Newt Gingrich warns GOP: Biden's winning
Axios ^ | 12-2-22 | Mike Allen

Posted on 12/03/2022 3:39:53 AM PST by guinness4strength

President Biden "has carefully and cautiously waged war in Ukraine with no American troops." He just "had one of the best first term off-year elections in history." Nancy Pelosi? Ron Klain? Jill Biden?

No. That was Newt Gingrich — leader of the Republican revolution of 1994, which swept him in as speaker of the House.

"Quit Underestimating President Biden," Gingrich wrote in a column this week. "[C]onservatives' hostility to the Biden administration ... tends to blind us to just how effective Biden has been on his terms."

Why it matters: Gingrich has a point. If you look at Biden's legislative accomplishments, he has exceeded expectations for a Congress where Democrats hold narrow majorities, and a country that's split in two.

Gingrich, 79, told me: "I was thinking about football and the clarity of winning and losing. It hit me that, measured by his goals, Biden has been much more successful than we have been willing to credit."

Yep. The whole thing turned out basically as I predicted: a red fart.

And now, the Dumb-O-Crats will try to cheat — and maybe succeed — a win for the Communist Warnock in Georgia on Tuesday, because a 51-49 Senate would apparently have fewer procedural hurdles against the Dumb-O-Crats than a 50-50-Kamala Senate. Not that Walker won’t make it easier for them to do so . . .

And don’t forget that the democrats, along with corrupted bureaucracies, worked hand in hand with major social media and news media to distort and suppress the republican messaging.

He is right. We were all focused on busses taking wetbacks to blue states. We were also stupidly missing the fact that while we're distracted with that theatre, those people are here. And here to stay.

Conservatives are some of the most manipulatable and obtuse people on earth.

Newt would be correct if he replaced Biden with the Uniparty. I sincerely believe that Biden doesn’t have a clue from day to day. There is an establishment deep state calling the shots. Republicans are in on the deal. Just look at the 19 Republican Senators that consistently voted for “the agenda” the past two years. That wasn’t the Biden agenda. It’s an agenda of the majority, which includes both parties. It’s also the agenda for a majority of Americans, just because they were told so. The problem with America, politics and government is that there are several severely indoctrinated generations that have come out of government schools. It all starts there and it is everywhere in America. The only way a child receives an education at government school is if his parents re-educates him at home every night.

Concur on the abortion decision; I agreed with it but the timing was devastating and then we had fools like Lindsay Graham calling for a nationwide abortion ban right before the election (I still suspect he was told to say this by others). The other thing that made me question the pending results was Newt Gingrich and Clinton’s adviser, Dick Morris, predicting a red tsunami a week before the election. They are always wrong.

The GOPee is entirely unprincipled. They are in this for themselves and their own enrichment. There are some good souls who actually care about the country (GOP, not GOPee), but a lot, if not most of them, are all about neo-Statism and self-enrichment.

They go in apparently principled, then come out much richer and supportive of things like the Cheap Labor Express, and you can always count on the worst of them to try — and sometimes succeed — in overcoming filibusters on such things as the demented “Respect for Marriage Act”, which could require Florida, for example, to recognize child marriages from Michigan, if radical Muslims get the age of consent radically lowered up there.

This is Newt on the couch with Pelosi - the sequel. If you can’t beat them, join them.

Also, Biden barely knows what day it is. What an insult to intelligent people to claim that Biden is orchestrating anything.

So you remember Reagan well that is nice I worked for his Campaign both times.....You are completely all wet on this..the issue is the American Voter. The American Voter is overall is a representation of what is sent to Congress. The American Voter overall is more concerned what Government can do for them and give them than what they can give back to the Country. The American Voter is too absorbed in Dancing with Stars or soccer practice for little Johnny or any other distractions than the state of our Government...Don’t even get me started on the Pot issue, that is just further dumbing down the American Voter and he\she is already in the single digit IQ range and Pot just sends them into the negative IQ range.

Republicans are too timid and weak to fight back in any real way…

Many are compromised and caught in the deep state web of corruption. timid because they know who holds their careers in hand, weak only because they are willfully in on it or worried they might have the deep state spot light shine on them and destroy them.

Newt looked like a fool with ideas from 40 years ago.

The Swamp has no accountability.

He waited a day after getting it so wrong, and then predicted a Red Tidal Wave in 24.

People like Newt have been in the DC bubble for too many years and are totally unable to see that what is happening is worldwide and cannot be fixed with some repukes being nice guys.

We have not been angry enough and outraged enough.

What you are going to see now with the weak sister return of the white glove RINOs is a massive rejection at the polls in 2024. People know the game is rigged.

Newt needs to get in an RV and travel America or stay home and drink hot toddies and play checkers.

And by the way, quit calling us racist and you are NOT my friend The corruption is in the White House and the loser republican party. GTHA

Every once in awhile, Newt is right. This isn’t one of those times.

These videos of him leaving the stage remind me of a doddering old man on the way out of life. They can’t run this guy in the next election

Newt old buddy! Biden has lied and cheated his way to success all of his life. That is what he is successful at, deceiving people! Don’t judge Biden by the quality and effectiveness of ballot harvesting. It is simply impossible that Biden is even there legally. Let’s look at his son’s laptop to see how successful joe is! Let’s here what Twitter has to say about the honesty of the 2020 election where joey was installed.

The American voter. Everyone now days wants to take more out of the pot, than they put in it.
As far as Newt. I despise the man for what he did to South Africa.

Stolen elections don’t count as one of the best mid terms for a first term president
