Newt ran out of ideas as soon as he bought global warming, and chummed with Pelosi. Just another D.C. fossil like Sen. McConnell.

First he runs out of ideas, now he wants to run on ideas.
Nice idea with the sofa and Nancy, Pin.

Yeah, someone elses ideas

He sounds good but he’s still a slimy amphibian.

The Running would have been easier if he'd shown better judgement with the sitting.

Maybe he has no idea, and he just keeps finding them, kinda like Obuma.

Agree or disagree with any portion of what Newt stands for and I'm with yah. I can find many things on both sides with him, myself....
BUT...
I do like what he's been saying so far. He's right...stop the goofy questions that attack each other and concentrate on why each would make a good President. After all...THAT's what we are here for and want to hear!

Actually I find Newts answers the smartest of the bunch. He has no chance of being president but I do think he is great at defining the terms of the debate. Has Newt had some goofy ideas? Yeah, but a lot more good ones.

I like the fact that he doesn’t accept questions built on false premises. He attacks the premises then says what he would do. More of our side should learn to do that.
