Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich tells Breitbart News that he would consider being Republican candidate Donald Trump’s running mate in November’s general election. Asked if Trump has asked him to be running mate, Gingrich said, “No.”
Asked if he would consider being running mate, Gingrich said, “Yes.” But, “I think he has to make that decision.”
“It is the most extraordinary campaign of its time,” the former speaker added. “He’s come out of nowhere and defeated 16 other candidates.”
“If he catches fire he could be much like Reagan in 1980,” Gingrich said, noting that Trump could match those record numbers “if this thing continues to evolve and people learn how dishonest and unserious Hillary Clinton is.”
In conversation, Gingrich habitually rattles off ballot statistics for small nationalistic parties in other parts of the world, from Austria, where the election “is so close they’re going to have to re-run it because the establishment stole about 60,000 votes. The two parties that had run the country came in fourth and fifth,” to Rome, where Virginia Raggi won the mayoral election heading the populist Five Star Movement. To Great Britain.
“The British people heard from the establishment unanimously opposing it and the people just ignored them and rolled over it,” he said before he started talking about the election of a schoolteacher in Iceland.

I think that Newt would make a great White House Chief of Staff.
That’s what I would counsel.
Press secretary might be more fun.....
:-)
Newt is older. Newt is 73. Sessions is 69.
I know.
I know. I have never suggested Newt for VP. That is a dumb idea. He is best suited for one four year hire as Trump’s Chief of Staff.
The anti-Newt, No Trumpers are all over this on different threads. One even said he wasn’t going to vote for Trump if Newt is the candidate!
I despair with these idiots.
I’ll vote for Trump if Newt is the VP choice, I would prefer another VP, but as long as it’s not a Bush, I’m ok with it (remember the last time a Bush was VP? The President got shot less than 60 days into his term, coincidence? I think not lol)
Best comment EVER! Perfectly stated
Study his history as Speaker.
Balanced budget and Contract With America.
The 'contract with America' was a farce and had nothing to do with stopping the size of big government.
