Newt has been indicating he was “thinking” about running... he doesn’t seem to know his day has passed along with a few others who seem to have the same aspirations.
He always keeps his name in the mix of presidential candidate possibilities. But that's only to keep his name in the public mind so he can garner well-paying TV stints and appearances.....and get lucrative speaker fees at political and corporate functions.
Here and there, he deliberately throws into the public arena some outrageous statements guaranteed to raise eyebrows and hackles. This calls more attention to himself and guarantees more bookings.....especially if he pops off about a fellow Republican.
Always follow the momey trail with Newt. It's enormously hard work keeping in the public eye to make a living after you've been a D.C. big shot.....and he works very hard at it. It's his personal business and income survival now, folks. Keep this in mind when you hear him opine.
