My only problems with Newt:

1) He is too old. If Trump serves two terms both of them will be pushing 80. At that point Newt can’t run to succeed him, and the door opens for the GOPe to try and seize control of the party back.

2) Maybe it’s just me.....but I STILL have issues with a guy who walks away from a spouse who is dying from cancer.
Aside from the moral dilemma the Democrat ads would be brutal.

I think Newt after the first four could step down to Chief of Staff and let a younger person in for #2.
But if the two make positive changes a non Dem could win in 24.

I hear #2 did not quite happen that way. It has already been driven by Dems.

Newt would be nearly 82 in 2025. You’d need a forklift to get him off of Nancy Pelosi’s sofa.

Pence is a solid married guy. Newt on the ticket with Donald who’s on his third marriage won’t get the religious conservatives as Pence will bring in.
