Sorry, no sale! Trump will pick Newt Gingrich because he needs someone who knows how the Legislative Branch works. Carson has a place, but not as VP.
Newt would be a fine VP.
Carson, not so much. Too meek, not sufficiently verbally precise. He might be good in a different position, though.

Hasn’t Newt done enough damage already?
Trump can’t win with Newt.
Newt is the pick I would make.

Very bad choice, very bad reasoning.
The main criteria right now in a VP is: how will it help win the election? Gingrich adds nothing - doesn’t add a state, doesn’t enhance a demographic. He is 72. He has baggage out the wazoo. Trump doesn’t need a VP to show him how DC works - any number of staff people can do that. That is the least of our worries.
We need to win the election. Every other criteria for a VP choice is WAY down the list. So the VP choice has to either win a battle ground state, or bolster a complementary demographic.
Carson may not be a bad choice. He would be MUCH better than Gingrich, Hunter, Sessions, Cruz, or Demint.
WE HAVE TO WIN THE ELECTION !!! EVERYTHING ELSE WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF AFTER THAT !!!!

I agree with you.
Carson is a great guy, but would not be the right VP choice.
There are lots of other opportunities for him now and in the future.
Trump needs Gingrich for another reason: life insurance. Gingrich is one of the few politicians (Cruz may be another) that libs fear more than Trump.
