Possible Trump Running Mate Revealed..Will Make Lots of People happy

A report is floating about in political circles that Donald Trump is considering Newt Gingrich as his running mate.  It makes sense.  Newt Gingrich is best known as the man who engineered the republican takeover of Congress in 1994 with his “Contract for America.”  He solidified his conservative credentials when he actually fulfilled the terms of the contract by taking votes on all the issues in the first 100 days in office.  Polls have shown Hillary is competitive with Trump in Georgia, but with Gingrich, it takes the state out of play.

For those who argue that Trump isn’t conservative enough, Gingrich would be a good balance for the ticket and in the vice presidential debate, Gingrich would go in as an odds on favorite to win, no matter who Hillary picks, and that includes Chief Sitting Bulls*^t, Elizabeth Warren.  Gingrich is also a “big idea” man who has the ability to articulate those ideas in language anyone can understand.  On top of that, he has fought the Clintons many times and got Bill Clinton to sign a welfare reform bill.

His biggest accomplishment is once he took over as Speaker of the House, he kicked out the old bulls and installed young conservatives to head the various committees, including John Kasich, who balanced the budget.  (That was when he was still a conservative)  Allegedly, it was Ben Carson who suggested Gingrich.  Gingrich has already stated that he would seriously consider accepting the offer, should it come.

“I would certainly talk about it. I wouldn’t turn it down automatically.  I am in the ‘not no’ column.”

As someone who closely monitors the social media, I have seen many ordinary republicans expressing their desire to see Newt as Trump’s running mate.  The smart money is saying that Susana Martinez, governor of New Mexico would be a boost for the ticket as she is a woman and Hispanic.  No official word on who is on Trump’s short list of running mates.
