I like Newt but, He is not Presidential. He is not tall, handsome with the ability to bull shit the voters and beguile them with his celebrity. That’s what the American voter wants, bull shit, food stamps and celebrity.
Likely true. And so we see the strategy of both the DEM and GOP parties.
Everything is image. Look at these Hollywood types who have 5 marriages, take drugs and say mindless things. People still pay lots of money to see them in the movies.
Politics is a little like Hollywood.
The voters don’t care about looks, they want charisma, passion and sincerity. That’s what they saw in Obama and voted for. Romney is entirely and obviously lacking in passion and sincerity. Newt has it, which is why Newt has a better chance of defeating Obama than Romney does. In truth, Obama has done so badly, that I think any of our candidates would beat him. That’s why I’d rather pick one like Newt who’s actually a conservative than an obvious liberal like Romney.
