I keep hearing Newt Gingrich mentioned as a vice-presidential running mate for Donald Trump. Please. Trump is 70 years old; Newt will be 73½ on inauguration day and would be 77½ by the end of his first term of office. I realize that the current vice president, Joe Biden, is also 73 years old, but he was "only" 66 when he took office in January 2009. Younger blood, Donald. Mike Pence, the governor of Indiana, is a better choice. He's 57 years old; he knows his way around Congress; and he has legal credentials (a J.D. degree from Indiana University School of Law). Here is additional information about Pence. I like the sound of "Trump/Pence 2016."
