Well at the risk of stirring up a hornet’s nest I would like to see him pick Newt. I think he’s probably the best qualified for the job.
Absolutely! But Newt would be as detrimental to the ticket as Sarah. The ideal spot for Newt would be Chief of Staff.
He has his minuses, but Newt Gingrich is probably the best name I’ve seen floated around as a VP pick for Trump. Every other name Carson “leaked” is either an establishment hack, a lightweight, or both.
Or if Gingrich isn’t available, his buddies, Pelosi and Dede Scozzafava can fill in. I guess no real conservatives are being considered for VP?
Now, wait for the Moonbats to bark, "Gingrich has more baggage than Delta airlines."
“Well at the risk of stirring up a hornet’s nest I would like to see him pick Newt. I think he’s probably the best qualified for the job.”
Newt has more baggage than Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.
“Well at the risk of stirring up a hornet’s nest I would like to see him pick Newt. I think he’s probably the best qualified for the job.”
The downside is that he’s older than Trump, and also “just another white male.” I don’t see that latter as a big deal, personally, since those who would vote against Trump because he didn’t pick a minorority or a woman are not likely to vote for him in the first place. I personally place a LOT more importance as a voter on the VP pick being competent to handle the office of POTUS in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
Newt will also give him incredible insight into the legislative process, and is himself owed a bunch of favors. I like also that Newt is very conservative, and will influence/educate Trump where necessary. Finally, I know that Newt will make sure that Trump is aware of this nation’s vulnerability to EMP attack, and that once aware of it and the relatively simple solution, Trump will address it and fix it.
My only question is whether Trump might be better off with Newt as the Chief of Staff instead of Veep. He can benefit a lot from having a qualified and younger woman or Hispanic on the ticket...but I definitely want him to pick THE MOST QUALIFIED person for the job, with color and gender being of VERY secondary importance.

Even though both are high-energy.
We need a 45-60 year old in the #2 spot.
Newt would be the most loyal. Don’t know if that’s necessary in a VP. I think he needs to be in the middle of the action.
