I wish a candidate would say the 1 minute rule sucks, change it to 3, and tell the Ratings Whores of Fox News we care more about the people than Rupert Murdoch.
Newt just wacked Wallace over the head with chutzpah bat.
I’m flat-out loving this.
No pantywaist questions.
When Newt Gingrich brings up Obama,
the Romney-fawning and Obama-protective Chris Wallace
immediately shifts to Jon Huntsman and insults him, too.
Wallace and Romney - LOVE FOREVER + IT SHOWS
I’m glad newt did that.
Is this Huntsman ???
he sounds like Romney
Mini Me ???
Newt cleaned the stage with Wallace.
bfl
Newt did good! The audience approved. There’s no place for tabloid style questions in a campaign.
There is NO conservative news station.
They BOTH looked terrible. Michelle sounded bitchy. T-Paw sounded whiney.,
would he go after the rats with the same enthusiasm?
Being married (cause we had to) for 30 years I do not cut a lot of slack to men who leave their wives because they have grown aprt of found someone else. Thus Newt is off the grid
Jeez o Pete Newt Too damn inconsistent
I’m sorry...Bachman and Pawlenty exchange is not what I wanted to hear tonight. Pawlenty had nothing to lose but Bachman did and she came across ugly. She lost a lot.
Gingrich just scored lots of points with me.
Grow up Chris!
Guess everyone reacts differently..good for you.LOL!! Love the frying pan line!
“Too bad, the Dems destroyed his chances long ago and although he keeps hanging in there, I doubt he would take the nomination”
Well, he just gave it to Chris Wallace but good!! And the “press corps” in general. And quite a group in the audience loved it, and booed Wallace’s snarky retort :-)
Wallace at a Obama town hall would never ask Obama about anything he’s said. He is 100% gotcha. He got it from his daddy.
Cain
Right of return
