Newt is just as much a RINO as Romney, only difference is he would lost by an even larger margin and maybe have cost us the House because he was such a horrendous candidate. Newt’s campaign was so awful it made Rick Perry’s look good and Rick Perry’s campaign was awful!
He was also unviable after losing Florida. After that it was a crystal clear that Santorum was the only choice to stop Romney, not that’s he was particularly impressive himself GPH don’t get me wrong, in fact his campaign rather sucked as well, I backed him by default.
But it’s a simple fact that he was A)More conservative than Gingrich, this is undeniable. B)A stronger general election candidate than the unelectable clown Gingrich. C)Getting more votes than Gingrich in the remaining primaries meaning he was the anti-Romney frontrunner and Newt, not he, was splitting the vote by remaining in the race.
Anyone who stayed on the Newt train after Florida was a colossal fool and helped get what they wanted least, Romney.
I don’t feel a need to rehash this crap but you brought it up and I have to refute the Newt BS. Truth is we lost that election before it started because no one worth a damn ran in the first place. Cruz 2016.
You are like the sunshine bro.
Newt like Cain were not serious candidates. They were playing for attention. And I like Cain always did. He was a Cavuto regular. They were both caricatures of candidates play acting not serious.
The truth is that the 2012 lineup was very weak, so Rove and the GOPe (and Coulter) saw Mitt as the best compared to the others. But the others wouldn’t have done any better.
Newts got more skeletons than Cain did.
