Sheldon Adelson is among the big donors who are lining up behind Donald Trump's candidacy:

There are others who are switching over to Trump as well.

Super PACs, donors ramp up activity to boost Donald Trump
Let's put it this way - Adelson is the biggest donor to the Republicans there is. If he's lining up with Trump, it will exert a major pull for all the others to fall in line. The other big GOP donors are now following suit, and the Trump train is moving forward and onward.
Meanwhile, Hillary is still slugging it out with a feisty Bernie, and embarrassing her every step of the way. Bernie should nominate a VP choice like Cruz did, just to needle Hillary.
I feel good about the Trump movement - he's thinking very pragmatically, more so than previous GOP presidential runs. He's thinking past the elections and about a VP who will help him get legislation passed. Most nominees just think of picking a VP that will get them elected. Trump doesn't need a VP to help him win the campaign - he'll take that full on his own shoulders - he needs a VP who will help get the legislation passed once he's in office. That's a very good sign of professionalism, and that he's running for president to get things done, not just to bask in office. If Trump picks Gingrich, it'll be a really effective Whitehouse.
Gingrich is radioactive. I happen to like Newt and think he a borderline genius when it comes to understanding history and the impacts that move things along.
However, just his name is an incendiary device for about half of the population.
I donated $100 myself. I don't see a problem until the big donors ask for something in return.
Funny, really. The Clintons are as close to rich as it goes and are unlikely to act against their self interest. And at least with them you know, what's in the box.

I agree with everything you say here, except for Ginrich's role as an office-holding legislative driver. He's far to polarizing for Veep.Let's put it this way - Adelson is the biggest donor to the Republicans there is.

:lamoIt could be called "the adultery ticket".
I hope everyone posting on this topic is aware that if adelson endorses Trump, then Trump is not anti-establishment.

I like Newt, but he's too smug. He always acts like there's absolutely nothing he hasn't considered, and considered better than anybody else. I generally don't trust such people. When they make a mistake, it's usually a biggie. I'm not up for any biggies right now in the mistake department.
