Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is no longer a contributor to Fox News, the network announced Tuesday.
“Fox News Channel has mutually agreed to suspend its contributor agreement with Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich effective immediately,” said a statement from Jay Wallace, the network’s executive vice president of news. “Due to the intense media speculation about Gingrich’s potential selection as Donald Trump’s vice presidential candidate, we felt it best to halt his contributor role on the network to avoid all conflicts of interest that may arise.”
He can be appointed to something else that would stop him from being an official contributor.
It does not imply VP. Just wait for Trump to announce it.
Leo Howard
I'm pretty sure he's gonna be the VP.
It's all ogre
Michael Nguyen
Word needs to get out.
Joshua Gonzalez
All Trump said was "He's gonna play a big role in our government", that doesn't mean he's going to be VP because the VP does jackshit, really. Unless Trump's plan is to actually get himself killed and let Gingrich take over.
Camden Baker
Trump might not think they'd ever consider assassinating him.
Henry Hill
Trump is broke. He needs Sheldon Adelson shekels
Easton Gonzalez
Who, if not Newt Gingrich do you guys think is gonna be Trump's VP?
Wyatt Morris
German bro gets it!
Jayden Allen
He was teasing Pence at the rally tonight tho
Jason Roberts

Jacob Bell
Friendly reminder that you're mentally impaired if you think he hasn't at least considered the possiblity and weighed his options
Christian Powell
I don't need to be mentally impaired to think a billionre who's never been in danger, and who's used to being safe would ever think someone would ever assisnate him
Connor Foster

Kevin Reyes
Trump already said he'd play a role, so this would happen no matter what. I think he'd be a good Chief of Staff.
Anyway, is it true that there are two VP candidates only Trump knows about? Please tell me this is true.
Joshua Russell
Didn't the guy literally abandoned his former wife when she had a cancer?
Please answer me.
Christopher Barnes
Yes. Forced her to sign papers on her deathbed for his own political gain, dumped her and got a new one. He's a nasty guy. I thought he might have changed, but I still don't trust him and in either case he's unelectable.
Kayden Lee
It better not be that bloated buffoon.
David Smith
What the hell? Is trump stupid? Isn't Christie a more likable guy in America than that fucking pig?
He's going to fuck himself over this really hard.
Zachary Evans
I actually like based Newt but this is a bad move. Shows weakness on Trump's part. I wanted to see him pick Mattis or Giuliani, someone who actually demands/gets respect from everyone no matter their affiliation.. Newt doesn't get him anything.
Gabriel Barnes
her asshole had rotted out. The Newt needed some tastyfresh anus
Leo Ortiz
can u retards even read?
> “Due to the intense media speculation about Gingrich’s potential selection as Donald Trump’s vice presidential candidate, we felt it best to halt his contributor role on the network to avoid all conflicts of interest that may arise.”
If Newt themselves quit then that would be of interest.
Benjamin Sanders
NEOCOHENS GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Kayden Baker
He hates the Clintons and is extremely knowledgeable about them and is good at explaining their criminality
Adam Edwards
Christie is also a fucking pig
Jacob Anderson
Well that deals it
Trump def winning
Newt is insanely smart and savvy
Carter Reed
>multi billionaire >broke
get a clue, muhammad.
Noah Walker
Why? Because he's fat? He looks like a really cool family guy.
Joseph Baker
Fat people are unelectable on a nationwide stage
Aaron Torres
Dude, don't be retarded. Of course he considered it. He's going with somebody that they'd hate even more to have in power so that he'll be safe.
Chase Evans
His younger boy looks like chris chan
John Jackson

>cnn hires lewandowski thinking he'll be another anti-trumpet >ends up shilling hardcore for trump
>cnn lets go of gingrich thinking he's a lock for trump vp really makes you think
Jacob Gutierrez
Typical "American" idiot beaner who actually believes the steak selling scam artist is a billionaire.
>. He's going with somebody that they'd hate even more to have in power so that he'll be safe.
his daughter is the only logical choice, if he doesn't name her as VP he is a loser cuck
Jonathan Martinez
>is it true that there are two VP candidates only Trump knows about? Someone pls answer. Is there a chance he'll pick someone actually good, and everyone else is just a red herring?
Sebastian Gonzalez
Newt as VP would cement the ticket as anti-woman. I'm a forever alone NEET but if I had a reason to care about women, I'd be hesitant to vote that ticket even as a male.
Welp, Trump caved to a globalist. Color me surprised.
Noah Murphy
>He brings nothing more to the table that Trump doesn't already bring. Nigga what? He brings decades of political experience and insider knowledge. He's the thing Trump needs most which is a political sherpa to guide him through the treacherous passes of backroom Washington politics.
>If the media reports are correct for the first time in this entire election cycle
Parker Myers
You can't Jeb! the Webb.
Jackson Reyes
Webb has a great based personality, but his policies are shit and not what Trump represents. Webb hates Russia and thinks we need to be involved in that South China Sea bullshit.
Evan Ortiz
>Picking literally the most establishment person possible to be your VP Trump is gonna be assassinated within a year
Gabriel Gray
He could really do either but I think VP is the more fitting for him. Regardless he definitely has something Trump needs.
Jayden Walker
Pretty sure that Newt ran afoul of the Neocons at some point. I think he probably pissed off Jews because he thinks he's smarter than them and had his own ideas.
David Peterson
Newt is the worst pick
Ryan Williams
>Sup Forums discussion
i want plebbitors to go home
Ian Hall
Even worse than Mike Pence?
Ayden White
I'm not saying he doesn't have anything to contribute to a Trump presidency, but he literally brings NOTHING to the ticket for the election.
He's not going to suddenly win over the NeverTrumpers, and he isn't going to take votes from the Bernie or Hillary camps.
He is the electoral equivalent of Vaporware in this election.
Owen Gonzalez
does this shit every election cycle.
makes you think doesn't it
Xavier Peterson
He could be taking any cabinet position nothing is confirmed. OP is retarded
Jose Reyes
>Shillary is the Democratic nominee >Trump getting the most shilling, establishment cuckservative ever as his VP
Oh my fuck, this is the election that just keeps on giving. It appears no matter who wins, I will get to continue to witness the steady downfall of the most powerful country this world has seen. What a time to be alive.
Bentley Russell
Newt is the second worst pick after Pence.
Brandon Nguyen
Trump never said he was going to pick a VP based on perceived polling advantages. That is not his style. He wants to pick someone who is actually capable of doing shit to advance the cause, not window dressing.
Kayden Rogers
>his policies are shit and not what Trump represents He's the only democratic candidate in 30 years to get an "A" rating from the NRA. He supports immigration, but agrees we need to be properly vetting and screening the people coming into this country. He doesn't think we should go looking for war, but concedes we also can't afford to simply roll over and let China dominate the entire region. He agrees with Trump almost universally on matters of jobs, national security, foreign policy, etc.
He's also the only major figure in the Democratic party with the balls to publicly say Hillary is completely unqualified and undesirable for the office of the presidency.
Imagine Webb going up against a goofy lefty like Warren or Castro, or a spineless establishment shill like Warner or Kaine in the VP debates, he'd absolutely mop the fucking floor with them.
Carson Robinson
You can't advance anything if you don't win the election.
Asher Cox
I don't see any VP pick besides a General working
Noah Hill
Can't mute the Newt
Matthews got BTFO
Thomas Green
Trump's campaign has revolved around persuasion and changing opinions rather than adapting to existing ones. Trump adapts the environment to himself, rather than Trump adapting to the environment.
Levi Richardson
Christie is probably more liked than Gingrich but still not very popular. He's seen as a fat, corrupt North Jersey politician. But at least he didn't divorce his wife on her deathbed. I hope Trump goes with Giuliani. Rudy would've been the nominee in 2008 if he didn't do such a terrible job campaigning.
Anthony Campbell
Flynn would be pretty legit, too.
James Thomas
Flynn's not bad compared to the others, but he's also a total flake. Couldn't hold his own in debates and interviews, just a decent-looking yesman for Trump. Not that that's necessarily disqualifying.
It should be Giuliani or Webb.
Gabriel Ross
>just a decent-looking yesman for Trump. Not that that's necessarily disqualifying Yes Men are a dime a dozen in DC.
Trump doesn't just need someone to push his policies on The Hill, he needs someone with the experience and the strength of character to be able to stand up in the middle of an Oval Office briefing and disagree with a bad course of action.
Grayson Myers
...
Kevin Hernandez
Couldn't agree more. Just saying he probably hurts the campaign less than others like Pence. Also, he would at least be loyal unlike Newt.
Liam Sullivan
Trump's campaign has mostly revolved around populism. He hasn't changed anyone's mind, he just tapped into an anti-establishment sentiment that already existed and ran with it.
But the fact that Hillary is the Dem nominee - endorsed by Bernie and Obama - and she is leading in the polls means that Trump hasn't persuaded anyone of anything.
He isn't growing the base because of his message. Right now, he is literally the 'Anyone But Hillary' candidate.
The media Jewed everyone and wanted Trump to win, so they could attract clicks and views with all the stupid shit he says.
During the Primaries, the ONLY candidate with an unfavorability rating higher than Hillary, was Trump. That is still the case. People wanted to vote for ANYONE that wasn't named Clinton, and the person they chose was the only one less favoured.
I personally think Trump would make a great president. But he needs a VP that will help him win over a larger republican base, AND swing Democrats.
Webb and Rice are really the only ones that could do that. It's the middle ground or playing the identity politics.
Benjamin Myers
Honestly, VP is the most worthless job anyone in the government has. What, you fucking vote whenever there's a tie? Sounds perfect for Newt.
Ayden Reed
>newt has never been in the good graces of the political elite
Then how did he become speaker of the house?
Kayden Walker
>Unless Trump's plan is to actually get himself killed and let Gingrich take over.
Jacob Mitchell
Gingrich isn't so bad. He's a based politician and has been included to shore up conservative support.
The only old white guy who I'd rather see than Newt is Trey Gowdey (or Jim Webb but that's impossible).
Ryder Ross
Nothing is impossible.
Charles Cox
I'm tired of these fucking Webb shills, and fuck Newt too.
He should stick to Flynn or Sessions.
Joshua Clark
Token VP picks never work and the NeverTrumps are just boomers full of hot air that seem to have forgotten they're physically compelled to step into that voting booth and check the name next to R because doing otherwise would upset their lord and savior Ronald Reagan. If anything Newt will lessen the sting of them voting for Trump to a dull burning sensation.
Ian Martin
>Gingrich isn't so bad. >In sharp contrast to the approval of Clinton's economic package last summer, which was passed without the vote of a single House Republican, Minority Whip Newt Gingrich (Ga.), usually a confrontational leader, rallied House Republicans to support NAFTA. "This is a vote for history, larger than politics, larger than reelection, larger than personal ego," said Gingrich, who is to be his party's House leader in 1995. washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/trade/stories/tr111893.htm He's a conniving opportunist snake who will sell anyone out and change his position as much as necessary to stay in the limelight. He brings nothing uniquely positive to the ticket that countervails all the negative baggage associated with him politically and personally.
Nicholas Flores
MSM has been pushing hard for that pedo to be VP for weeks. Fucking irritating.
Lucas Cox
b-but muh moonbase
Jason Anderson
I've always thought Sessions would be the best choice. A long-serving Senator who early on endorsed him.
Evan Gray
Wow. It might actually happen. Trump needed to pick a moderate. Not another person percieved as a crazy right winger. Its like Trump doesn't wanna win.
Adam Kelly
>You can't Jeb! the Webb
Perfect
Kevin Edwards
Flynn or Session would be fine, but Webb would be historic.
Aaron Hill
Jim's With Him
Alexander Campbell
By the way, "Fields of Fire" is really good. All Webbslingers should read it.
