Newt Gingrich Is Bullish on Donald Trump
Slate ^ | 3/23/16 | Isaac Chotiner

Posted on 03/23/2016 8:46:37 PM PDT by tatown

So why are Trump’s negatives so high, if he is giving a voice to the masses?

Look, Trump has been campaigning in a Republican primary with harsh language and has been routinely attacked by the elite media as much as they can. Reagan went through the same cycle. Do you know how many points Reagan was behind Carter in March?

It was double digits, right?

Twenty-five. Not just double digits. Twenty-five points. So if you had talked to me in March of 1980, you would have said, “How can I support this crazy right-winger who makes movies with chimpanzees and is 25 points behind Carter?” And I would have said, “Because I think he can win.” Which, by the way, he did.

Is there really nothing that worries you about this guy? The way he deals with reporters, his campaign manager, etc.? You are not at all worried he has authoritarian tendencies?

No. No. [Laughs.] Which part of that is supposed to bother me?

That his campaign manager may have assaulted a reporter?

Oh c’mon. Did you ever look at it?

I have looked at it, many times.

That’s an assault?

He grabbed her arm very hard.

There was a time then Mr. Newt was vilified on this site as a traitor to conservatism and the country. My how times have changed.

Gingrich is toxic. Two old males with misogyny issues would not be a winning ticket.

I am glad Newt is warming to Trump. However, he is a loser on a ticket despite his experience.

Bob Dornan called Newt the most corrupt member of the House.

Newt gives as good as he gets. We need more of this.

For many people, that seems to be inconceivable because they have a university Ph.D. theory of being smart.

Words to live by.

Newt’s part is good but this is really more of an expose of the leftie pajama-boy intereviewer. When he says:

“thuggish contempt for reasoned debate”

That tells me all I need to know about which way his pinkie points when sipping his tea...

I looked at that video over and over again and saw nothing. I don't get that assault charge.

Go Trump!
