I've always liked Newt. He's smart as a whip and takes no prisoners. Sadly, he's not the VP pick, but hopefully he'll have some roll in a Trump administration.
Trump really needs to buckle down if he wants to win this thing. The EC, the media, and the current powers-that-be are all stacked against him, and he has a habit of giving them too much ammo to use against him.
Agreed, he's got to get focused and articulate this vision whilst simultaneously exposing Hillary for what she is. Right now he seems to be floundering between different minor kerfuffles that are, ultimately, totally irrelevant. He has some solid ideas and, frankly, there is plenty to work with for going after HO and crew.
