Sorry, but I can’t agree with you there. To put Newt in the same category as that doddering old grandpa Dole....or that slimy “hero”..ahem..McCain....is nothing short of ridiculous. Not even close.
Think whatever you want of him, but Newt’s IQ is off the charts. He’s a Constitutional scholar and historian. He is eloquent. He understands conservatism at its core. He learned the hard way that he can’t and shouldn’t always try to be popular or liked.
The man learned a lot from his mistakes, and he did one hell of a lot right back in the ‘90’s.
I’d vote for him in a heartbeat, while I had to hold my nose to vote for Dole and McCain.

Not going to win. It will be a disaster if he gets the nomination. The left (and the MSM) will have a field day with him.
I wish the bashers would at least be honest enough to tell us who they DO support, how they could beat obummer, and how they could act quickly and decisively enough to save our country.
All they want to do come in and "drive by bash".
That is demeaning to FR.
