None any where near what the people I mentioned experienced.
My point is that his past may prevent him from becoming President.
Here’s an interesting site for a bio of Gingrich

His past may indeed keep him from becoming President. Or not. From a Biblical perspective, you could make both cases. I humbly submit both are possible and simply disagree with those who say that his past is an automatic disqualifier.
I would also point to the fact that there is a lot of good in his past. In fact, in all of his PC or liberal dalliances, none of it led to substantive negative change. Meanwhile, the Contract w America congress led to some great positive change.
