You'd fit right in but you'll never get the chance.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich may not have been Donald Trump's choice as a running mate, but he said Sunday that he's not disappointed--and that he'd still be happy to serve in Trump's administration.
"I would certainly serve with the president, preferably in a position that he and I would work out," Gingrich said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Trump formally announced this weekend that he had chosen Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate, putting an end to weeks and months of speculation over who Trump would pick to share the ticket with him. Gingrich and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were other shortlisted prospects.
"I think Pence is a great choice," Gingrich said. "I feel very close to Donald and his family, and I'm confident I'll have plenty of opportunity to try to help plan things and try to help move things forward."
