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."

Polls show both Cruz and Rubio beat Trump in head to head match-ups.
Sorry, those are fairy tale polls. Reality polls released today show Trump winning:

I am one of those ‘vulgar’ Americans who spent over 5 yrs of my life in W#W2 saving you a country to grow rich in if you desire, be free to spout your drivel, and probably sit on your fat ass while better men, and women, fight the enemies of the US——maybe we are making a mistake but at this point who cars -—4 more years of your flaming liberals will destroy us forever in any event—the beauty of America is all kinds of garbage can climkb onh a soap box and spit theirt filth and hatred of the finest country in this evil world-——cheers
Work against Rinos - especially McStupid - in this coming election.
“he is capable of any tactic, any lie, any avenue, implied or functional to reach his goal”
Funny. Sounds exactly like Cruz.
I think Trump sounds like a trouble shooter at an organizational effectiveness meeting. He’s really insightful.
Musolini would be telling people that they’d better be at work on time or else.
Rush is irrelevant.
Thank you for your service! I never served but my father did and I have some idea of what it means, so again Thank You.
I have i believe, tried to never directly insult any particular person, just state how i see the world and the nation i live in and love and would fight for! That is all i am doing now, pointing out that which i see as danger on the horizon. Please take it as not personal but as i mean it, simply a warning!
I’ll tell you what, you point to lies Ted Cruz has said about Donald Trump, I will respond in Kind!
Rush used to be a lot more relevant and courageous. I seriously do not know what has happened to him but this election cycle sure shows he has changed a lot into the MSM.
I don’t think a vote for Cruz is anti-Trump, anymore than a vote for Trump is anti-Cruz. Many, of not the majority of, Cruz supporters will cross over to Trump if Cruz withdraws, and vice versa — never never never to Rubio who represents the Washington Cartel which both Trump and Cruz supporters despise. Only those Cruz zealots, who believe there is no one else who can possibly save this country, no one else who has any love for the country or the constitution, essentially emotional cult followers who have placed such blind faith and love in Cruz would cut their noses off their faces and vote for Rubio. The majority of Cruz supporters are sensible people, and if Cruz withdraws from the race, they will support the candidate who most closely advocates the positions Cruz supports, and that candidate is most certainly not Cruz. If Cruz drops out, his support will go to Trump, if Trump drops out his support will go to Cruz.
Dittos!
Idiots who think conservatives will fall in line for a Democrat in drag never learn. If it didn't happen in 2012, it won't happen now.
I guess it's the same as those who say they'll never vote for Trump or Cruz! Dog chasing cars.
As was Hannity! Hannity seemed near tears talking about Cruz.
So, as I see it, it's us against the GOPe and Talk Radio. (Beck, Rush, Hannity & Levin...in order of show time(s))
Why? How can you get congress to limit their time at the trough?
An amendment to set term limits will have to come from one the states. There is no other way. And even that’s iffy because the states, not all of them, are the beneficiaries of their rep’s bringing home the bacon.
There was a YouTube video posted on another thread, of Trump being interviewed 25 years ago, where the interviewer asked about him running.
It’s actually a pretty good interview. Check on YouTube for Trump interview +25 years. It’s about 20 minutes long.
Rubio is the GOPe’s Obama.
Newt should be part of the Trump administration... Newt knows the players and their delusions.
Sorry, please forgive me, but I have no realistic ideas about how to get there.
The only way I see, is We The People will have to ram it down their throats or up their.....
That’s th only way I see it happening.
