Newt Gingrich joined Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren on Monday to explain the reasoning behind what’s becoming widely known as the “Trump phenomenon.”
“It’s like a science fiction film, where you shoot at him and he gets bigger,” Gingrich said. “You’re dealing with somebody who is totally different from anybody in modern politics.”
Gingrich said if Donald Trump’s poll numbers continue at 25 percent or higher, he will win the Republican nomination for president.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives expounded on the fact that Trump can play by his own rules because, unlike the the political establishment – he’s beholden to no one.
Gingrich called Trump the biggest “communicator of earned media, maybe in American political history.” He explained that Trump is free to be himself, and wherever he goes, the media will follow.
“It’s unbelievable,” he said.
Gingrich also touched on Hillary Clinton’s floundering candidacy, predicting she likely won’t be the next Democrat nominee for president.
“If Hillary implodes, you’re going see a vacuum like you haven’t seen in years,” he said.

OK, let’s play the game of .... who has the “gravitas” to takes her place.

Elizabet Warren
25%? Newt might be right, but I’d been thinking if Trump gets above 30% and holds there, then he’ll win.
And there you have it. The Newtster has just announced that the establishment is caving... someone other than Jeb might be the Republican candidate.
“Elizabeth Warren”
Nah, she’d have to leave the sweat lodge!
Lord, I hope so.
That will depend on where the supporters of those who drop out gravitate to.
Jeb’s strategy was winning the Republican nomination with Democrat votes.
Now it looks like Dems may have to start voting for Dem candidates in the primaries....
Which is why people like him............................
Trump has shown the potential to do the former, and unbridled success at the latter.
No...CRUZ/ Trump 2016! :)
"I’m going to be the nominee. It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee."
If you think The Don will play second banana...you don’t know The Don.
He definitely has gravy-tas.
