Ken Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
Hillary’s, not so smart, game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for lying under oath to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.
For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
Gee wilikers, Mr. Mouser. Thanks for the tip! I've never heard of any of that stuff.
I'm still real proud of Mr. Trump and Mr. Gingrich for collecting themselves that impressive group of wives and ex-wives. It speaks well of all of them.
I really don't understand why he would pick someone with so much baggage. Heavily in debt, divorced wives (one with cancer), low favorables (a few years ago The Most disliked politician in America), and a throwback to the 90s--when he left as speaker pretty much despised. Shows what "great people" Trump surrounds himself with. Also massively divisive. Poor choice.
He's one of those guys who looks ok from a distance, but as soon as he gets out there--he's kind of hated, as demonstrated in 2012. But, it would be good for the Dems.
He really has little choice. Trump doesn't have too many quality options. He could pick someone like Pence but that would be risky. Pence has a high profile after the RFARA passed in Indiana and is very very conservative. That would turn off some of Trumps base and a lot of moderates as well. He could choose Gen. Flynn which I feel is riskier. A pro choice Democrat with no political experience. His comments over the months have made his pool rather limited is the issue here.
Trump isnt against any of that. He just claims he is. His GOP friends are all part of the globalist 0.1%, they all pushed for NAFTA and he is trying to get them on board his campaign and need their money too (Trump probably isnt even a billionaire).
Maybe he isn't, but he publicly says he is, and a large portion of his voters believe that. What it basically does is removes a line of attack they can make on her. You can't criticize her for supporting trade deals when your VP was the author of the most important recent and disliked one.

Right. Newt on the ticket effectively takes the trade issue off the Trump campaign table.
Quote:
Gingrich has been a reliable advocate for free international trade, and a critic of both the politics and economics of protectionism.
In 1993, Gingrich supported NAFTA, and later argued for including Chile into the deal, with the eventual goal of having the entire Western Hemisphere as a free trade zone.
In 1994, Gingrich supported passage of GATT, which established fast track authority for the president and the WTO.
In 1998, Gingrich supported MFN status with China. And he supported free trade legislation between the United States and sub-Saharan African nations.
In 2010, Gingrich called for the creation of "Free Cities," Hong Kong-style free trade zones,
In a possibly related tell on the Veep choice for the Dems, Elizabeth Warren will speak on the first night of the convention, maybe indicating that she's not the Veep choice.
But unless I'm mistaken, if this is true, this could get some 'old school' republicans behind Trump.
hmmm... you might be mistaken. The 'old school' republicans were the ones who forced newt out on that ethics issue. Can't see too many dyed-in-the-wool republicans going for this mashup. And, just in case - in preparation for an announcement that newt is the pick, the dems are probably gleefully going through old footage so they can launch a counter ad the minute it is announced. They will have so much stuff that they'll have trouble deciding on what to use first.

Looks more and more like Tim Kaine.
I completely agree but I find it interesting that she's vetting Admiral Stavridis.
My hunch is it's a smokescreen for vetting him for a cabinet position, likely Secy of Defense.
Okay, so it looks like i was wrong. I thought for sure the Donald would listen to his son and name Ivanka the Vice President. Now that it appears that won't happen and our good buddy Newt is moving up the food chain, i went scurrying to see what his marital history was/is.
The good news is there's only been three and the current one has been with him awhile (though his affair with her goes back way before he divorced #2). Frankly, i don't care about any of that, i'll leave that to all the right wingers who have spent most of their life chastising Bill and Hillary...i just know they'll be all over this choice due to their high moral fiber (wonder if that helps them crap better?).
This potential VP choice sent my mind to working (sometimes that's dangerous). I think the ultimate outcome would be for Newt to dump #3, Ivanka to shed her spouse and the Newt to wed the drop dead and really, really smart Ivanka. That way they could keep it all in the family and good lord, imagine the blood line when Ivanka and the Newtster start spewing out little ones.
OMG, presidential candidates for centuries to come.
And how about this one for their bumper sticker (i'm only doing this because my new rightie friends told me it was okay to trash politicians): The Dumpster, the Humpster and the Diva.

It's Trump-Gingrich
