I'm just so sorry that I didn't understand your brilliant political discussion bait. You make an asinine statement to the effect that you could support Newt if only the media liked him and I comment on same. You are now the political genius just looking for a good argument. Yeah, I see how that works.
No.
I said I'd support Newt if thought the media wouldn't destroy him, not that I'd support him if the media "liked him."
The media isn't going to like ANY Republican. Ever. They'll just go after some with more gusto than others. I think even Newt knows that, judging from some of his quoted/paraphrased comments recently, such as:
the GOP is in the "early stages of an enormous transition" and suggested electability is an issue for Republicans
and:
the most likely campaign is going to be two New Yorkers, one of whom sounds like a New Yorker,
That's not me saying those things, it's Newt. It sounds like you need to start by convincing him, and work your way down to me.
