The only bad thing about Newt is he’s older than Trump.
Between the two of them, they’ve married as many women as Brigham Young.
Newt has positives and minuses imho but would be a pretty good choice. He did deliver on several promises from his “contract with America” which fact alone makes him stand far above current congressional “leadership” -— which I believe we need to replace ASAP ———— Palin and Bachmann could be worthy of some consideration too, and -—?
I don’t believe anything the Washington Post has to say...
Besides, Trump could be letting out names just to make the media twits chase their tails...
Oh lord Coach Boy
Very few saw Sarah Palin coming in 2008. In fact, when she was announced, I believe she was sitting in the press section! Nobody in the press even recognized her. But those on the Free Republic did seem to get tipped off early. There were reports the night before of a certain airplane with a certain tail number coming out of Alaska! Freepers are the best and the sharpest.
Paul Ryan was a surprise in 2012 as well. Probably the worst VP selection in modern times.
In fact, I can't remember a recent VP pick that did not come as something of a surprise. So all the names being bandied about here will probably not come to be.
Newt’s better than any of the RINO traitors out here and he’s smart and experienced.
Newt is a good choice.
I am not impressed by the thought of VP Newt. Gotta say it.
Surely we can do better than that?
I predict it won’t be Gingrich. This is slight of hand to deflect from his real selection and keep it secret for a bit longer.
I don’t know who yet, but I don’t think it’s going to be Newt.
How to kill a campaign. Must be the new Trump crew/old gope losers of elections advising Trump.
Newt can be used to great advantage, even with Calista baggage, after Trump wins.
Please try on Abbott.
A lot better choice than Christie or Pence.
I had a lot of hope for Pence, then he crumbled when threatened by Angie’s List. What a fail.
I can see why not everyone is jumping for joy on this.
But if you need someone who has dramatically changed the direction of America and who is always the smartest person in the room, it is Newt.
I know that Donald J. Trump has studied what happened to Reagan when the New World Order Cabal surrounded him and forced George H.W. Bush on him as VP, and then tried to kill him. While Newt denies attending the NWO orgies at the Bohemian Grove, he sits on couches with Nancy Polosi, etc., and the NWO certainly would think it can control him.
I really don’t think Donald Trump is going to make the same mistake. This “joint fundraising” is not enough to obligate Donald Trump to the establishment, but I am sure they will try to convince him that it does.
Anyway, I still think that Senator Jeff Sessions is the best pick. Perfect fit on governmental philosophy, and complementary on temperament and delivery. Have you ever seen any report of Senator Sessions committing a “gaffe”? Neither have I, but I have noted that Newt has often been accused of more than one “gaffe”. Not to mention the “two candidates, six wives” meme.
Trump certainly has clarified for ordinary people an understanding of the consequences of America's departure from the founding ideas!
If, in the words of the Founders, Divine Providence continues to oversee "the affairs of men," and if, in his plan, America is to have a role, then perhaps that explains this phenomenon. (Sheer speculation)
Newt would suit me just fine!
The point of the VP is to consult, win a state or demographic group, give confidence to the ticket, and/or fill in if the President passes away. Newt can do all of these accept he won’t get any votes. No state or demographic group sees Newt as a reason to vote for Trump.
Newt does have Washington gravitas and experience. So those thinking that is needed will like Newt. He is also very good at explaining things. So when Trump gaffs, Newt can explain.
I would prefer the Dem congress women from Hawaii who is more conservative than many republicans. But I’ll take Newt.
