You still don’t get it. The reason people dislike Newt is not because of things he says. It is his personality and demeanor. If you can’t fix what people don’t like about you, you can’t win.

People say good things all the time. It is talk. Talk is great as long as people trust that you are sincere. Newt hasn’t always done that.

That and coupled with the constant bragging about the wonder of himself is a great big turnoff to many voters. He finishes every interview like that and it spoils what he said before.

He should give his views and allow the people to assign and recognize his wonder instead of always touting it for them.

Like it or not, he is no Reagan in the personality and likability department.

No, YOU still don’t get it. I understand some people don’t like Newt because small unintelligent unaccomplished insecure non-confident people always resent those who are intelligent, accomplished, confident and even arrogant. I get that.

The problem with your breathtakingly shallow analysis is that such sins are always forgiven in difficult times. Winston Churchill was all of those things. In fact, those traits are required for difficult times.

Santorum is equally un likeable, and you cannot ever fix piousness, self righteousness, sanctimoniousness. And never ever will people forgive those sins. Those traits are NEVER EVER liked.
