Newt is free and independent. Trump uses him as an advisor.

And that's the way it is.

And then screwed up with his anti NRA commentary. He’s not going to win PA and the Midwest being anti gun.


I stopped being a one issue voter years ago.

There is no person alive (except perhaps myself) that agrees with me 100%.

Second, President Trumps has pulled rabbits out of the hat enough for me to give him the benefit of the doubt. Right now he is messing with the left and the media (same thing).

If a gun law is passed (leading up to the off year election) and if President Trump signs it, I will reconsider my support. Right now I think he is just getting into the head of the left.

“Also it crushes republican challengers”

ABSOLUTELY. Now what Kasich? Do you want a repeat of 2016, but probably even worse, given Trump now has a record to run on?

Oh, John, you want a THIRD PARTY. Fine, you’ll likely take more Democrat votes that Trump votes (provided Trump keeps his based locked-down) - so anything to help.

Contrary to your misunderstanding, Newt is the most brilliant mind in Washington. His time line is that of a historian...... very far down the road.

Newt is to be heard and savored

I agree...per my post at 23.

I google Newt every few days. He knows the ins and outs of everything political.

Trump will win 2020 in every state. He is already ahead of obozo’s popularity after the same time in office by 7 percentage points. That is HUGE!! Nobody will come close!1 Oprah?? what a knee slapping joke. McCauliflower is embroiled in a bribery of McCabe during the hilary scam investigation? How about “Colt 45” malt liquor, maxine waters who told us that the russians invaded “Korea’ and calls the despotic leader of North Korea kim “JONG OOM”. I think she is mentally deranged enough to put her on the list and take her guns without due process.

Pres Trump should immediately hire a bunch of spies from other countries, Britain, France, Israel, to begin assembling dossiers on the potential Democrap candidates: Biden, Harris. Pocahontas, Hillary, ...

Then nominate five or six favorable judges to the FISA Court, then use those fictitious dossiers to obtain FISA warrants on all of them.

Then begin wiretapping, surveillance, etc. on all of them and leak the damaging information to Sean Hannity.

Gingrich really has little baggage. Of course there's the picture of him and Pelosi on the couch that everyone goes nuts about.

How come everybody didn't go nuts over Trump sitting next to Feinstein yesterday.

"Actually a ton of speculation that he wasn’t going to run for re-election. MSM has always speculated this, now they can’t. Also it crushes republican challengers

Nip it in the bud"

It also tells those in the media, the (D)'s and many (R)'s that they will not be able to ridicule him or somehow otherwise prevent him from wanting to run again. They won't be able to get him to resign and walk away. He's a fighter and is serious about his MAGA message and solutions.

What's the big deal?

Newt wrote the entire article to explain that, but I guess you were too busy to read it.

I’m aware....One issue.....controversial at that....does not cancel out Newt as a viable candidate.

Very thankful he made this decision this early. And, no, that he has announced another run does offer surprise (a good surprise).

It was felt once in office faced with the challenges and number of adversaries he would go another path come re-election time. If, he had cleaned out the swamp in a more timely manner, we might have seen him waving ‘good bye’. Knowing his job is not yet done, he asks for an opportunity to finish what has begun. IF he is unable to finish this, our political system will forever be changed - for the worse - possibly TYRANNY.

GOD be with you, Mr. President. And may He open the eyes of our population that they might see the truths around them.
We pray for you daily.

Not nearly as brilliant as his sudden anti 2A stance. No amount of “brilliant” will negate the damage from that. Especially if he follows through on recent statements.

I understand the realities of politics and don’t expect 100% agreement with Trump or anyone else.

But when it comes to our gun rights, I am a one issue voter. No compromise, no forgiveness.

The few remaining liberties that government hasn’t abrogated are being held onto tenuously only because DC fears and respects an armed citizenry. If we allow ourselves to be disarmed, the DC assault on liberty will be breath taking. Legislative show & awe followed by a despotism un-imagined by most people.
