Newt Gingrich in New Hampshire speech: I'm best debater in GOP field

If Newt was so good why isn't he still there?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The History of Newt - Are Republicans ready to look past his transgressions?……”Believe it or not, his press secretary…insists Gingrich has gotten a grip on himself…”.

[US Navy Vet]

SO Newtie is NOW a “Master-Debater”? HUMM?!

[dfwgator]

If Newt was so good, why did he quit after 1998 after being re-elected.

So he lost his Speakership....if he was a true believer, he would have stayed and fought to get back to the top....but he took his ball and went home, where he could make money.

Republican Caucus Power Rankings for 11/21/11....Perry and Santorum seemed to have done the best in relating how they recognized a moment of weakness in themselves and learned from it. Ron Paul seemed detached from the discussions, which was odd given the passion he brings to many issues. Gingrich also seemed detached. During the forum Drew Cline of the New Hampshire Union Leader tweeted, “Newt tells emotional personal stories as if he’s narrating a documentary about some historical figure.”

I've seen this and remarked on it too. With Ron Paul he's a red-hot blast that refuses to engage in the possibility that he could learn anything from anyone. And similarly, Newt knows that no one could possibly know more than he does and is in love with himself. Both of them strike me as narcissists -- and you do not want a narcissist as a U.S. president for 4 years, let alone 8.

Newt is a Master Debater.

[BunnySlippers]

... and?

[Ingtar]

His “big ideas” are part of the problem. When he finally gets a bit of momentum toward changing something, he is already moving on to something else.

[j_k_l]

DAMN! Beat me by seconds.

[NakedRampage]

Well, he IS a good debater.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

5 minutes after Perry (as the nominee) started debating Obama we would all be puking and wanting to shoot ourselves

Go back to Texas Perry

[Buddygirl]

Being a master debater does not mean that he will be a good leader! The best I could ever accept him would be as secretary of some agency...not as President.

[italianquaker]

It is obviously true but he doesnt need to brag about it

Nov. 13, 2011: “Pelosi fires back at ‘60 Minutes’ report on ‘soft corruption’”

“Pelosi and her husband participated in an initial public offering of Visa in 2008, according to CBS. They bought 5,000 shares at the initial price of $44; two days later, shares were trading at $64, CBS said.”.......... Source

they all brag about their abilities.. ALL OF THEM

[presently no screen name]

Newt knows that no one could possibly know more than he does

I think he has proven himself in that area. Is it a plus for him for a minus for the other candidates. They have the opportunity of speaking what they know - why blast some who is doing it.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

I’m not voting for her either

[Gator113]

Within 6 weeks, it’s all going to come down to Romney or Newt.... I chose Newt.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Well, in one debate, Mitt Romney shut Newt up real fast when he pointed out that Newt had the idea for the INDIVIDUAL MANDATE.

I Expect Obama will have some fun with that too.
