Newt Gingrich to campaign with Donald Trump tomorrow, intensifying VP rumors
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | July 5, 2016 | Tamar Hallerman

Word on the street is that former Georgia congressman and House Speaker Newt Gingrich will be joining presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump at an Ohio rally tomorrow, making an appearance that could very well serve as an audition to be the billionaire’s running mate.

Several reporters tweeted the news on Tuesday afternoon that Gingrich will be a special guest at Trump’s Cincinnati rally on Wednesday evening.

We’ve known for a while that Gingrich is a top contender for Trump’s VP, but the two have not appeared together since that news broke. Tim Alberta over at the conservative National Review reports that the appearance is a “trial balloon” to gauge how well people receive the pair...

Will support whoever Trump picks, unless it was Paul Ryan. We have 13 days until the convention. Many of us support Newt. If it’s Newt then game on. If not, will still support who ever the VP nom will be.

But Newt would bring another level to both the general election, and most importantly, the first 4 years of a Trump precedence to Make America Great Again #MAGA

What does Gingrich bring? A state? A region? A demographic? No, no, and no. He does bring Globalism.

‘do we really want Bernie supporters?’

Maybe we can come up with some sort of ‘acceptability test’ for voters. People who pass will be allowed to vote for Trump; people who fail will be directed to Queen Hillary.

Flynn can’t do a full scale debate on all the issues though. He’s an expert in one field only.

BINGO!

CNN covered his entire NC speech this evening, while FOXMegyn Corp cut a way.

CNN followed the speech with MORE of the TRUMP speech, while FOXMegyn News Corp was doing what FOXMegyn does, and even O’Reilly did an in terview with TRUMP, though it was a “phoner” affair, I believe TRUMP called it.

I have said that while it’s true that the NY media corp pundits are all blistering TRUMP with their mindless bias, still their bosses are running plenty of TRUMP rallies on LIVE TV, and in person, giving ‘em hell.

The only part of the Unions that are behind Hillary are their brass. The rank and file are hearing the facts from TRUMP that they already know very well.

The only Hillary votes will come from the “fundamentally transformed” population that Obama shipped in illegally and who have those free Obama “foams” for polling purposes and they can’t vote anyway.

EEEXACTLY!

This contest is up to a half dozen states and we need some love from those states.

I adore Newt. He was my pick in 2012. Smartest man with a mouth I ever heard, BUT, he is about as warm as a cactus.

Corker was showing the love this evening in that NC rally for TRUMP, like I could not believe. I never cared for Corker, but a lot of the nevers’ do respect him.

Should Corker PROVE to deliver some unity, he may be a pick worth considering, because.. WE HAVE TO HAVE NORTH CAROLINA, and Hillary is making a big play for it.

Bernie’s boys are not going to support Hillary. They hate her and after today they have even more reason to despise her.

If these people are rightfully feeling so disenfranchised by Hillary, they simply will not vote at all, but if they are truly riled up and angry with her, they may very well vote TRUMP, in November.

Many votes are coming to TRUMP that the polls simply can not pick up. Throw in the Unions as well.

Democrat ticket voters are depressed and their votes are down according to the primary tracking.

Hillary can not rouse the vote. She can’t get it out. The enthusiasm for her is waned. There is no one left to go door to door for her but the elites, and they aren’t going out doors in November for anybody.

The grunts are dead broke and see nothing that has been helpful from the Plantation in DC that belongs to Obama and Hillary.

“The one thing about Newt, he will destroy anyone of the Dems who faces him in the VP debate.”

You can bet the farm on that. He also handles the press as well as anyone.

but do we really want Bernie supporters?

Why do their votes not count?

Very true. Unfortunately, most here never heard Newt in the 2012 debates. Here is just one example:

My favorite:

People need to do their homework.

Trump is dating all the sorority girls one a time to mislead the press as to his choice of homecoming queen.
