Free Republic was all in for Newt back in 2012
So was South Carolina. As well as the audiences at the first debates.
And then the RNC started stacking the audience with Mitt hacks.
It is a little different now. We were looking at him for the presidency. Many of us felt like he was young enough then to serve eight healthy years as the POTUS. Today, he is four years older, and being consider for the VPOTUS.
In a best-case scenario, Trump serves eight-years as POTUS, and afterward his VPOTUS is elected as POTUS. It seems like a real stretch to believe that Newt is in a position age-wise to be young enough to serve that long. He is 73 now, and would be 81 in eight years.
Ronald Reagan was 70 when he was elected the first time. We really need someone young that will be younger and healthy.
Bush and Obama each chose running mates that were not realistic for being elected afterwards. Just my humble opinion.
