Not really. One reason for his lack of support was this:
"The Republican leader has taken much of the blame for the party's unexpectedly lacklustre performance in the elections, the worst performance in 34 years by a party not in control of the White House."
Also, many House members were dissatisfied with Gingrich abandoning the emphasis on cutting taxes.
Many contemporaries of Gingrich, including those who worked for him, remember that he was arrogant and not a very likeable person
And Gingrich was the first Republican Speaker in 40 years. I remember that time VERY well. The Republicans had NO idea what to do with power. Gingrich did though. Weasels like Lindsey Graham hated him. Appeasers don’t like making waves.
