Did you read what Noot said, article today, making nice with Van Jones on some teevee show, and Noot said white people have no idea of the suffering black people have from racism. You should read the whol article, it was posted today or maybe last night.

Absolutely SICKENING.

Watch the video of Newt effiserating H clinton and then introducing Trump. Newt knocked it out of the park AND this is just a preview of what Newt will bring to the general election. Newt will take an interview anywhere, anytime. He is a great communicator like Turmp.

Did you watch the actual interview? Sickening how people are misrepresenting what was said.

Very sickening. People took a headline and twisted what was said.

So Yes, NEWT for VP all the way. Nothing has changed. Sickening that people are taking a headline out of context. WRONG on every level.

Agreed! Ike’s main flaw was a lack flamboyance. He just did his job..

Perhaps I was being a bit sharp.

He looks very “intense”, which is exactly what he SHOULD look like as a General involved in killing our mooselimb enemy.

As a VP candidate, the optics of that look combined with Trumps over the top persona would be problematic.

He should be named Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staffs.

His mission should be to neutralize the domestic enemy trying to destroy our military.

You’re so silly. I’ll cut you some slack - it’s Saturday night and you probably don’t have a date.

Nope, didn’t watch, don’t have teevee.

Even if he didn’t say that, he’s not the right man for the job.

In ordinary times, maybe, but these are not ordinary, and going to get a lot less ordinary soon. As we speak, actually.

The violence with BLM teamed up with commies, moslems and the DOJ is giong to ramp up, they’re trying to start a revolution. It’s going to get bad. We need serious men for serious times. No need for smiles or optics. We need generals.

I do like Newt in some ways but he is not right for VP. If you have link to transcript or video of interview, i’d appreciate it.

You are wrong.

This registered Democrat who obviously voted for Obma 2 election cycles in a row is NOT someone we want as VP.

Will be VERY disappointed if Trump chooses this registered Dem who you know had to have voted for Obma in 2008 and 2012.

One thing for sure, Newt NEVER voted for Obama.

I will still vote for Trump if he picks this guy, but will NEVER be an enthusiastic supporter anymore. Why bring potential political enemy in as the next person in line for the Presidency? Newt is legions ahead of this guy on all levels. Anyone who gives Trump advice to choose this Democrat is a MOLE and trying to sabotage a possible Trump presidency. There is never a doubt that Newt is a patriot and is in tune with our Founding Fathers intent.

If Trump chooses this Democrat, just watch his support go down. THAT IS A FACT.

One more comment, Newt is about Getting Things Done as an American.

That Newt can go into enemy territory and respectively disagree while winning the debate every time with smile speaks to why he was able to get things done in Washington.

I think Hillary will take Kasich. Thought so for a while now. She needs Ohio. They’ll call it the Unity Ticket”.
