Supporters should have seen it for themselves, had they taken off the rose-colored glasses.

Who were we told was the greatest living debater in the entire GOP world? Newt Gingrich.

Who wanted 10 debates with Obama? Newt Gingrich.

Who folded, not once but twice, in the 2012 GOP primary debates against Romney? Newt Gingrich.

[Of course, his bots claimed that the moderators didn't ask Gingrich enough questions. It wasn't the questions that did him in; it was his lackluster responses to the questions he did get asked. He just did not live up to the grand expectations his supporters had.]

Gingrich’s problem was two things. One was the baggage he was carrying on his back from the 90’s. The perception of him by the general electorate, rightly or wrongly, was not going to be overcome. Second, Callista, her leading him around by the nose is not appealing in a President. Gingrich came off like Rush when he speaks of his latest young wife, pathetic. The over praising of the better half comes across as a little too much.
