http://time.com/4328193/donald-trump-newt-gingrich-vice-president/?xid=time_socialflow_twitterGingrich has praised Trump in the past
Donald Trump is considering former House Speaker Newt Gingrich as one possible option for his running mate in November, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
Trump, the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party, has been discussing Gingrich with his confidants as a potential ticket mate, a source familiar with the talks said, making the former House speaker one of the handful of options the likely Republican standard-bearer is considering for the fall.
Gingrich has praised Trump in the past, telling TIME he has the potential to be an extraordinarily dynamic president who shakes up a bureaucratic city that badly needs to be shaken up.

But I can think of only a few that would be a worse pick.
newt is not well liked among republicans or Democrats ... republicans remember the after-math of his over-reaching and Democrats remember his rough-shod manner ... and they both remember the impeachment stuff.
