8:49Now PlayingNewt Gingrich is pretending that he isn’t interested to be Trump’s running mate. He’s doing a terrible job of it. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“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.
And that’s a bit of a break with tradition. Those with some interest in the position usually tend to dance gingerly around the subject whenever it is broached by reporters. And it is broached often. Right now, every prominent politician who appears on a Sunday morning political show is going to face seven different iterations of the, “Will you serve as vice president, if asked?” every time they appear. Generally speaking, such politicos sidestep the dogged journalism of the Chuck Todds of the world by dropping canned lines like, “I love my job“ or, “I’m not thinking about another job.”
