I’d like to hear why Newt is so bad.
I hear “Global Warming” and “Globalist”.
That’s from a policy perspective.
And the situation with divorcing the wife is also bad.
Newt hasn’t been taking too many constant hits here. Mitt has. The despise level here of Newt is not as high as Mitt.
Republicans do like to give the nomination to candidates for good service. Newt did do a good job 16 years ago. Contract With America did work, and he was a Republican Hero for a short period of time. Since then, a bunch of not so good things, but he does have what would be equivalent to a top 5 win, or multiple top 5 wins. What has Romney done to be the presumptive front runner? Was there last time. He was the Governor of Mass, giving Gay Marriage and Romneycare. That’s not Republican. There are no victories.
Nobody really looked closely at what Bain Capital did, which was break companies up while pocketing big $. Romney did a little too much destroying companies for me.
I would like to hear the anti Gingrich side a little more, because I know so much unacceptable about Romney.

Bullshit!
The “contract with America” was nothing more than Newt’s attempt to jump on the bandwagon when it was glaringly clear that Clinton had infuriated enough people with Hillary Care that there was going to be a landslide in congress.
More importantly, it failed badly. We still have the Education department, the EPA, NPR, the UN, and tons more crap that a success would have obliterated.
Newt had no desire to accomplish any of the above, but one thing he had wanted to do for years was to knock real conservative Bob Dornan out of congress, and he did that, by supporting Loretta Sanchez on the sly.
F Newt.
