Newt isn't delusional. He knows he doesn't have a prayer. He can make money for himself and his buds with federal campaign dollars, however, so that's what he's doing.

You use what you got.

Doesn't have a prayer? Not sure where you get that Idea. Give it just a couple weeks and he will be the clear front runner. His announcement just put Michelle B. and Palin out. I don't think either will run now. Mitt can't escape RomneyCare, he's married to it and it's a deal breaker.
The rest of the field just doesn't't have the name recognition to compete against Newt.

Trump will see the writing on the wall and drop out early if he even gets in which I doubt he actually will.

I will go on record now. Newt will be the Republican nominee.

Yep. I once read that if you get over a certain amount of votes you get some sort of paycheck for life.
