Aiming for Friday announcement, Trump narrows his VP list

– pourmecoffee (@pourmecoffee) July 12, 2016 Krugman said that Newt Gingrich is a stupid guy’s version of what a smart guy sounds like and Donald Trump is about to prove it.

While flying Gingrich to Indianapolis may be viewed as a conflict of interest, Hannity has long argued that he is not subject to journalistic ethics because he is a pundit. “I was hauling dishes from the cupboard at midnight”.

In an address on Facebook Live, the ex-Georgia lawmaker said “all sorts of rumors are swirling” about Trump’s race and that he was flattered to be in the running, adding that he and Pence were the top two final contenders.

“In many ways, Donald Trump is like a pirate”.

Alabama senator Jeff Sessions, Trump’s first endorser in the Senate, also met with Trump. Gingrich is a boisterous rabble-rouser who has spent decades in Washington, including as House speaker.

Trump has spent weeks consulting with friends and family as he weighs the most important decision of his campaign to date.

Newt Gingrich, a leading candidate to be Donald Trump’s running mate, told Republicans at a closed-door meeting earlier this year that Trump is not a conservative, speaks to voters “at the lowest level of any candidate in either party”, and could lose in a landslide if he didn’t significantly change his approach to campaigning. “He does it because he knows if you talk at a fourth-grade level everybody can understand you”.

Trump appeared reluctant to commit on Wednesday. “But in my own mind, I probably am thinking about two”, he told Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier.

“Tomorrow I’m going to spend some time after the Trump announcement – whether I’m the person who is announced or we have Mike Pence, I’m going to do a Facebook Live”, he said. The Republican National Convention, where Trump will formally be enshrined as the party’s nominee, begins Monday in Cleveland.

Now, due to “intense media speculation”, Fox News and Newt Gingrich have announced a mutual parting of ways while Trump decides who he wants to lose the election with.
