Reagan also endorsed his fair share of RINO’s. Things have changed recently, but back then, Reagan new the importance of compromise & negotiations for the circumstances given. I feel quite certain if Reagan were at this point he would have handled things quite differently.
I don’t know for sure, but I think Newt realizes, finally, that things & settings have changed as well & has adjusted accordingly.
Folks here get really ugly over primaries...folks should look at 1999-2000
Bachmann, Perry and even Cain got smacked around by some Palin over the top types.
Now most of them have gone to Cain so one can expect Newt is now in their sights and they are unhappy.
My two gals didn’t make the finals..
hence Newt is my pick of last three standing...it’s just how it is
for Cain folks...they can hope for the best..it’s still Romney’s to lose
but Mitt’s folks have to know should Cain or Newt drop out then Mitt’s road gets a lot harder
Cain just lost 46% of his women’s vote and big chunk of self identified tea party folks..likely women
it’s obvious where they went
