This better be a head fake.
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.
VP is only there as a consultant and to help with the election. While Newt won’t help with any particular state or the white male issue. There is no question that he would be good dealing with Congress. He knows his way around government. He does not owe anybody anything. And can certainly debate any issue.
The VP is nothing more than a consultant once elected. Trump could use some consultants who are not beholden or worried about their own career.
