” a close confidante of Trump tells Newsmax”
The janitor ?
On the plus side, the “he can navigate the legislative process” argument is quite valid.
On the other, he’s 72. Trump needs a young, energetic heir apparent who can run in the future and make sure the changes stick.
Gingrich for Chief of Staff would make a lot of sense in that scenario.
I don’t buy these stories reportedly coming from Trump “confidants”. From what I’ve read elsewhere, there aren’t all kinds of unknown “operatives” running around saying things like there are with other candidates.
Sounds good to me; the VP debate would be a rout!
Always loved Newt, but in the old paradigm saw Newt’s personal past as a non-starter.
Trump has flipped the tables of the money changers.
It’s on. I could get behind a Trump/Newt ticket.
This better be a head fake.
Couldn’t he get Newt’s experience working for him by having him serve as Chief of Staff?
Given the ages of both men, we could be looking for a whole new team in 2020
I prefer Gingrich as white house chief of staff and someone trump can groom to take over as next POTUS
I like him, but he’s too old. God forbid if something should happen to Trump, we need someone younger who can step in without age issues.
As well he should.
I imagine rumors of several possible candidates will be floated about until the convention.
A good litmus test to see a reaction, but Gingrich is a good choice IMO, lets see how the public and talking heads react.
I imagine NRO, Kristol, Krauthammer, Gutfeld, Perina and George Will (the usual suspects) will be throwing Newt under the bus over the next couple of days while they apply Preparation H to their butthurt that Mittens is not tops on the list.
I’d like to see Allen West on that short list as well.
No not Newt. The media will be over him about his affair he had.
no! Don’t do it Trump. Don’t trust any old line Establishment.
Newt could be useful elsewhere, but not VP
Duncan D Hunter
Allen West
Jim DeMint
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!
Newt was Clinton’s bitch. Great choice!
Oh lordy,
NO
1) Trump
2) Huckabee or Giuliani (tied)
