If GodFather’s Pizza is a major corporation...ok. I don’t believe you have to run a corporation to know how to create jobs. Both Cain and Gingrich know how to create jobs.
As far as the debate, I don’t believe there is a candidate in either party that can hold the stage with Newt. He is an encyclopedia of historical knowledge and facts. He will likely bury anyone he goes up against and would absolutely destroy Obama.
Will he get our nomination? Who knows? But don’t bet against Newt in any debate.
True, but you have to have some experience outside of theoretical economics modeling, or legislating, to do so. That's the problem with most legislators. They've never run a business, or a government - small or large.
Why some people overlook the obvious fact that a person should have at least some prior experience for a job as important as the presidency, is beyond me. You would demand an adequate resume from an applicant for any other position on earth, but when it comes to the US presidency, some people just throw common practices and common sense right out the window.
And guess what? It's not the president's job to create private sector jobs. It's his job to run the executive branch of the federal government, and to be the leader of the country. Beyond that, all he can do to affect the overall economy, is champion free market capitalism, and use the power of his office to get government out of the way of the private sector.
And where is the evidence to support this assumption? Gingrich is a very good talker. His leadership record is pretty bad. In a choice between leading on principal and political expedience Newt has choose expediency every single time.
