I remember when he said this and I was PO’ed.
Now that the field has played musical chairs and come back to Newt, I’m of the opinion that he is the smartest guy in the room . . . AND . . . he has the experience to beat Obama. Oh, and he is NOT Romney.
He is my current favorite.
Newt is exactly what we need now. Warts and all. He’s right 7200 votes, 15,000, + speeches, 24 books. It’s all out in the open. weigh his baggage honestly against his record of accomplishments and his strengths. I think his time is now.
Do you support Obamacare?
Since most Americans do not support Obamacare, what’s your view of how Newt’s support for an individual mandate to purchase health insurance might affect his candidacy in the general election?
Alternatiely, if someone supports Obamacare, why would they vote for Newt instead of Obama?
Sincere questions.
His multiple divorces, how he treated his wife that had cancer, etc, will bury him. He is the smartest guy in the room, but they will have a field day painting that picture and destroying him in the general election. He has no chance because of the personal choices he has made.
