Newt Gingrich Vice-President trial balloon?

By Jack Brummet, National Affairs Ed.

It looks like someone in the Trump "organization" leaked—or maybe threw up a trial balloon—that Newt Gingrich is on the short list for Donald Trump's VPOTUS slot. Of course the leak may well have come from that self-aggrandizing blow hard, The Newt himself. Holy S***!

I knew they were looking for a congressional insider; a Speaker [1] fits the bill. This race just keeps getting stranger and juicier. I just saw a clip on Fox where Gingrich [2] said he'd be glad to take the job... with a few (unstated) conditions.
