"He would have to discipline himself to be like Dick Cheney: express his opinions forcefully to the President, debate him up and down if he wants, but always support the President’s final decision."

I no longer repect or trust Newt. He's been 'RINOtized' in order to hob nob with the Washington crowd.

Down deep inside I have a feeling that he could pull a Clinton/intern incident. I'm not that sure he has any morals left & he knows that espousing the 'Conservative line fools a lot of folks.

He knows it's election time again - so he's 'talking' his Conservative spiel again.

I think it’s important to remember how and why Gingrich stumbled at the start of this race.

He demonstrated that he was amazing ignorant of the zeitgeist in the Tea Party and he made ridiculous and unhelpful, reach-across-the-aisle-nonsense criticisms of the Ryan plan.

He actually did have a few good points to offer, but cloaking it all in bomb-throwing terms (against his own conservatives) such as “right-wing social engineering” and such was beyond the pale.

It just made everyone remember: Yeah, Gingrich. He’s the one who is rolling along fine and then steps in it so big, you can’t even believe a politically blind man would stumble so badly.

I love him in the debates. I love his intellect. I think he has a lot to offer in the next Republican administration. But I just don’t think he’s reliable left to his own devices.
