Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich slammed Republicans who refused to back Donald Trump during the general election as "whiny, sniveling negative cowards" Wednesday night, less than 24 hours after Trump was elected president.
"[A] Donald Trump [administration is] going to be among the most extraordinary, creative, inventive, exciting periods in all of American political history," Gingrich told Fox News' Sean Hannity on "Hannity". "Let [the 'Never Trump' movement] drift off into the ashbin of history while we go ahead and work with Donald Trump and with the House and Senate Republicans to create a dramatically new future."

“In this *particular* matter (getting them to jump aboard or shut up) a little “diplomacy” just might be in order. “
Agreed. Politics is the art of getting what you want. Ryan is in a VERY weak position right now, and the best way to deal with him is to extort the little shit into behaving.
Trump can always get him fired later, but right now, the VERY last thing Trump needs to do is start a public, civil war inside of the GOP. Trump won’t do that, because Trump is a smart man that KNOWS HOW TO NEGOTIATE A GOOD DEAL.
You can bet your bottom dollar that Trump has negotiated deals with MANY people that hate his guts, and come out with win-win deals.
There’s no doubt Trump will figure out a way to use Paul Ryan without having to even trust him.
“He will initially manage and assess what is going on, then make changes as needed.”
That’s the exact process any GOOD manager or CEO undertakes when they take over a new department or corporation.
I would therefore suggest that “Hannity” be closely watched by anyone here who REALLY wants to know what President Trump is going to do, how he’s going to do it, and the level of toughness Trump will bring to his Presidency.

I hope this is the case and that Trump will be selective with the old media. Most of them are biased, corrupt and need to be ignored while they dry up and die.
Now, that’s an interesting take. Build the Wall (and any other infrastructure needed for correcting our immigration problems, such as detention centers for criminals to be shipped home) as a major and “must be included” portion of an infrastructure spending bill.
“and that Trump will be selective with the old media. Most of them are biased, corrupt and need to be ignored while they dry up and die.”
He’s already started doing it:
That’s good, but I think it would be best if he invited the few that can be trusted, and that includes the new media.
These are people who have been our close brothers and sisters. Spats and divisions happen. Let's get beyond this to make tomorrow better.
If Jim unbanned people, this is his reasoning, too.
I have been banned in the past for coming down hard on one or two persons and Jim forgave me. Let's offer reconciliation from our hearts while we hold each other accountable in our quest to be better men and women.
I was mistaken, C. Edmund Wrong is still zotted. His home page was left up by the mods with these words at the top
THIS ACCOUNT OPUS’D OUT VIA PROFANE PERSONAL ATTACKS AGAINST FELLOW FREEPERS AND PROFANITY LACED FREEPMAIL. WORST CASE OF SUICIDE BY MOD WE’VE EVER SEEN.

He was superior to most FReepers. He used to tell us so in almost every post.
No way. Conway would do nicely. Or KT McFarland. Or Monica Crowley.
Bring Chris McDaniel into the inner circle over the Turtles McConnell, Haley Barbour, and Thad Cochrane.
I just lo-o-o-ve your “compassion”! ;-) Agree with you 100%!! Get rid of the waste!!
“That’s good, but I think it would be best if he invited the few that can be trusted, and that includes the new media.”
Agreed. Can’t wait to see President Trump offer rides on Airforce One to ONLY A SELECT FEW!
>> whiny, sniveling negative cowards
and irrelevant.
I was wondering if he will actually use it. His own plane is obviously more his style.
He has to for security reasons alone. Now he might be able to do some decor changes but who knows.
