Newt has a lot of charisma, maybe just not for you. I don't trash candidates I don't like. I just think it hurst conservatism in general. Rather, I would like to see the issues debated. Point of fact, Newt is one of the best communicators out there. He doesn't come across like typical politicans. I'd give him the opportunity to take his case to the public and see where it goes.
I'm not trashing him at all. I like Newt, but I think on a massive scale, he would lose.
The same idiot swing voters that helped the Dems take Congress would vote for Hillary over Newt.
Perhaps enough time has passed from the media's "Newt is Evil" phase for people to give him a listen. I just remember back in '97 or so some very conservative people spouting "Newt's a crook" and all that jazz.
