Gingrich: If asked, I would be Trump’s VP

The four U.S. House members joined their Republican colleagues for a meeting at the Capitol Hill Club.

So far, delegates in only two states – Colorado and ME – are part of the effort, but if others join in, the former presidential candidate, who did best in the GOP primaries after Trump, would get a prime-time speaking slot at the Republican National Convention, which begins Monday, July 18 in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Times characterized the new appearances that as being among several “public tryouts” taking place this week.

“Newt has been my friend for a long time”, Trump said.

Trump drew 41 of 54 Republican senators to the U.S. Senate meeting where Trump called out three senators who had been critical of his candidacy, according to Republican aides familiar with the meeting. He talked of repealing President Barack Obama’s health law, reducing regulatory burdens, overhauling tax laws and getting the Supreme Court to “be one that is more reflective of the values of the country”, according to Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga. I think his response was, ‘I want to protect Article I, Article II, Article XII, ‘ going down the list. “He looks forward to defeating Hillary Clinton in the fall and doing everything he can to accomplish that”. But fissures are developing in the state’s conservative bedrock, as Donald Trump’s bid for the White House jolts the party establishment.

Trump also continues to defend his praise for Hussein, the Iraqi dictator whom he described as having been effective at killing terrorists. “I like people who weren’t captured”.

Corker has always been more of “an administrator, a get-things-done kind of politician” rather than a political attack dog, which is probably what made him uncomfortable with the thought of becoming vice president, Syler said. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who has refused to endorse him?

“I think it is so profoundly dishonest that it sickens me and makes me very angry”, Gingrich told CNN. Such consultations would help Trump “get the input he needs from both the Senate and the House”.

But Flake apparently also told Trump that he’s not firmly #NeverTrump, despite his reservations. Still others plan to skip Thursday’s meetings entirely.

“I’ll tell you one thing, folks: I’m not saying it’s Newt, but if it’s Newt, nobody’s going to be beating him in those debates”, Trump said, “That’s for sure right? We’re much more practical and polite”.

The Rogers lawmaker hadn’t spent time with Trump since the start of the campaign.

Trump apparently went after Sasse as well in the closed-door meeting.

Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said in a statement that there was “no discussion of any endorsement” at the meeting.

Donald Trump had some not-so-nice things to say to GOP critics Thursday. Supporters stood in a lengthy line for hours to hear Trump speak.
