You NEVER EVER EVER help someone by shooting your mouth off in public talking negatively.
If Newt really was a sage and wanted to help right now, he’d clarify what Charlottesville truly was and respect Trump enough to simply back him as a true supporter would.
Newt is always concerned with looking wise first, and not giving a damn about how that impacts anyone else.
By implying Trump us in trouble, Newt betrays him here.
Newt is a first class jerk and reveals here why I never want him intimately involved on my side.
People are absolutely clueless how words can betray, even when they seem to voice a better path.
Newt, STHU.
I’m sorry, but I disagree.
The President has serious problems. His base is still strong, but his long term MOV ratings are down and descending, even with the Korea bump.
He can fix the problem, but HE must, if he wants to.
I hated to raise this, but the best intelligence and prognostication service there ever is or was are the major betting houses in the UK / Commonwealth countries.
Right now, they are accepting bets at about even odds that Mr. Trump leaves office by the end of the year. Remember, the odds are set by the flow of wagered money, not by what someone “thinks.”
I know that sounds ridiculous to us, but there is serious smart money about even on both sides of such an outcome. BTW, most betters backing the “leaving” side see him just getting fed up with all the BS and resigning. Not an impeachment, but a “FU DC” from the president.
Again, sounds like BS to us, but when people (many from the US) are “putting their serious money where their mouth is” on a departure, it’s something I hate, but also something to ponder.
