NO, NO, HELL NO.

Newt sings a good song, and there might be a place for him, but NOT on the ticket... he’s CFR, open borders, free traitor ALL THE WAY. And enough bad baggage to sink the Titanic.

If Trump would be stupid enough to do this, and I don’t think he is, I’d be done with him.

I like Newt, Sessions and Palin. However, if Trump decides his VP should be a can of tomato soup or a rotten roadkill I’d back his choice.

Rand Paul’s name was bandied about here several days ago, and I think I could warm to that pick, but what does he think of Trump’s call to ban new muslims coming into the country?

Gingrich wants this arrangement more than Trump wants it I’d wager.

He would make a better Chief of Staff.

Their is something bigger going on here...

Regardless if your are Pro-Trump / Anti-Trump he is keeping his name and his goings on in the News for free with tidbits like this, regardless of the outcome. We heard last night, of the potentiality of Rudy Giuliani as Head of the Dept of Homeland Security, and IMHO that is for starters. With that said, what did Kim Jung Shrill say today? Ya get my point...

Trump has got between now and the convention too:

* Get his platform out and digested by us and more importantly the financial world.
* Pick a VP, but don't let it out until the convention.
* Get his entire Cabinet and Staff chosen, and here is my idea...

At the Convention bring them all out on Stage just before they close it out and introduce them all and the post they will fill. My guess it will be a dream team. My guesses? Rudy in Homeland, Ben Carson, VA or HHS also helping with an Obamacare replacement, John Bolton at State, Palin for Energy and I'd love to see it combined with EPA and BOLM, and that is for starters.

I'd love to see him bring them out with that song heard at Pro Sports games: "Are you ready for this!" and do it in a real showman's fashion.

FWIW, I spoke with a reasonable liberal today an MD. Trump was too much of a risk for them, but when I mentioned the concept of a dream team, the verbal cues went to a crack in the door if you will, moving towards actual consideration.

I really think a "Dream Team" Cabinet would bring a ton more aboard.

Team Trump are your Lurking? Run with this idea!

Newton for Chief of Staff - Jeff Sessions, Tom Cotton, Jim Inhofe, Susan Martinez or, Tim Scott for VP.

Would not mind Gingrich in some advisory capacity, but not as VP.

Trump needs to consider doing what GWB didn’t — groom a VP for a 2024 run.

Chief of staff yes. Vp no. Gingrich is the past.

If you are going to go “old” then go with the best, Jeff Sessions.

Don’t see it as a good fit.

I’m not sure Gingrich is the best choice, but we don’t know who is or is not available. At least, Gingrich has lots of experience with the press.

I would love Trump to show up with Newt, who has said its Ryan’s responsibility to back the nominee, and unite the party. Who is more conservative than Newt, what Speaker accomplished anywhere near as much as Newt?

Ryan isn’t a conservative Buchanon is right what gives a Puke like Ryan the right to talk about conservative principles. Obama has had his way with Ryan. Ryan has the largest majority of the house ever, and Obama still has no opposition from the GOPe.

This is why the base wants to see Ryan ousted not just from the speakership but from his district.

The best fit would be someone late 40s to early 50s. Who in the Senate or House has been there long enough to fit the bill of helping Trump navigate the political establishment?

...a close confidante of Trump tells Newsmax...

Please pardon me for not believing one of DJT's "close" associates is going against what Trump has requested.

Of course, maybe, a trial balloon...?
