Newt Gingrich: GOP Establishment 'Living in Fantasy Land' Over Trump
Newsmax ^ | 22 Feb 2016 | Sandy Fitzgerald

Donald Trump is "far and away the front-runner," for the GOP presidential nomination and the establishment is "living in a fantasy land," by denying that big changes are happening, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday.

"Trump is tapping into something in the country that's real," Gingrich told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program.

"If you take Trump's vote and Cruz's vote and Carson's vote -- the three outsiders -- they are once again at about 62 percent in South Carolina, and they have been consistently above 60 percent everywhere in the country. If you pull together all of the insurgents, there's a message there."

Further, Gingrich said that Trump is by far the party front-runner, and the real tests are coming for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to win primaries in their own home states.

"He has vastly more delegates," Gingrich said. "Can Rubio win Florida? Right now Trump is winning Florida. How well does Cruz do in Texas? Trump is a national player and he's strong everywhere."

Yes, July 1934 was when the change to fascism took place. “Night of The Long knives.”

He’d want ambassador to the UN, but might be better at the Dep’t of Ed. That’s a big ‘might’.

I don’t believe the polls...

The polls also said Trump would lose the Hispanic vote in Nevada... didn’t happen. Trump won the Hispanic vote even though both Rubio AND Cruz are Hispanic...

Liberal elites are liars - and they’re teaching their filth to the GOP elites.
