Newt fights! That is the under-reported characteristic the has many Repub voters cheering for him. Like Lincoln who went throught a dozen generals until he got that smoking, drinking, cussing, irreverant General U. S. Grant. He fights!
Newt is a pit bull. He grew up on Army bases and is very familiar with our military history. My gut tells me he will be a no nonsence Pattonesque leader. We need strength now. .
