I personally think the best possible thing he could do is make a deal with Santorum. Between them, their delegates add up to less than 100 behind Romney and when we start hitting winner take all states, splitting the vote just hands those states to Romney.
Personally I’m hopeful that he’s already quietly working with the Santorum camp.
Why do you all suggest this Newt-coming-to-Rick business? Newt laid very gentle on Rick in ALL debates up until Rick was dying after SC and joined in with the ads of Romney against Newt going into Florida.
I can promise you Newt sent an olive branch to Rickster weeks ago.
Rick Santorum will have to be mortally wounded politically, before his light switch engages. Newt is salvaging his own damn delegates by staying in and holding a number of thOSE delegates FROM Romney FOR Santorum!
Frat boy has no clue. Rick will mouth himself into the campfire before he ever reaches JUNE. This is not Newt’s first rodeo.
Rick is a self absorbed pol who has no political instincts, except to campaign to the Right and legislate from the Left with the GOP-E.
Rick also has no job.
Newt, on the other hand, has a pleasant life and needs none of this but for his passion to endlessly try to save the Republican Party from itself which he has done with historic success having the record to prove it.
(Back when RECORDS meant something.)
That’s best for us. Not sure it’s best for Newt. The question is, which does Newt value more?
