Truthfully, when any of our candidates are behind or lose, they all come across a petulant. I have heard the same from all.
Don’t you agree?
You know, I honestly don’t know. The best way I can think to answer your question is to say that I’m not particularly impressed with any of our candidates, even those who have already dropped out, even though it is apparent that they are all better men/ women than Obama.
It doesn’t seem to me that America is producing actual conservative patriots much anymore. If she is, they aren’t running for high office.
What Newt said though is essentially calling voters stupid, and no doubt, a large number of them are, and a damn good portion of our population is in fact stupid.
However, one running for president doesn’t say this. To do so is in and of itself stupid. A presidential candidate needs more tact than this. For all of Newt’s intelligence, which he certainly does have, he fails as a salesman.
If one is attempting to sell a product to a potential customer and the customer does not seem to want it, seems difficult to perseude, one does not close the deal by calling the potential customer stupid, even if the customer is stupid. If I had to guess, I’d say the saleman just burned a huge number of bridges.
