Egomaniacs R Us: Trump to pick Newt
Washington Post ^ | 2/2/12 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 02/02/2012 5:37:18 PM PST by KansasGirl

By Jennifer Rubin Herman Cain, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Sarah Palin and now, it seems, Donald Trump have lined up behind Newt Gingrich. It’s convenient to have a candidate like Gingrich who attracts the unserious, the unpresidential, the uninformed and the unpalatable all in one convenient locale. It saves the time and effort needed to determine who is a credible Republican and who is not (Gingrich supporters). The move is yet another boost for Rick Santorum, who definitely is in the category of responsible and credible candidates (whatever you think of his views) and has been struggling to wean the base off its attraction to Gingrich.

Snip

And all of these pro-Newt characters share a penchant for extreme, nasty rhetoric with a disdain for productive governance.

Snip

Really, what’s next for Newt — a Duke Cunningham endorsement from a jail cell?

As you can see, we are on the same page, and I think the Romney camp is despicable.

And to take a twist on a popular saying in presidential elections—I would rather crawl through broken glass than vote for Romney.

Maybe Greta can flesh out the truth about this endorsement.

Mark went into a lot of detail for an hour or more about how Romney needs to be able to explain capitalism and he is a corporatist. How he is not conservative and therefore cannot articulate it. Talked about Romneycare and what is wrong with it. He said Romney should be able to proudly explain his success, etc.. Talked about class warfare and how Romney should not use it.

"And what of his precious issue of “China”? I haven’t really heard much about China since Huntsman ordered dinner in Mandarin during a debate."

The Hairpiece listing China as his signature pseudo-conservative platform picks Mittens out of all the candidates? What has Willard said about China exactly?

Doesn't matter as this is all theater. The Combover is just Obama's sock-puppet anyway.

If the Mormon freak would somehow win the Presidency he would rack up the debt exactly like Obama and be on his knees begging to kiss some Chinese ass. The Socialist method of governing is to throw borrowed money around. It's all they know.

This was written before the news broke that he was endorsing Romney not Newt. Interestingly, Rush said today that Trump’s endorsement of Romney has been in the works for 2 months.
