Newt does nothing for Trump electorally and brings his own temperament and loose-cannon problems. But this morning has me thinking he makes some sense. What Trump is really going to need above all, it seems, is an adept talker who can defuse, re-purpose, and explain away a long, ongoing string of controversial Trump comments. Who is better suited to that than Newt? He was extraordinarily able on Fox News Sunday this morning. To his credit, he slammed Trump’s attacks on the judge in the Trump U case, but if he had to, surely he could have found a way to deflect it, and otherwise, he almost certainly made the case for Trump better than Trump does. Eliana reported the other day on how important Newt is to Trump World, and you can see why.
