Of course, I didn’t know him personally, but you’re right. Republicans cave. Great speaker, great thinker. He sure seems to like Cruz and Trump. I wish there’s a place for him in the next administration. I mean seriously, how about over seeing NASA.
He was once a hero. I went to his rallies, put out yard signs, donated money and read his books. When his Big Red Bus rally stopped at Williamson Brothers Bar-B-Q, I stood at the back of the crowd and was lucky enough to have a friendly conversation with his ex-wife, Marianne, and the CNN Reporter Bob Franken. We mostly spoke of the idea for the last book Newt had written at the time.
It's funny, I made some comments of the lies and distortions of the Media, in the sense that a book can provide corrections and straighten out distortions. After the rally ended, while I was talking with some neighbors, Bob Franken walked by, turned to look at me and said, "I am the media too you know", I snapped right back that I knew that, and CNN Bob walked off in a snit.
As far as Newt Gingrich being a part of a new administration, I think not. I would rather he stay in the private sector and contemplate what might have been like the rest of us.
