Hmmm....I was wondering if they’d find a spot for (former cRuz supporter, turned Trump supporter) KelliAnne Conway.
This is Mary?
Nowadays it could be.
Pence is fine, but Trump pretty much told us Newt will be part of his administration when he campaigned with Newt in OH. Will be very disappointed if Trump has nothing for Newt, who was Trumps 1 of 2 finalists for VP and Newt has defended Trump for months.
Newt is not bothered about being removed from the inner circle, but those of us who know that Newt is a brilliant modern day patriot who could help Trump, it will not sit well if Trump now shuns Newt for no apparent reason. If Trump doesn't include Newt, it will show his decision making has declined. Unfortunately. Will still vote for Trump, but he needs to make Newt part of his team which he already alluded to in Ohio.

Busy weekend in NY! Enjoying a quick dinner with the family at @Chilis. Looking forward to getting back to Indiana.
LOLOL to your Mary/Marty post, sock!!
You actually looked upthread and gave your pearls a break?
Smart cookie, you ;-)
Why is Trump shunning Newt? Sure Newt will be speaking at next week's convention, but it's as if, in just a matter of days that Trump is shunning Newt. And if Trump is truly closing the door on Newt, after telling people in Ohio that Newt would be part of his team, then that isn't going to sit well for lots of Trump supporters.
Kellyanne Elizabeth Conway is a Republican strategist and pollster. She is president and CEO of The Polling Company, Inc./WomanTrend, and a regular political commentator on CNN, FOX, Fox Busi…On Wednesday, July 13, 2016, Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser and pollster to the Donald Trump campaign and president of the Polling Company Inc./Women Trend, joins Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric on “Yahoo News Now.” Conway will discuss Donald Trump’s challenges with women voters and the latest news from the Trump camp.Unfortunately the Pence enthusiasm is not strong. Newt on the other hand, he is needed in the hopeful Trump organization.
Why does Pence get to list all of his official surrogates? Why doesn’t Trump list Newt as an official Trump delegate?
Put it this way, and this is not to take anything away from Trump. But if the line up of speakers for the Conservative cause, for making America Great Again listed Trump, Pence, and Newt, … Newt would have standing room only over the other two. It’s great that Trump chose Pence… it’s safer, but Trump better let his base know that Newt will be part of his administration.
He’ll make Newt part of his team as he said—at least so long as Newt is willing. Be patient. I’m sure he’d prefer to make a big deal out of it and not just list him in a press release with a bunch of people most have never heard of. I’d like to see him gradually roll out his list of people he wants to appoint to the cabinet and other important positions with a lot of fanfare. If he does one a week let’s say, then he’d get a whole lot of free publicity from it.
If Newt’s just going to be a chief advisor or something more informal like that, he may not make such a big deal of it (though I’m sure he wouldn’t want even that interfering with his new VP announcement), but he’ll want to get a lot of press from it if Newt’s going to be his Secretary of State, Chief of Staff, or any other really noteworthy position. In the meanwhile, I’m sure Newt will continue advising Trump behind the scenes, as he has for months. Why wouldn’t he?
Donald didn’t nickname her “Agatha” for nothing. She can think and investigate on her own by GOLLY!
These appointments are just a fraction of the teams that will be supporting the candidates. An immediate need was filled. Newt might of went a bridge too far with his remarks following the Nice, France attack... then again, there’s time to place Newt in a position best suited for his talents and persona. Time will tell. In reflection, he might have made one too many appearance on television during the VP run up, turned media frenzy, for the Trump team’s comfort level.
