Newt was not given the opportunity to be the leader. Newt earned it because he personally conceived and designed and planned the 1994 GOP victory, when no one else thought it was possible. A strategy that Romney by the way personally disavowed. It wasn’t like he just showed up and they gave it to him like he won a raffle or something.
What has Romney ever won for the party?
Romney is an unreliable conservative who left the MA-GOP in a shambles!

Certainly, Newt did not personally conceive the 1994 GOP victory. And he didn't plan the election strategy for the Republicans that year.
All he did was come up with the lame "Contract with America," which with hindsight, was totally cynical and useless.
I am afraid that we will get the same results that we got after 1994 if Newt gets elected now.
Romney is no better, probably slightly worse. The choices we have are garbage, but Newt is slightly better.
