I applaude your realism. Those who don’t share it will be very shocked when Newt makes good on his promise that one of his first acts as President will be to “reach out to Democrats.”
I don't take Newt at his word on that or on most of what he says. I believe he will "reach out" to the Democrats, but I'm not convinced it will be sincere, particularly if we send him to DC with a strong conservative Congress. I am comfortable trusting him about as much as I would expect his third wife to trust him - and I imagine he will be as loyal to his voters as he was to his first two wives . . . faithful significantly more than half the time. It's sad that this is the best our party can attract to public office, but most conservatives prefer to do something useful and are in private enterprise.
“Reaching out” in itself means nothing, it’s what you say while doing it.
Obama reaches out to Replublicans regularly, stating “get on board and comply with my wishes or I’ll blame you for everything”. Thankfully, our House majority has saved us from his Socialist gavel (for the most part). If Newt “reaching out” means pretty much the same and we still have the majority then I am OK with it.
