On Meet the Press today Newt came down hard on the establishment in a counterattack when DG brought up the establishment’s criticism of him. He basically said what the establishment has done to this country in the last 10 years is indefensible and he is all too happy to be running against them. It was a powerful statement because I know it will resonate with most people. Newt’s almost varnishing himself with a teflon coating here. The more the establishment attacks him, the more he can claim he is the anti-establishment choice, which will only make him more popular with primary voters, at least all the ones who aren’t fat and happy Wall Street investment bankers and hedge fund traders.
Yup. Newt’s emerging as the true anti-establishment Tea Party leader, plus more.
If Newt wins nomination and eventually presidency—which I firmly believe he will—then it’s going to be an interesting time to be alive.
