Trump ally Newt Gingrich says his big worry about President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration is that they’ll “lose their nerve” \u2013 and faced with flak from the left, “give in.”<\/p>\n

In an interview with ABC News’ “This Week,”<\/a><\/strong> the former Speaker of the House said the new Trump administration will have to take positions the “left will hate.”<\/p>\n

“Look, they’re going to arrive in Washington, and for them to be successful they have to stake out positions that [Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile] will not like and the left will hate,” Gingrich said.<\/p>\n

“I’m worried that when they realize how big the problem is, that they decide that they’re just going to do the best they can and give in.”<\/p>\n

Gingrich said he expects there to be considerable push-back on reform measures \u2013 from the environment to school choice.<\/p>\n

“My deepest concern is that they’re going to arrive, you’re going to have the greens going crazy,” he said.<\/p>\n

“You’re going to have the government employees going crazy about civil service reform. You’re going to have the teachers union going crazy over school choice. And these are pretty nonnegotiable. I mean, if you’re serious about school choice, there is no agreement with the teachers union.”<\/p>\n
