Pence’s experience with Congress is miniscule, really really miniscule compared to Newt’s.
Hey..... I love Newt. I have defended him against the sanctimonious Freepers for years.
He is old
He is in my view better suited to Oval Office Policy for the next 50 years. His ability to actually look beyond this afternoon is sorely needed.
Therefore, pence in the trenches with the knives seems to me to be the better choice
Any way, I am not going to be upset if either is the choice. Both are great men
