At a larger-than-expected town hall event at Pinkerton Academy on Sunday evening, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich laid out his claim as the best Republican alternative to defeat President Obama.
Telling the audience that the country needs a conservative Reagan Republican to make an articulate case against Obama’s failed liberal policies, Gingrich touted his work helping Reagan achieve victories in the early 1980s and his role as Speaker of the House passing legislation under President Clinton in the ‘90s.
Although he spent most of his 90 minutes focused on Obama, Gingrich did make the case for why he would be a more effective nominee than perceived frontrunner Mitt Romney.
Of all the candidates, Newt is the only one who can sell conservatism. Newt’s debate comment about the discrimination against Catholic services was brilliant. None of the other candidates could have said it as well. Politics is about ideas. Dems are pushing their corrupt ideas all the time. I want someone on our side selling our ideas. Although imperfect, Newt is the only real salesman on the stage.
