Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, President Donald Trump’s ally who in the 1990s presided over one of the longest government shutdowns in US history, said Wednesday that Trump should stop negotiating with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and instead ramp up the pressure on rank-and-file Democrats.
Gingrich said he would advise Trump to hold political rallies in Democratic districts where the President performed well in 2016, with the goal of winning just enough Democratic support to break the current impasse.
“My advice would be: Why don’t you schedule three rallies in three Democratic districts and have people show up — see how Democrats feel about that kind of direct pressure?” Gingrich told CNN in a phone interview Wednesday. “He ought to start planning right now. Reaching out to individual Democrats and ignoring Pelosi and Schumer.”

Good idea!
Newt is right. Not sure why he is not Chief of Staff, but I guess it’s better that he advise POTUS unofficially. This advise, like almost everything Newt says, is right on.
The remains of 127 dead migrants were recovered in southern Arizona in 2018
Yes . do those rallies, and the SOTU?
My recommendation:
But there is no reason the State of the Union address cannot be given in a larger venue with the Judicial branch, The Senate,House Republicans ( the House Dems will boycott), in which the public can attend.
Can you imagine a 65,000 attendance by the public in support of PDJT with the other branches of government in attendance without Pelosi?
A TRUMP rally and State of the Union Address combined ?
Pelosi has unleashed the Trump Kraken!
She will be very, very sorry she did. PDJT gets his wall.
The left loses big league.
Huzzah!
Yeah, good plan. The two clowns are not serious. So Trump has to make it serious.
Mammoth rally in warm Florida weather with free fast food sandwiches like he passed out at white house to the football players. Will be SOTU for the people instead of chickenshyt democrat politicians.
Such an event is an invitation to assassins>>
Bring them. Our snipers are better.
NO WAY JOSE!!!!
JFK and his brother were taken out ny the same deep state and for the same reasons Trump is working towards and the evil he is up against really needs to limit his public exposure to a minimum until the job is done.
I agree. Make a SOTU speech is front of your supporters.
Yep - when Crazy-Eyes-Nancy and Smirky_Face-Chucky cave, they will bluster how they had to do it because they care so much for all those who are “suffering so horribly”...
