“Well, he is winning the Drudge poll and the Breitbart poll..”
_____________________________
Are you missing a sarc tag? The people who read Drudge and Breitbart are already won. Trump needs a (nonconservative) running mate who can win the LoFos. Pretty (damned smart) woman. If he chooses an ideological purist, Trump will have to work twice as hard as if he chose Joni Ernst.
Just look at the polls. Trump needs help winning over republicans. He already beats Hillary by double digits among independents.
But among republicans he is at 80% when he should be closer to 90%. That’s his job between now and election day. He needs to convince those 10% of republicans that he would be a better president than Hillary. If he can can do that, he wins. Hillary is already at 90% among democrats and has no room to grow.
Newt is well liked and respected among republicans. He’ll get those 10% on board.
