Be honest about the other candidates....
Mitt Romney has Romneycare. That is an absolutely horrible thing he will not be able to sufficiently explain away. He is a bigger flip-flopper than John Kerry.
Cain: C’mon. He is is smart, nice guy. Great story. But he clearly was out of his league on stage with Newt. 999 has no realistic chance. It may be a tough pill to swallow for you Cain people, but be honest.... he is not prepared to be president. He just isn’t.
Perry: Crashed and burned for good reason. He can barely complete a sentence. His “illegal alien yardworker” attack on Romney was the lamest thing I have ever seen. ....especially since Romney was already attacked for this back in 2007. Perry comes off as a dunce that just spews out, poorly, the talking points his advisors feed him. Terrible.
Santorum: Good guy. Great experience. Can’t get past 2%.
Paul: Half brilliant, half nuts. Will never appeal to more than the 7% or 8 % he currently does.
Bachmann: Crashed pretty hard. Fairly solid on issues, but sounds like half broken record/half saleswoman. Will never again be a top-tier candidate this election.
Huntsman: Wasting his time and money.
I have supported Newt before the 2008 election when it looked like he might get in. I followed Newt closely between then and now. I supported Newt when he got in the race at about 12%. I supported Newt when he was down to 3% and his candidacy declared “dead”. I continue to back and preach Newt Gingrich. He has the potential to be one of our great presidents. Newt is bouncing back on substance... in spite of the media. Quit believing the media narrative that “Newt can’t win” ....or “Newt has too much baggage.” That is all BS. Romneycare is real baggage because Obamacare was modeled off of it, and it negatively affects everyone in the country. Now is the time for you doubters to give Newt that second chance.
Excellent assessment. It's too bad others can't, or won't, think objectively.
