Newt has a conservative heart and mind, but he knows that to get things done you have to communicate effectively with others whose support you MUST garner - and that means you have to “appease” them (in a way).... by showing you understand the rationale of their concerns and ideas.

Exactly. I have found Freepers can easily jump the gun when any candidate appears to move out of a stoic position...their pants get in a wad and there is little wait and see what's up about it.

All anyone has to do is watch Newt maneuver thru this primary and how he does it.....He snatched the control of the debates right out of the medias hands...they bellyached about it and he just smiled and went ahead to have the great meeting with Cain in full view of the audience...and look how the conservatives realize these debates must be from them....there's talking corners everywhere...the Huck had his tonight... and even Trumps doing it...this is simply taking things out of the media hands. Newt started it!

Additionally by refusing to talk down about our candidates he encouraged and stood up for each one in these debates when they media tried to get them to "fight" against each other. Newt wasn't about to play their game...and didn't. He focused on Obama and tried to "teach" the candidates that this is what they must do now...and he's right.

He's lead them all to realize each candidate has to be heard for what he stands for and allowed to do so...and trust the public can and will choose who they want accordingly...without the bickering and media fed fights.

So what has he done...he's created a huge following now because even in the debates themselves he's showing what he can do....and has already accomplished his agenda to turn the debates to what they need to be focused on....the candidates and their talking points...and they are talking now.

This is only going to get better.....and Newt's heading it all....He's not about to let the media steal this election from the people.....He met with Trump...then the other candidates...and they are all on board to take this election to the people now. That's leadership...right from the get go and Newt's at the helm of this!

I lose track of days and dates.

Has Gingrich already met with Trump? I thought their meeting was scheduled for Monday.

All the candidates want Trump’s endorsement and his money backers. Can’t say that I blame them, but I have to wonder aside from the money ....lol.

***That’s leadership...right from the get go and Newt’s at the helm of this!***

Great analysis.

Newt’s critics blast him for ‘being’ on all sides of an issue; which is ridiculous. The facts are that Newt looks to experts in science, medicine and energy for input on complex issues and presents them in the open for discussion.

His voting record should be examined along with the debates on which he based his decisions.

Friendly persuasion where possible and full frontal firepower when necessary.
