It's pretty clear this stuff happens, particularly with 20/20 hindsight. It's also clear that Newt (and the others) did not have the capacity, the supporters, nor the strategists to pull him through.
Romney won, he was the best candidate this time. Looking back at all the others with the hindsight we have now, I am certain Newt would have been destroyed much worse. This was close, Newt or any of the others would have made it a blow out.
You can check this too: I was a firm supporter of Newt and wanted him to win the nomination.
Even with the clear advantage of multiple Obama administration foreign policy scandals, such as "Fast and Furious," on his side... Mittens could not, after six straight years of campaigning, close the sale versus Obama.
Even with the clear advantage of innumerable Obama administration corruption scandals on his side... Mittens could not, after six straight years of campaigning, close the sale versus Obama.
Even with a U.S. ambassador brutally butchered scant weeks before the election... Mittens could not, after six straight years of campaigning, close the sale versus Obama.
Mittens could not carry Massachusetts, or Michigan. Ryan could not help him carry Wisconsin.
