Newt was always the “hail Mary” candidate - most potential, but also the most risk. We all kind of knew that.
But had he won in 2012 - I don’t think he would think this way. If he had won, everything would have been different. The Congress would be different too.
Good reminder. There was ZERO risk with Romney, absolutely zilch. It was 100 percent sure that had he won, he'd have sided with the Democrat agenda every time. I know you voted for him, but it is why I voted third party. "Risk is the price you pay for opportunity." There was zero risk with Romney, hence zero opportunity. Indeed, a vote for Romney was a vote for turning the Republican party hard left, absolutely zero risk, totally certain outcome.
*sigh*
If you mean by winning the nomination, the only thing that would have changed was he would have gotten 42% instead of Romney’s 48%
