“What sort of financial gains?”
Who knows? In politics money changes hands in mysterious ways. It smacks of conspiracy theory for sure, but not out of the realm of possibility.
George Soros has a lot of money and a lot of contacts. I could imagine an intermediary brokering a Newt presidential run with the sole purpose of helping Obama. Newt has proven that his number one goal is to help Newt. For the right deal, Newt would make the run.
But as dirtboy pointed out, it’s more likely Newt is just totally out of touch.
Newt doesn’t have a chance. Why would Soros waste money on him? I love conspiracy theories as much as anyone, but they need to be based on some sort of reality.
