Why must everyone be a geriatric?…
He did a good job before, but the GOP dumped him.
he’s out of touch and likely compromised.
No one that would actually be good will get enough votes. I say, give it to the dems.
So he can get rolled again?
Possibly as some sort of advisor to the Speaker, or as the Speaker’s Chief of Staff, because he knows how mechanically to get things done, but not as the Speaker himself.
I agree with the others - he’s definitely too old, and he may also be Deep State compromised.
Obvious choice. /S
Effective? He supported amnesty several times, and helped pass many disastrous trade deals. Support of China alone should be enough for a good tar and feather. Any more effective and we won’t have America any more. Newt has always been part of the problem, just as most Republicans are.
We need new blood in the speaker slot.
I like Newt Gingrich. However the probability of a non-House member being elected Speaker of the House is probably <1%.
Next question.
He is a polished RINO....part of the problem. He is an established D.C. (was) figure that capitulated and did the bowing down to get things done ....politically spineless and all for show as the money and debt just rocketed ...
Almost anyone but McCarthy. He is tainted goods. Very tainted. Like sh*t stained tainted.
Newt has some interesting insights, now and again. But enough with these professional, life-long politicians. I know there are worse choices than Newt. But there also have got to be better ones.
No, he’s been wrong about everything lately.
He was good until he let me down.
“What About Newt Gingrich For Speaker?”
He’s too young. We need someone a bit older. Is Jimmy Carter still alive?
Same old thing, over and over....Lets elect professional career politicians since people from the private sector are just too damn stupid to do the job the professional career politicians and life long bureaucrats do.
Wasn’t he treated with the John Boehner/Paul Ryan award?
Trump has already endorsed McCarthy...case closed.
Been calling for that for almost a year...
He was, relatively, the best speaker of the past 60 years, based on accomplishments...
While I always referred to him as the “Pillsbury Doughboy”, he was the only GOP speaker to fight for individual freedom & liberty...
The endless string of communists, closet-communist supporters, and professional surrender monkeys has got to be terminated...
