“After over 7 years of being on the receiving end of this kind of rhetoric, we’re fed up Newt. You establishment people just don’t get it yet.”

El correcto. Trump not being a politician is taking a different path. So far it appears to be working. Now Newt tell me again on how to run for President and succeed?

Meanwhile, former First Lady, former Senator, former Secretary of State and now DemoncRatic Presidential Contender Hillary “Benghazi-Email” Clinton Barks like a Dog at her Campaign Rally and Trump is considered the crazy one.

Is this a great Country or what?

dark PAC dollars


does this mean you’re opposed to Citizens United then?
Or does this mean you want only millionaires and billionaires to run for political office since they don’t need “dark PAC dollars” to get their message out...

when my youngest was born, my wife sent in the form to see Bozo (Bob Bell, I think at the time). she was 4 when we finally got our tickets our oldest was 10.

bozo was THE ticket, he was hotter than (well I don’t know who’s hot now, maybe Britney Spears?)

it’s a shame there weren’t VCR’s or recordings that I could have preserved.

and btw, none got to play the bucket game...

years later, we installed water line to a guys pool in Mt. Prospect IL, and he had all this Bozo, Cookie, and Wizzo stuff on is walls. Turned out it was Marshal Brodien’s (Wizzo) home. (I never met him though, my partner did).

I’ve said since the beginning we have nothing but a group of idiots running. Where are the smart Conservatives? You need intellect to be President. I don’t see any.

Newt doesn't get Trump's strategy.

Trump knows that to win, he has to blow up the existing, established rules for winning.

And that automatically means going outside and setting his own rules and controlling the narrative. He has done this marvelously.

Trump didn't just get inside his opponents' OODA loops, he destroyed their OODA loops and replaced them with his own OODA loop which is unbreachable by his opponents.

Considering that Gingrich was never nearly as successful as Trump in the Presidential election, perhaps Newt should be taking notes from Trump and not complaining.

Hate to break it to you Newt, but we’ve been calling the GOP “The Stupid Party” for quite some time.

The gentile GOP-e candidates each say horrible things about the other candidates in their commercials and negative ads.

During the debates they do 180 degree turn, using a false personality based on syrupy politeness.

Says Newt ..the one that savaged Romney relentlessly

Makes sense. Mitt Romney is more Conservative than Donald Trump.

Exactly!! Trump is the ONLY one who has completely destroyed El Yeb.

If not for Trump, we’d be seeing the Clinton coddler, award giver Jeb! in the lead, or at least tied with the other GOPee candidates.

Show me any position where Trump is more Conservative. Taxes? Trump wants to raise them. Health care? Trump wants the federal government to fund it. Property rights? Trump believes that belongs to the person with the most influence. Amnesty? Trump wants to expedite the return of illegals.

So help me understand. How is Trump more Conservative than Romney?

Newt should have provided advice to Dole, McLame and Romney. Now that a candidate is actually going to win he pipes in.
