I think Gingrich has already been offered a job as chief of staff or a cabinet position in a Trump administration. I think Trump has Newt out there to distract the media while the real VP candidate is lying low until next week when the formal announcement is supposed to be made. I think it’s a good bet that Trump’s VP choice is none of the announced names put out there by his campaign.
If that’s the tactic, it’s working well. Gingrich is very distracting right now.
I agree. Newt as VP would be a mistake. His assets can be better utilized as Trump’s Chief of Staff.
