Newt.
Christie as AG, taking down the Clinton crime machine.
Newt would be good impeachment insurance.
The Congress wouldn’t want to make Newt president by impeaching Trump.
I like Newt for chief of staff so much better than for VP.
The east coast wouldn’t be a good choice. Trump is a New Yorker, It’s one of the first things people recall when they think of him. Concentrating power in the east would prove a tough sell to much of the country.
Whatever we think of Newt Gingrich, he carries a lot of baggage. Trump will need to spread the ticket around the country. Santorum and Christie are close enough to be New Yorkers for much of the country.
His V.P. needs to come from the midwest, the deep south, or the northwest.
