Hannity just asked Newt if he would run for Speaker? Newt said he wouldn't get the votes. . "This requires serious thought. . this is a serious sobering time in American History. . If the house conference wanted me to be helpful, I would always be available as a citizen to be helpful. . you show up with 218 votes, I'll talk with you. . I just heard about this 10 minutes ago. . the new speaker will have to very aggressive with the media. . the new speaker has to fight. . executive amnesty, I would cut off the money. . people don't understand what closing the government means. . you have to have a willingness to tell the President what you are doing is unconstitutional. . I would cut off funding. ." (I couldn't help thinking, he sounds like Trump. . a Fighter!)
Draft Newt!
"Draft Newt!"
Newt is absolutely the right answer.
He's the most successful Republican Legislator in the last 100 years as a result of trench warfare and solid conservative principles.
All this talk of Allen West and Daniel Webster is pure, fantastic folly.
Jordan is another that would do well, but nothing like Newt.
But like Newt said, you have to walk in the door with 218 votes otherwise you have none.
