Good! I am glad to hear that. You know, this may be the first good thing that Romney has ever done in his public life. If he submits to continuing as a live fire practice dummy, Newt will be very well trained for taking on the primary narcissistic empty suit: Barack Hussein Obama.
I think that part of the debate was scripted on both sides. Newt was prepared for plan A, but not for plan B. I think Newt was coached to let it go because it would be a lose, lose for him to go after Romney, tit for tat.
I think it was a calculation on Romney's handlers to get Newt angry. To try & goad Newt into a mistake, a gaff, to use against him later. In that effort they failed.
Like I said Newt got a bloody nose, no knock out for Romney, and Romney came off looking like a bully.
I call it a draw, but Romney needed a win and he didn't get it.
Santorum & Paul ..... why were they there?
Actually Paul is far more entertaining. He is a man of his convictions (many wrong headed), while Santorum keeps telling us he is, but his actions have always been political expedient.
Easy to make a point. Take a look at his campaign 4 years ago.
Newt Gingrich support the idea of healthcare mandate back in 2008. Take a look for yourself

And if you can stomach this video from Feb 2009

Because he is part liberal/ part conservative. He is too emotional and doesn’t have a strong attitude and he defends wrong/ ie, romneycare to the death.
I keep asking for proof Romney is even a republican!
2008? That was then, this is now.
I'm not sure he did either. IMHO he went on far too long, and appeared far too disorganized and desperate.
Newt has demonstrated that, so far, cash isn't as big a factor as well-executed strategies.
Obama sees his strength in part from a billion dollar war chest.
Read Sun Tzu.
If that is the case then you could really love Romney. Does your beliefs from 4 years ago change today. I didn’t think so.
It was a hit, but it came at the end of such a nonsensical onslaught, I'm not sure who was still listening.
I understand that Mitt has been taking Ex-Tenz for some time now. He is still hopeful.
The 15% any investor pays is on top of the 25-35% already collected on his part interest in the property (retained earnings), the corporation. Just like dividends paid from the corporation, it is nearly double taxation on investment.
I have personally met Newt. I really like his current thoughts so I can see your interest. The problem arises when you look at his past as recently as 2009. It makes Kerry look like Honest Abe.
