That person was Ronald Reagan, not NAFTA Newt whose main contribution to today’s political landscape was to bawlderize national political discourse to the level of the Springer Show
Newt forgot the first rule of politics...being likeable...and he really turned me off with his bain capital attacks, trying to be a populist when he turned out to be just as corrupt. He shoots himself in the mouth by not watching what he says.
And of course, nobody is his campaign is saying, “you know what, I better stop taking my self too seriously. That’s how Reagan got elected.”
BTW-reagan won the Senate...along with GWB.
