I don't cling to fantasies....but I do believe in God's intervention in the affairs of men....especially when things "look" as if all is lost. So I do not give way to Newt's stepping down until he says as much.
Further Newt spent years getting back the House of Representatives....and nobody believed him then either...yet he accomplished that when he had little to none support that that would be a reality.
I say again, it's a mistake to underestimate Newt as well as trying to determine how he's going to play his cards.....much as people wish to see otherwise how Newt is playing this Primary...his intentions are fully for the good of the entire country, not just this Primary.
Over and over again we hear Santorum saying he "adopted Newt's ideas of Conservative run Governance"....he has said as much in the debates and at various times in his local campaigns.
Santorum doesn't have his own thoughts or convictions because he's borrowed throughout his career on whatever works to move his career path along. And even in this run he borrowed from Newt, Perry and others. He is not authentic....but he is about Rick and what Rick aspires to...and that's about as far as he goes.
It does no good to whisper your little fantasies to me. You gotta get on Santa’s lap for that.
