Newt would be disastrous as veep. If a Kenyan can be elected with a Joe Biden as veep, we know that it really doesn't matter all that much.
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
I strongly suspect that if Newt is Trump's pick, Trump won't last a year as President.

"A more reliable (and honest) analyst would point out that Gingrich is considered toxic by a significant number of genuine and informed conservative Republicans because they remember he was the chief strategist for the Republican Revolution that ratified much of President Bill Clintons Big Government revolution, in particular NAFTA, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and illegal alien amnesty. Gingrich and his liberal-left, internationalist supporters, however, know that most voters will not remember Gingrichs record, but will be mesmerized by his rhetoric. The always glib and glabrous Gingrich has reinvented himself more often than rock diva Madonna and more radically than Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner. He moves back and forth with seamless ease across the political spectrum and across bipartisan lines, denouncing liberal Democrats on the one hand (to the glee of conservative Republicans) while simultaneously on the other hand working with Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore, Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Howard Dean, and others of the same ilk, helping promote their Big Government agendas.
Trump needs a VP who will sing from the same hymn book he does on the campaign trail, pacify conservatives and can pull the right levers of power in D.C. to get things done once in office, Ford O'Connell, former campaign advisor to 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain, told Bloomberg News. Gingrich, without question, fits that bill.
Indeed he does fit the bill of one who can pull the levers of power and sing the tunes necessary to pacify conservatives. And it is telling that a prominent advisor to McCain, one of the most progressive Republicans in Congress, views him so highly.
A big part of Gingrichs cachet with the progressive internationalist set stems from his longtime service to the Council on Foreign Relations. He was a CFR member for two and a half decades (1990-2014) and he has given no evidence to suggest that his recent lapse in formal membership signifies any break with the groups globalist objectives. More likely, it betokens a conscious effort on his part to pacify conservatives and camouflage his continuing one-world orientation."

I haven't picked a winner in many, many, years; I never vote for incumbents and if someone is running unopposed I don't vote for them.

It's too foul for words -- I saw it on Anne's TV tonite: Rump happily announced that Don King was expensively stumping for "Rump for president -- Sanders for VP!" Followed by the emetic bleating about Gingrich, one of the most loathsome individuals in amerikan political history.
Remember this cover story -- dating from 1985. Look how stinking rotten the spotted lizard already was 31 years ago!!!

Ask Ronald Reagan how that goes.

I like Sessions for veep; he's rock solid philosophically and might be able to deflect some of Trump's divisive pronouncements with his calm reason and demeanor.
