Newt has the gift of cutting to the chase in a clear, convincing manner.
Where can Newt best be used? Special Assistant to the President, I think, a position where there are virtually no bounds and he can focus and pivot as needed.
It would be a waste of his unique talents by making him a bureaucrat or even diplomat. He needs 360 degree purview and the ear of the Boss.
“Newt has the gift of cutting to the chase in a clear, convincing manner.”
That is Newt’s strength, no question about it.
