Bush needed to add a level of serious to the ticket. Trump is Serious with a capital S. He doesn’t need anyone for ‘gravitas’ or any of that. What he does need, is someone to add a broader appeal, to show the unbelievers that he’s not ‘out there’. I don’t think he needs another old guy on the ticket. I think he needs someone younger but experienced.
he said once that he wanted someone with about 20 years political experience. I think someone good looking and charismatic would be a plus. Besides, he is painting a picture of a bright future for America. I don’t see him picking someone close to his own age.
Newt will be there to fight the media on a level that they are not comfortable with. All the while, helping craft the first of many ‘First 100 Days’ of the Trump administration.
Bernie Sanders was very popular with Millennial. Young people love older candidates. Bernie Sanders campaign showed that day in and day out. Newt is very savy on social media. It is wrong to say the younger generations won't get behind Newt.
