“can’t for the life of me understand why the GOP has not selected Newt”
Yes, the problem is that primary voters aren’t going for him. He is fantastic, every line is a zinger.
My guess is that based on comments from others is that they don’t support Newt because they can’t get past the three wives.
For me, he is my first choice all the way.
Those who cannot egt beyond the three marriages are playing their token righteousness card, as if this will stand them in a plus side with God at judgment. I suspect many of these same token players vote for a democrat like little barry bassturd despite the abortion issue which democrats use for an empowerment scheme.
