I admired Newt in his 2012 run. Too bad him and Santorum could not reach a deal and oppoese Romney one on one.

[Oceander]

And, correspondingly, a 70% chance of not getting the nomination. I like those odds.

[JayGalt]

Newt is slipping.

[Cicero]

Santorum would have edged out Romney, but Gingrich stayed in the race just long enough to knock him out, and then handed it over to Romney. Newt talked a good conservative game, but he made deals with the enemy after he got into office. He turned into a spoiler.

[tflabo]

Newt’s doing his calculations on paper with the rest tallied in the list but in the real world its Trump mostly who gets the big crowds and crossover folks. We shall see what we shall see.

[JennysCool]

Trump is proof positive that politics is too important to be left to the politicians. Certainly, our Congress should be composed of Americans from all walks of life. It shouldn’t continue to be a boatload of lawyers in various degrees of corruption. That would be change we could really believe in.

If Newt had been the nominee, he still would’ve lost. He never recovered from his toxic approval ratings in the ‘90s.

[Vigilanteman]

Newt could have put his ego aside after Santorum whipped him soundly in neighboring Tennessee and Alabama on the same day, but he did not and, thus, ensured Romney's nomination every bit as much as Huckabee's sabotage of Romney in 2008 ensured McCain's nomination.

Who does Newt support?

[Duchess47]

Yes, I’ve always admired Newt.

[heights]

And Cruz if he wins the nomination, has a 100% chance of losing the election, Goldwater style.

[Mariner]

Let’s all give a thanks to Newt for reminding us he’s able to pick a potential future event, with 300 million variables minimum, with a 30% accuracy.

.
Cannot imagine why Noot is suddenly so optimistic about Trump.

No way does Trump have that good of a chance.

[SeaHawkFan]

There are only two Republicans who can win the nomination; Trump and Cruz. All the others are throwing away good money after bad.

[MinuteGal]

Stale stuff from Newt. A lot of words signifying nothing. Just to keep his name up front. I could have done better than he did in this lame article.

Go can some peaches for a while, Newt, and come back with some original thoughts and an endorsement for Trump (....but he'll never have the peach pits to do so, I'm afraid.)
