Agreed, but in his quick and precise wit and wisdom, Newt should be very aware that one of the GREATEST problems in the “establishment” (generally institutions) and specifically in the D.C. government, is ruling elitism. Newt in his communicative skills should balance remarks like this by making it VERY clear that
1) ruling elitism IS a BIG problem in D.C.,
2) the American People ARE generally smarter than the average corrupt politician in D.C. and
3) putting something in simple terms is more of a sign of the speaker’s grasp on the subject and that he speaker (like Trump) does NOT put himself above anyone else.
Unfortunately, I have to disagree with number two on your list. After electing Obama twice, after being so easily led by white house race baiters and main stream media like drooling Oxen with rings in their noses, I am not overly optimistic about the influence of the electorate. My hope is enough of them will stay home protesting not having Bernie on the ballot. Enough will either stay home or vote Green Party to give the election to Trump.
