Now, you assert Ann Coulter is being very anti-Newt and pro mitt on various news interview. Not being in the US, I have not seen any of this. So - what exactly is she saying about Romney? Once we know that, then we can judge whether those comments are true or not. What is she exactly saying about Gingrich? Once we know that, we can judge whether the criticism is justifiable or not.
Do a search and you’ll find plenty of Coulter attacks on Newt.
In 2008, the establishment was behind McCain and against Romney. What on earth has Romney done for the last four years to get the establishment to line up behind him in 2012, other than to campaign for the past four years?
Romney would be a ‘don’t rock the boat’ sort of liberal Republican who will be powerless to make any meaningful changes. The GOP establishment will be able to call the shots as they wish. Under a Newt Presidency, all of this will be out the window. The establishment has gone “all in” for Romney, for better or worse.
The establishment GOPers are weak-kneed. Once Newt amasses more victories, he’ll consolidate his power base and the loudmouths will shut their mouths. These establishment types are not ideologues, but are finger-in-the-wind politicians.
COULTER: What changed my mind about is whether — and by the way I changed my mind about three months after that on some Fox News show because the economy was so bad. And I said, look, I mean, I’m generally a pessimist who we’re running against — actually, maybe I’m not. But we have this very popular —
COULTER: We have this popular Democratic president. He does have an attractive family. He has the entire mainstream media behind him. He’s an incumbent. That is why I thought the candidate we ran would lose. I no longer think — I now think Obama has a glass jaw, I said that’s just a few months after that statement by the way, but it’s not really I think that big of a change. In fact, we don’t know if my prediction is wrong yet. What I am saying now is of the available candidates, Romney is by far the most conservative — tied with Michele Bachmann — and he has a proven ability to win in a state like Massachusetts.
