Rick S. is a nice person though he cannot stand up to Obama. Newt can do a better delivery in making a liberal think of where the other’s ideas are coming from. These guys (both Ricks) should get behind Newt. The splitting of votes only helps Mitt.
Newt can be brilliant. He can be the smartest guy in the room.
But then he absolutely backbreaks you when the crunch comes. Every time. He says what he thinks, and what he thinks isn’t always well considered.
As an idea man, great, but as president? No. I want someone who I can trust to do the right thing, not someone I have to keep an eye on to make sure he doesn’t do something disastrously stupid.
