I think this is more evidence that Newt is over the hill and his good years are long gone. Probably there aren’t many people who even remember who Nelson Rockefeller was; his run for the Presidency was in 1964, almost half a century ago.

Glad I scrolled down.

I was going to say I hoped he explained his answer to the audience because there were probably very few who understood what he meant.

Two points on Nelson Rockefeller:

1) He served as Vice President under Ford until January 1977.

2) A “Rockefeller Republican” is an apt description of Mittens and is a widely-understood and accepted political term for a wealthy, northeast, liberal republican - used to derisively hang a label on a politician such as, well, Romney.

Also 1968, fared poorly both years; but you are right, most Americans have probably never heard of Nelson A. Rockefeller.

What garbage. Did you google that bit of history or did Grandpa give it to you?

Too bad that they no longer teach history in many schools.

Bet you didn't know that it was the Rockefellers that donated that land on the East River bank to the UN? How one world RINO can you get?

Good point. I had to go back and look up what a RockRep was.

But then again in this day and age a lot of people will simply take something that sounds derogatory and adjust their opinions accordingly, without really understanding it's true meaning or if the criticism is warranted.
