You are mistaken about Newt.
The problem with him is not that he’s a RINO, it is that he is a Republican. He is very much a man of the traditional partisan system. That is why he supported Scozzafava. Because she was the Republican.
He will always support the Republican establishment candidate.
‘He will always support the Republican establishment candidate.’
Anyone who expects that the Chairman of the RNC won’t support GOP candidates is smoking some good stuff. The main job of the party chairman is to shake the money tree. It would be nice if they did not try to interfere in candidate selection, especially since they are so bad at it.
