Seriously, I would like to know how this Newt endorsement news came to be. The radio news is saying that it came from inside the Newt camp. Why would they leak an endorsement that wasn’t sure? Did Trump play them for a fool? Would Romney have a guy pretend to be someone in the Newt camp and leak this?
Who did this? If Newt’s team really did, they are chumps. If Romney’s team, or even Trump, did this, it’s just COLD.
I heard Fox news say this morning that they asked Gingrich campaign about an endorsement from Trump and they told Fox they had not heard anything about it from Trump and had no knowledge of it. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE ROMNEY PEOPLE DID THIS TO NEWT. I SAW NEWT LATER AND HE LOOKED TICKED WHEN THE MEDIA WALKED UP TO HIM. He threw his hand up and said “Amazing what people will do to get attention! Just amazing!” Cavuto told Trump Newt looks ticked. Trump said he respected Newt and did not blame him for being upset. Then later, Newts people released all the negative things Trump recently said about Romney to the media. Trump is telling Greta right now that he tried to call Newt last night and got no answer.
Hi Yaelle, this is how I look at it:
Who stands to gain from this the most? Who said that they wanted to “destroy Newt Gingrich” not just beat him in the Florida primary? Whose campaign repeatedly claims “so and so” is going to endorse him, and the so-called endorser has to issue a statement of correction (i.e. Jeb Bush & Michele Bachmann)? Which group leaked salacious and untrue stories about Sarah Palin during the 2008 campaign, hoping to ruin her political prospects? Who has been caught, by Wolf Blitzer himself, lying about an ad that has his own voice approving of? Which campaign has low-down snakes who were part of the Drudge Report, which just happened to release a flurry of anti-Gingrich stories all in one day—a few days before the Florida primary, most of which were later proven false?
IMO, all arrows point to Romney. I even suspect that his campaign was behind all the Cain stuff. He isn’t a very nice man, and he runs a very nasty campaign. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg, as he has been planning this run since at least 2005. He is ENTITLED, and no one is going to get in his way!
