Donald Trump is considering former House Speaker Newt Gingrich as one possible option for his running mate in November, according to a source familiar with the discussions...

Gingrich has praised Trump in the past, telling TIME he has “the potential to be an extraordinarily dynamic president who shakes up a bureaucratic city that badly needs to be shaken up.”

You shouldn't be!

Hillary knows exactly how to beat up Newtie, which in turn DESTROYS Trump! It's the ONLY way she can win and believe me, she'll do it.

No they won’t they’ll be popping champagne corks, because that would insure a Hillary win.

Not with Newtie as VEEP, Trump wouldn’t win the election with that ticket.

You trying to tell me 55 year olds don’t have heart attacks, car accidents, strokes, cancer, or any other misfortune? Baloney. Pick the right person for NOW. Give credit for
EXPERIENCE!

But you should!

Remember how easily the Clintons, with lots of help from the MSM destroyed Newtie? Well, with him on the ticket, it's the ONLY way Hillary and her team CAN and SHALL beat Trump!

We usually agree, but Clinton is going to lose to
TRUMP. He will make her into mince-meat singlehandedly.

Trump doesn’t care. Guilting him by association doesn’t work.

I hope not!

Newt would be a good Chief of Staff, but he represents the Establishment and NAFTA.

I have 99.9% certainty that Newt can’t tie his mind around the catastrophic manmade global warming scam.

Yes, we usually agree, however, you aren't seeing the whole picture.

The Reason that Trump ( sans Newtie ) will absolutely beat Hillary, is because he is unpredictable, not afraid of saying anything, and she and her team have less than no idea HOW to beat him.

OTOH, the Clintons and the MSM already destroyed Newtie, still have that playbook, a lot of which younger and lofo voters have no idea about Newt, which she WILL play to the hilt. It is the ONLY way she can beat Trump and is salivating for Newtie to be the VEEP!

The old stuff about him will ALL be pulled out; the divorces, the third wife's Tiffany bills, shutting down the government, et al!

Then there are those of us who still are angry about his MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING ad with Pelosi on the sofa, his CRAZY "futurist" beliefs, and more.

He's also too old and too much like Trump/has a tendency to shoot off his mouth when he shouldn't.

He took credit for THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA, but he did NOT think it up; but took it from an older Congress Critter, who was no longer there.

Yes, he was the force that finally, on the THIRD TRY and with the TOE SUCKER's help, got Clinton to do a few good things like balance the budget.

Then there is the SIX wives and Newt's serving divorce papers on his first two wives when both were in the hospital. And don't forget that Newt's first wife had been one of his high school teachers...Hillary sure won't forget THAT !

There's plenty more, but it's late and I have been up a long time. To be continued, I'm sure.

So it looks like I might finally make it to 1600, and no one had the common decency to ping me?
