No, Newt would not be the guy in eight years and that IS the criteria. (Plus Newt doesn’t want it IMO.)
Newt actually said he would be “hard-pressed” to turn down the offer (my wording) but the stipulations of a future President would almost certainly rule him out. I would love to see Newt involved in a substantial way, he commented earlier this week ... or maybe last week; how being on the outside has helped him to understand the problems the country is facing when he couldn’t see them from Washington.
Trump will figure it out and it will be a seasoned politician LIKE Newt with a strong loyalty to him and the party.
Newt is old school....If called...you serve.
