How does this equate to "breaking with Trump"???
Too many trying to make too much of the small crap - Tokyo Rose anyone????
I encourage all the Tokyo Rose types to do two things to redeem themselves: Donate to a candidate and Donate to FR while they are at it.

How does this equate to "breaking with Trump"?
Literally, because Trump did not endorse McCain. Most conservatives believe that's because McCain is a GOPe RINO. On the subject of endorsing McCain, Gingrich broke with Trump and endorsed the GOPe RINO. Seems fairly obvious.
Here's the video:

What a disappointment!
I have long been a fan of Newt. Despite his penchant for never having an unspoken thought he is a wealth of information and ideas. [I even took his “college course” back in the 90s]
But endorsement of McCain is around the bend! McCain is entitled to respect for his military service, but has been an outstanding disaster in politics!

So many in AZ just don’t know any other candidate but McPain: they never get enough!

Newt is an establishment globalist. Do not trust this man. He talks a good game, that’s all.

Because Newt endorses one who Trump has not opted to endorse does not a rift make. One doesn't have to be a cloned yes-man to be one's ally.
Newt has also disagreed with Trump on a few of his past comments - all the while being a strong supporter.
We need fewer Tokyo Roses and more of those who actually invest themselves in the task of keeping Hillary out of the WH and FR viable.....
Once again - strongly suggest you donate to a candidate if you haven't been and to Donate to FR while you are at it (if you haven't already done so)..

Great post. And some things I din’t think about.
You’re right. Why is he supporting Mccain? unless he’s part of the establishment too.
There’s a war for the party control, and you’re either with us or against us, imho.

I guess we’ll just have to agree that we have different ideas on whether someone can “break with Trump” on one issue or if it has to be all or nothing.

I guess well just have to agree that we have different ideas on whether someone can break with Trump on one issue or if it has to be all or nothing. And whether one should pull one's own weight and invest in what they supposedly believe in.....

That’s not treasure, Newt. Now, step back and flush it.
