Gingrich has been out of office for 16 years. How much insiderism does he have, anyway? To say nothing of being one of the more unpleasant people around.
Maybe Trump is just looking for attack dogs. Both Gingrich and Christie fill that bill. But that would be redundant with Trump’s one skill.
This campaign just gets sadder and sadder.
Trump has been vocal about wanting to choose a running mate who is on the “inside” of DC politics.
… Newtie couldn’t get any further inside if he were a tapeworm…
Cackle away… this clown act makes the “Springtime for Hitler” number from The Producers look like a French New Wave classic…
I can’t imagine some of them would want to hinder their political future by associating with Trump; namely, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), Sen. John Thune (R-SD), and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA). That leaves Christie and Gingrch who have no careers anymore and rather spotted past careers… Cotton (although sexually suspect, shall we say) might be interested. He seems pretty naive and Sen. Sessions has nothing to lose being associated with a racist campaign considering his past. (In fact, it might even help him in Alabama.) Gov. Faillin is not known to be very intelligent, but in Trump’s mind she might help him with women.
In reality, I can’t say that any of the 5 likely ones would pose a “game changing” choice and might actually hurt Trump marginally.
I thought his strengths as a candidate was that was NOT an insider to DC politics? Well anyone dumb enough to vote for a Orange Jeebus - Angry Little Attack Muffin ticket deserves what they get…
Talk about candidates with “BAGGAGE” these guys are carrying “STEAMER CHEST” on their backs.
Here at home a couple of items in the Guvs “STEAMER CHEST” take you pick:
Christie vetoes $17M in welfare, women’s health programs ‘to protect taxpayers’
Christie orders shutdown of N.J. road projects amid gas tax standoff
Christie gas tax drama. Trump talk. What happened on a crazy day at N.J. Statehouse
That has more plastic in it than you’ll find in 100 Barbie dolls!
Who can Trump possibly pick as his running mate? His anti-establishment shtick rules out active and retired career politicians. His anti-intellectual shtick rules out professors and writers. His insecurity rules out highly charismatic and eloquent people. The logical choice is Sarah Palin, who only retired from half a political career, is no reader or writer or polished speaker, and whose charisma is limited to the type of people who fork over tens of thousands of dollars to learning the secrets to getting rich quick.
According to Gallup’s favorability ratings, Gingrich was 26% favorable 61% unfavorable in 2012, the last time they polled about him. If he’s Trump’s VP pick, I’m going to have to re-evaluate those completely ridiculous conspiracy theories about Trump being a secret Clinton operative because they’re honestly more credible than thinking Gingrich would help a Presidential ticket.
There’s a non-zero chance that Pumpkinhead will pick his running mate on the spur of the moment, in the middle of one of his incoherent rants. Vetting is for losers. He has beautiful huge thoughts.
Indeed. Of course, one could also view this as “the grift that keeps on giving.”
where’s that leave huckabuck? he knows grift.
“Outsider desperately seeks insider, even though most of his credentials are based on the fact that he’s an outsider”
Wow, the Joker comparison is uncanny! Move over Heath Ledger. We have a new standard.
christie has been reduced to whimpering cur. lapdog at best. can’t even do oreos anymore.
ps. i heard christie was thinking of transgendering into a chow chow.
I’d go with Ernst. Anyone who castrated pigs regularly can surely come up with “unthinkable” torture methods.
Or How about ditch Trump
Newt and Fat boy …what a team
Chris Christie is “inside” D.C. politics? Huh?
