Read that opening line again, people. "unnamed source" told CNN. Might as well have said the leprechaun told Whopi Goldberg for all of its accuracy.
Trump and his people have repeatedly said he wants somebody familiar with Capitol Hill that knows the players and can get legislation passed. Also, somebody that can help him in the swing States.
I have a name that fits that, and not Newt. Newt has been off the Hill too long, doesn't help with swing States, and the Clinton's know how to fight him.
Can you name another former Speaker that fits the criteria? I can! Look there and not at some CNN red herring.
