If you’re going to put someone who’s past their prime on the ticket because they really sound like they know what they’re talking about, Condi’s a better pick than Newt is. Or she would be if not for the fact that … Trump has invested lots of energy in trying to convince people that he despised the Iraq war from the start. He spent lots of time in the primaries promoting the idea that the Bushes are losers and that his new, Trumpified GOP will win again. He’s built a nationalist, somewhat (but not entirely) isolationist brand that wouldn’t easily accommodate a former top diplomat for a neoconservative president.

And purely as a matter of, shall we say, “optics,” the alt-right elements of his base would hate it.

Solid odds, then, that this report is bogus. Although, Trump being Trump, who the hell knows what he’s thinking....

I wish she would have said "yes".
