“Voters overwhelmingly disagree.”
That was a non sequitur. You are illogically attempting to claim that anyone in an election that doesn’t win has no business running.
A second illogical point you are trying to make is that the election is over. It isn’t.
“That was a non sequitur. You are illogically attempting to claim that anyone in an election that doesn’t win has no business running.”
No it wasn’t. You declined to address my main point, and posited another, to which I responded. You then whined “non-sequitur”.
Is it a non-sequitur to point out that voters don’t want Newt? I don’t think so.
“A second illogical point you are trying to make is that the election is over. It isn’t.”
No, the point I am making is that Newt could never have gotten the nomination, given his issues, which you and most other Newt fans dismiss humorously and minimalistically by pre-emptively admitting he’s “not perfect, but....”
Newt usurped the “conservative” mantle because the big-government moderate that he really is (his actions, not his words) candidate slot was already occupied by Romney, and he knows you can fool conservatives by simply talking like one (we’ve been so beaten down since Reagan).
Newt had no business running. He never had a chance. He will throw in with Romney if he can get enough delegates to matter to Romney.
