Newt Gingrich, who’s under consideration to be Donald Trump’s running mate, said on “Hannity” last night that he and Donald Trump are like pirates and “one of the hard questions” will be if Republicans really want “a two-pirate ticket” to take on Hillary Clinton:
“…Look, in many ways Donald Trump is like a pirate. He’s outside the normal system. He gets things done. He’s bold. He’s actually like a figure out of a movie. In a lot of ways, my entire career has been a little bit like a pirate. I’ve taken on the establishment in both parties. I’ve been very prepared to fight in the media. One of the hard questions on the way to California — do you really want a two-pirate ticket?”

Newt went on to say that he thinks the decision is between himself and Indiana Governor Mike Pence because everyone knows Chris Christie isn’t pirate:

After talking to Trump, Newt says it's down to him and Pence as VP. Trump has two "really good but really different choices," Newt says.
