I find it difficult to believe Newt is this stupid, or this tone deaf.

Gotta disagree. He sat on that loveseat with Pelosi, for cryin' out loud, and appeared with Hillary, of all people, to push for a federal medical records program. And don't forget his idiotic endorsement of Scuzzi.

He has shown he is completely assimilated into the Beltway mindset and is tone-deaf to the concerns of flyover country conservatives.

I would only have been shocked if Newt had show an ability to grasp the current political realities out in the grassroots.

You make a great case. Not sure how smart Newt is, but he’s demonstrated beyond debate that he’s completely tone deaf.

I agree with you. I think for so many years he has gotten used to the idea of people coming to him for wisdom he has stopped hard instrospection and reasoning.

You would think that by now, after Gingrich posed with Pelosi on that couch in those “Green” propaganda adds, that these people would have figured this guy out by now.

And yet , they all sound so surprised when he still bites the hand that feeds him.
