YES!

Newt is smart and effective so having him as COS is far better than putting him at State or elsewhere.

To those saying no, stop being absurd.

You'd be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable guy than Newt.

Part of why Obama foundered early is he surrounded himself with Amateurs.

Trump will NOT make that mistake, I assure you.

Businessmen can't afford to make personnel decisions based upon emotion. Ones that make a habit out of it learn real fast why it's a bad idea.

When you drain the swamp it is not called a swamp anymore. Newt has no experience on where we are going.

Yeah, he is knowledgeable, but also nothing but an opportunist that will bring the same ol' bullshite politics many are so tired of.

Newt- paid lobbyist, for bailouts, for obamacare, for single payer. He is the very thing many of you hate about DC, yet you want him that close to Trump.

That is what is absurd.

Les Miles ceased being able to field a team with an offense.......but...........if by some hook or crook, you found yourself in a position to hire him as your recruiting coordinator, you'd probably think that's a good call.

Why? Well simple. He wouldn't be in charge anymore. He couldn't frick up your offense if he wanted to.

Trump hires the best and it doesn't get any better then Newt.

He needs someone like Newt to navigate the swamp.

Go away you ignorant douche.

ETA: Newt is extremely intelligent, extremely knowledgeable, extremely "Washington savy", not beholden to any of the GOPe...... And often votes and acts his conscience not the party line.

Seems that upsets you. Sounds like a PERFECT COS to me. Sorry, but you irrational uber-cons will be very disappointed with TRUMP. his picks are likely to be centrist, like Newt.
