Newt has the knowledge and knows the ropes around dc.
I fear Newt is too old. I can see Mr. Trump choosing someone younger and doing on-the-job training so his choice can take over in 4 or 8 years and keep the rebuilding project going. I think Newt is too old for that, even though I do love MOST of his comments. He’d be a great adviser to both Trump and Pence.
Newt knows his way around the Hill and he knows exactly where the bodies are buried.
Joni would help the medicine go down for a lot for potential Trump voters. Newt can’t do that.
