GINGRICH: How do you explain 23 minutes on his tape and less than a minute total on the WikiLeaks speeches by Hillary?
RADDATZ: There was a lot of attention on that tape; there's been a lot of attention with what Mr. Trump has said since about the women who were accusing him of assault. I want you to listen to one of them.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
TRUMP: Believe me, she would not be my first choice, that I can tell you. Man. You don't know; that would not be my first choice.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
RADDATZ: He appears to be attacking these women's looks. Is that appropriate?
GINGRICH: No, I think it's stupid. And I'm -- look, I'm --
RADDATZ: Is that way the coverage continues?
GINGRICH: No, the coverage continues because you want it to continue. The fact is, Trump did not set out to get 23 minutes against himself and less than a minute on -- and I think that's a devastating number. Which came, by the way, from "The Hill".
But here's my point, and I've said this publicly, there's a Big Trump and there's a Little Trump. The Big Trump is a historic figure. The Big Trump beat 16 other people for the nomination. The Big Trump is creating issues that make the establishment very uncomfortable. The Little Trump frankly gets out -- is stupid. I mean, that comment just then is dumb. And I don't defend him when he wanders off; I've told him over and over. You know, presidents have to be disciplined, and in that sense Hillary is probably better trained to be president, just because she's the most corrupt person to ever get the nomination of a major party.
