Disagree completely.
Newt was favored in the last election, until RNC ensured Romney was the nominee because they always give the nominee who was shafted the previous election the support in order to make good on how badly they supposedly treated them.
McCain was supposedly shafted during the Bush election period. The RNC felt bad and ensured McCain was the nominee in the next cycle, 2008.
Then Romney was supposedly shafted in 2008 and was promised the top spot in the next cycle which is why they did not get behind Newt Gingrich.
However, the RNC has no love for Newt Gingrich but hopefully Trump will choose him as a running mate if Trump wins the nomination.
It will never happen ..Newt’s ego is as big as Trump’s .. there is only room for one alpha , and that alpha is Trump ... why let Newt ride Trump’s coat-tails ? If Newt is such a hot commodity , why isn’t he in the race now ?
