When asked by ABC News what he feared the most about the incoming Trump administration, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said it was that “they would lose their nerve.” […]

“Look, they’re going to arrive in Washington, and for them to be successful, they have to stake out positions that Donna [Brazile] will not like and the Left will hate,” Gingrich explained.

You don’t get where Trump is, doing multi billion dollar business deals in New York by losing your nerve.

And Newt thinks Trump is going to get weak kneed NOW?

I’m glad he said it.

It may be 180 from the truth but it will help his cabinet make sure it never comes true.

DC has a new work ethic coming to town and they will adjust or get run over.

Yes, that began the great spiral downward, culminating in the Marxist Muslim.

Illustrating yet again the wisdom of the Trump Administration not offering an inside position to Gingrich.

Yep - don't know what happened to Newt but he sounds like he's the one losing the faith.
