“I’m surprised it would be a governor. “
Indeed. Esp. Gov. Pence, because Trump has consistently said he wanted a VP who knew how to whip Congress; this would point to Sessions or Gingrich, and actually even Christie too, who has managed to work with and get much of his agenda through the hidebound, Democrat-controlled legislature in NJ.
Think Reagan, he didn’t whip CONgress, he went directly to the People!
Chief of Staff Gingrich will whip Congress into shape. He’ll flatten Lyin Paul Ryan (who will hopefully be gone, by then) like a pancake. Midge will be all to happy to get the Senate to shape up, quickly thereafter.
