If the story becomes Trump getting pushed around by advisers and not going with his get instinct or comfort zone it is going to bode very ill for future negotiations.
They keep saying Manfourt supports Pence. Pence doesnt wield the negotiating power and shrewdness that Newt does.
Both the establishment and left are afraid of Newt. That should tell Trump everything he needs to know on why Newt is the right VP at the right time. Newt is an outsider like Trump. The establishment feels safer with a Pence VP over a Newt VP. That should tell you something and if Manfourt is pushing Pence like the press is saying, that isn’t a good sign.
