It makes little common sense to lump failed marriages in with family crises involving children’s welfare.
Yes they are families, but failed marriages are legion.
While some situations even destroy the children’s welfare, too, and all involved become estranged and bitter, such is less often the case than is the common nature of failed marriage.
Newt is very close to his daughters and his two grandchildren. These bonds speak well.
Not to someone who is so in the tank for another, he would conflate failed marriages with sick and dying babies in another family, however.
Also as is known, Newt married his teacher after an extended fling in high school. That was not a typical marriage.
His second wife is another bad story and to avoid airing in public, I say do some research.
Failed marriage does not equal Santorum family trouble with health and life of its children.
Unless your goal is to bend the attitude toward Newt curve further downward, as if that hadn’t already been done enough.
In the tank? My candidates either never run or were chased out by ennui, scandal or the endless series of useless debates. See, this is what makes a hard edge for Santorum supporters. We won’t be pushed, and I’d hope we can’t be bought. Newt is not a factor anymore. I consider him a fine conservative leader, but not for the presidency in this group. I have seen no positive uplift of Newt that didn’t have to belittle opposition to him, other than the admins who have let their positions be known and then sit back and let others speak.
Newt’s Southern strategy has failed, and he has no other pathway to the nomination. I don’t seek to tear Newt down, but I respond in kind to what is thrown at us. Now we may have to deal with unpleasant facts on the ground. New York money will buy the nomination for Willard.
