Newt Gingrich's Sad Audition To Be Donald Trump's Vice President

Now that reality-television star and gilded yeti Donald Trump has pretty much secured the GOP nomination, attention has begun to shift to who might claim the honor of being Trump’s running mate. This should naturally be of great interest to everyone, if for no other reason than the person chosen may well be left holding the bag when Donald Trump finds out just how hard being president is. (He does not think it’s an even remotely difficult job.) There has already been a lot of talk of possible short lists, and an equal amount of talk about who doesn’t want the job under any circumstances (Marco Rubio).

But in case you haven't noticed, Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and failed presidential candidate really, really wants to be Donald Trump's vice president. Oh, man! He wants it so bad! He does not even try to hide it.
