Thanks - I remember it well.
I agree that the Republican Left wing played a powerful role in the destruction of Gingrich.
However, once again, Gingrich, a political historian, was completely unprepared for the attacks that came from within his own Party.
The GOP Left has been attacking Conservatives since Teddy Roosevelt was president 115 years ago, but Gingrich never saw it coming, and he actually expected the GOP Left to defend him against the Democrats.
But, in the end, Gingrich also betrayed the Conservatives who put their faith in his leadership.
Since 2000, Gingrich has repeatedly attacked Conservatives on immigration, environmental issues, and basic governance issues.
Speaking personally, I will never forgive him for that, and I will never trust him again as a leader.
Agreed about Newts character and actions. The takeover I linked to has put the GOP in the hands of GOP-E ever since. Conservatives agenda was tossed aside and Boehner took over.
