It was a disgrace what was done to Gingrich. I remember it well and I was ashamed how the Republicans attacked one of their own for doing nothing more than helping the conservative cause. History repeats itself.
At the time it happened, I agreed with you. Now having more than a decade to see how Newt has conducted himself, I think a lot more of this incident and his resulting resignation was because of how Newt, as Speaker, had completely alienated so many of his fellow Republicans.
Some may think that’s a positive trait.
But I don’t see it really working well if Newt becomes President.
