IMO, learning on the job in six months cannot substitute for knowledge accumulated and leadership excecised over many years.
Our Nation is in great danger, from within and without needs someone who has presidential ability. Given the choice that we have, there aren’t many who fit the jib description.
Newt quit the Speakership over a scandal because (I believe) he got arrogant. Just a few years ago, he appeared in an ad touting global warming with Pelosi. He has had three wives, leaving each of the first two for another woman.
I do not trust him fully. He is very bright and articulate, but self-absorbed. Would he let the Presidency get to his head as he did the Speakership?
