Not great, but I am REALLY REALLY hoping Ryan loses next week. That would be the greatest event of the year.

John McCain turns 80 years old this month. It is high time he retires and rids us of his personality.

These guys never ever leave. How much more can they want?

Our side’s NOT filled with lock step little mindless robots... Good for Newt. It’s not like McCain is running for President... he’s running for re-election as a Senator ...

The Washington Post wants a food fight because their small minded haters...

How many times do we have to post that Gingrich is the quintessential DC insider before some finally get it?

I never read his whole story about Vietnam and I really appreciate that he fought and was brutally treated as a POW, but that’s not a reason to keep him in office 40 years later when he’s doing a lousy job.

I don’t care one way or the other who Newt does or doesn’t endorse. I never trusted him.

Newt, shut up when it does not benefit your supposed choice for president. The next thing will be him doing a commercial with Stretch Pelosi endorsing Hildabeast. Shame, shame Newt. Good thing you were not selected as VP, now STFU. I don’t recommend any position in the Trump presidency, although I once thought you would make the best chief of staff.
McLame may have once been “a national treasure,” but his time in D.C. has been far too long and he has drunk the kool aid. Time to retire McLame.

Thank you, TigersEye, for that great list. One of the worst recent things I have seen Senator McCain do is contact the IRS and ask them to investigate Arizona Tea Party organizations. All were opposing him. Another sleazy trick he does here is hold town hall meetings that are stacked with his supporters. The same supporters show up in every town he has a town hall in to shout down conservatives.

All one really has to do to point McCain's RINOism is say "McCain-Feingold" and "McCain-Kennedy."

I never trusted Newt Gingrich after he stonewalled the Judiciary Committee during Clinton Impeachment and wrecked it by forcing everyone to concentrate on Monicagate and not Filegate, Travelgate, the Broaddrick incident and Chinagate. He did that right while Larry Flynt announced his detectives had evidence of Congressmen having affairs and would reveal them if Clinton was impeached. Later Gingrich resigned as it came out he was having an affair with a staffer.

Now Newt Gingrich endorses the most RINO GOPe Amnesty King of All GOPe RINO politicians.

Did he make that endorsement from a couch with Nancy Pelosi?

Not a believer yet. John McCain is the Democrats best plant within the GOP party.

Newt may endorse him, but I don’t think it ‘breaks’ from the Trump camp.

With an endorser like that, who needs political enemies? Trump did well to not choose him as his running mate.
