1. They well may have a point and be right, especially in multi-team tournaments.
2. If you read the post more carefully, it is really not about who is "better" but mostly to inform many people, who are still ignorant about what was really happening in Newt's life, and who believe and often unwittingly help spread the lies about him, his achievements and his ideas, and what the Tea Party needs to do now and in the future not to be the patsies of GOPe ... and what the GOPe is capable of when their power is threatened.
This is more than just about "winning" or "losing" one game, it's about learning from the game's mistakes, hopefully early enough to correct them while the game is still on and not keep making the same mistakes again later. It's about learning and learning process.
Too many people stuck on stupid, stuck on cliche, stuck on hate, stuck on ignorance around here.
Of course, Newt will never waste a second of his life posting things about them on a message board, a notion that no doubt whooshes right over the head of these IQ envious dolts.
