrich is a bad idea.
Why is that?
Its a great idea...
National Review made their bed. Now they can sleep in it.
I have always been an admirer of Newt. He will play a role in the Trump Administration.
no
Absolutely agree! Trump needs someone who can communicate and share a vision verbally.
Gingrich would be great working in the administration, but he will not add to the vote total, probably make winning more difficult. It may be the grin that turns some folks off.
Newt should be SOS
Gingrich is an example of the personality disorder which cannot leave the stage—I find him rather inauthentic, but probably most politicians are.
He began as a Rockefeller Republican, then went to conservatism after Reagan. After his Speaker of the House days, he cut commercials with Pelosi about global warming.
In 2012 Sheldon Adelson financed him and he ran as the most globalist candidate in the field. Four years later, he supports Trump!
Gingrich is a great man but I’m not sure that’s a great idea. Not sure he balances the ticket and brings voters to the table that won’t already be at the table.
Ginrich like Cruz wanted to debate Clinton & Obama & Trump for 100 hours.
Sounds good to me.
Your logic is flawed. To apply the same litmus test to Trump would reach the exact same conclusion. I disagree he would be a great VP for Trump who will struggle in the general if he doesn’t have someone who can VERBALLY share his fiscal plan and what conservatism means.
Gingrich was my congressman his entire term in the House. Frankly, I am not in favor of his taking an active roll in any national politics.
That I can agree on. What’s states could he bring. Good observation
Newt has been my first choice for VP. At the same time, he might better be an advisor...quietly behind the scene....making sure that things get done.
Newt will be 73 years old next January.
If Trump stays in office for 8 years, Newt will be 81 when he can assume the corner office.
If Newt wins a second term, he will be 90 when he retires.
Linda McMahon? But she’s already a 2x loser.
Gingrich also teamed up with Hillary on medical data storage, which comes with many potential invasion of privacy issues.
