Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is now the leading candidate to be tapped by Donald Trump as his running mate, a close confidante of Trump tells Newsmax...
Trump is said to favor Gingrich for several reasons.
First, Trump recognizes he is a Washington neophyte and sees in Gingrich someone who can school him in the legislative process and “make nice” with Capitol Hill...
Trump has other reasons he is leaning toward Gingrich. He is said to personally like him. Rubio, Newsmax reported, has already been eliminated though he lobbied through surrogates for the job. Rubio has denied doing so.

no! Don’t do it Trump. Don’t trust any old line Establishment.
Who the heck is Lt. Andy West?
The fact that Newt knows where the bodies are buried and knows exactly who has been bought and paid for by who is all gravy.
Really, really, pissing off Ryan is an added bonus.
yeah, I think your right.
Gingrich is great for consideration for VP, I’d support that ticket enthusiastically, but Newt would make a better Chief of Staff probably, unless he starts pushing a cabinet of neocons.
A good perspective you’ve offered.
What are your thoughts on Christie for AG?
Newt could be useful elsewhere, but not VP
Duncan D Hunter
Allen West
Jim DeMint
Brownback.
This is a silly article and I doubt that anyone in the Trump camp is dropping any names .
Jim is 64, younger than Newt but still not a spring chicken. I would love to see him as VP, but he’s really happy being out of the DC game.
-—I would prefer Newton to Kasich or Haley for sure

I imagine both are non-starters.
Us who support the wall would be infuriated at a Haley post. Kasich can just kiss my rump.
When he becomes President, can we PLEASE FIRE Susan Rice at the State Dept... PLEASE>
Agree newt chief of staff grooming next POTUS (VP)
HOW OLD is the young man who speaks before Trump. The young man from Sessions office.
Who is the previous candidate in the running for VP.
Not Dr Ben or CHristy.
No one has mentioned Santorum. Probably for good reason. Rubin and Cruz are out for VP but may be offered cabinet posts.
Red Green
He satisfies one of the most important requirements - someone they would not impeach Trump to get to!
As long as it’s not Krispie Kreme!
only had to get to #3 to find the correct answer. Amen
Newt was Clinton’s bitch. Great choice!
Meant Lt. Allen West
Great guy / veteran, robbed of re-election due to outrageous voter fraud.

I’d prefer to see Manafort as Trump Chief of Staff.
He has done an incredible job as campaign manager. Just don’t know much about him.
Oh lordy,
NO
I agree....Chief of Staff.
