Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told 9NEWS he’s been talking to Donald Trump and the Trump campaign, but not about being Trump’s running mate.
Said Gingrich: “I think Trump has the biggest upside and the biggest downside of any candidate I’ve ever seen. If everything works right, he will be an amazing historic figure. If everything works wrong, he’ll be worse than Goldwater. And I don’t think we have any idea right now which version is going to show up.”
