Gloria warned Herman on Greta weeks ago: If you screw up, “you will stand at that podium alone”. And she meant it. Without her, his campaign is done. Tragic destruction of a fine career and reputation. And for what? Clinton was ON TAPE telling Gennifer Flowers to deny an affair during the NH Primary - and he STILL came in 2nd, and then won the Presidency. All because Hillary has no soul and stood by him and lied, and kept lying and denying right through and beyond Lewinsky (”vast, right-wing conspiracy”). Gloria Cain is no Hillary. She has a soul and a fear of God. What a marvelous First Lady she might have made - in a parallel universe. In THIS one, Liberals are immune to scandal, while conservatives are undone by the slightest hint of one - even an unproven one. Yet Newt is somehow immune to his scandals, because they are no longer “newsworthy”. And so the beat goes on. Progressive Democrats, Progressive Republicans. And as Mark Levin says, we move further away from a Constitutional Republic with every election.
Exactly. There really isn't much of a difference..."meet the new boss..."
OK. It’s Friday. D-Day.
Can you imagine how HC must feel right now? He’s been able to discuss this with his wife from a distance, over the phone. Now he has to walk in the front door and look her in the eyes.
I’ve been married for 15 years and have made my share of mistakes. Nothing near the magnitude of this but mistakes none the less. There is no worse feeling than having to sit down next to the wife, and explain my stupidity.
I imagine his nerves are probably peaked....
Taken on face value, what he did was done with very poor foresight. At this point, we don’t know why he felt the need to pay this woman money for rent and such on a monthly basis for 13 years. Was it charity? Maybe. We don’t know what the 60-odd text messages say or even who wrote the majority of them. We currently don’t know much of anything but the speculation that is going around is pretty nuts. That being said, on a human viewpoint, it doesn’t sound good. If this were a friend of mine and he did all of the above, I would have some real deep questions for him. My thoughts would be that there is something deeper to this.
In the mind of voters, HC’s image is now tarnished. A lot of people are looking at this as too much drama. It’s going to be a very big hole for him to crawl out of. It is all going to be based on how he decides to continue.
In all of this mess, I feel so badly for Mrs. Cain. She is a classy lady, and doesn’t deserve any of this.
Neither do their children.
I don’t know what’s going to happen with his campaign. However, he was a hero of mine when he almost single handedly destroyed HillaryCare.
I’ll never, ever forget him for that.
RE: Newt...I do think he’s a changed man, morally speaking. I know he has a 94% ACU rating, but sometimes he doesn’t act like it.
Mark Levin is a very wise man, and I agree with him.
