If he can perform this action any forth grader can understand, “close the border”, it will not be for naught.

No other candidate would promise that.

I think what it says about Newt is more important.

That picture will never go away no matter how many times Newt apologists attack anyone who dare mention it.

Newt is ruling class.

to post that picture indicates your gross ignorance and perhaps even your stupidity

Facts are painful aren't they?

I don’t think Newt is being negative towards Trump. Just calling it the way he sees it. Newt actually brings quite a bit of praise to the Trump campaign.

Many years ago, when I was in training as a radio announcer, I was advised to not try and show off my vocabulary, but speak in simple words and phrases. To speak at about a 5th grade level.

Listeners don’t want to need a thesaurus and a dictionary to figure out what you’re saying. Also, keeping it simple leaves less room for misunderstandings, not to mention making it easier to ad lib.

To many politicians try to impress journalists with tech-speak, and go over the heads of their audience.

In daily discourse, people don’t use big words in normal conversation, and the communicate with each other just fine.

I don’t think he talks at a fourth grade level. I think at his stump speeches, he spends too much time talking about the history of his campaign.

It’s smart to speak above the 4th grade level. However, if you want to win the presidency, it’s wise to speak at the 4th grade level, even when you are smart enough to speak above it.

You lack the wisdom to understand this.

By the way, your only talent is ad hominem.

People are under the impression a VP and a President are supposed to be buddies. That is not the historic relationship. It is usually a position given to the loyal opposition to unify a party, etc.

Newt fancies himself an elitist intellectual.

“It’s smart to speak above the 4th grade level. “

I ‘spoke’ to you above your grade level. You missed my point.

Good points. But I hate pandering. Maybe it works, but I still hate it. As far as the gender gap goes, I think Hitlery is a turn off to many women. She comes across as shrill and angry and the only women who really seem to support her are those with a feminist (in the ugly sense of the word), anti-male, or lesbian agenda.

Everyone behold the all-knowing TexasGator, who through its vast powers of intellect and omniscience has been able to discern the educational level of a fellow freeper whom it has never met in real life.

None of us are worthy of TexasGator’s perfect and omniscient presence!

LOL!
