Newt might of went a bridge too far with his remarks following the Nice, France attack... then again, there’s time to place Newt in a position best suited for his talents and persona. Time will tell. In reflection, he might have made one too many appearance on television during the VP run up, turned media frenzy, for the Trump team’s comfort level.
This isn't good I wouldn't think.
