people either don’t know or forget that Newt alienated the conservatives who made him Speaker.

I'm obviously one of those who forgot so remind me on what he did.......Thanks.

Maybe you have short memory as well, if I recall, his "Contract With America" allowed the GOP to gain a majority in the House of Representatives in the 1994 election. The first majority of our party in 60 years.....

You don't think that's significant?

The Contract With America came at the start of Newt’s speakership, before Newt began betraying his supporters.

One of his more cowardly episodes was when he threw the woman he chose as House Historian, Christina Jeffrey, under the bus rather than defending her against character assassins trying to smear her as an anti-Semite. It took a leftist from the ADL to come to her defense.

Newtie purloined THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA and took ALL of the credit for something he didn't come up with.

This isn't 1994.....it's 2016 and Trump is the man with the vision and doesn't need Newtie on the ticket.

And obviously, yes, YOU have forgotten a very great deal.
