Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Republican front-runner Donald Trump will “tower over” his rivals all across the country on Super Tuesday.
Gingrich said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who is expected to win his home state, has a chance to emerge as the most likely alternative to Trump and win more delegates than Florida Sen. Marco Rubio on Tuesday.
“But Trump will tower over all of them,” Gingrich told Fox News on Tuesday. “The scale of his victories from Massachusetts and Vermont all the way across to Alaska is gonna be pretty stunning and, really for a guy who’s only been in politics for seven months, almost unimaginable.”
Gingrich said there will be a frenzy among the Republican establishment to stop the billionaire from winning the nomination. “I don’t think the frenzy will work, and if it doesn’t, then both Trump and the Republican leadership — the traditional leadership — face a big decision.”
Will the tea party wage a guerrilla war against Trump?

Republicans can take this campaign down the Barry Goldwater path and “get beaten badly,” Gingrich posited, or be like Ronald Reagan and “win a stunning victory.”
“There’s no middle ground here, and I think Trump is about half of that decision,” Gingrich said. “The other half of that decision is gonna be the Republican leadership.”
Gingrich stopped short of endorsing Trump — despite calling him “very, very impressive” — but described the businessman as an “anti-left, anti-politically correct, anti-stupidity American nationalist” who uses those principles to guide his decisions. “Sometimes that makes him complicated for conservatives because they have these cookie-cutter you-are-for-this-you’re-for-that, and I think I have pretty good credentials as a conservative,” he said.

Newt scared of Club for Growth <sarc
Did you know that behind the scenes Newt has been advising Trump? Then he gets on TV and tells folks something different. Not bashing Trump. But Newt is just like the rest of the establishment. (Dont get me wrong - I liked Newt when he was SOTH).
Newt for Chief of Staff?
It’s as simple as we’ve had enough working for Washington, they need to start working for us again. That is the explanation for Trump.
bfl
He’d make a good Chief of Staff, not sure about his ability to focus. Surely a great political adviser.
I don’t think Newt is really talking any differently through the media than he has all along. Back in December it was that Trump was the quickest study he had ever encountered in any political figure with the exception of Bill Clinton and it has been nothing but praise since then.
Good point.
Gingrich for VP? He could guide a new pres Trump in the battle to kick Congress ass
There is a politeness in politics on occasion. They do not run around with hatchets. Geez...
Newt’s contribution to the Trump campaign will be the wisdom that insures Trump’s victory will be a new mandate. His book, “Lessons Learned the Hard Way,” spells out thinking that Trump can use. And, I am sure Newt has new knowledge that will improve Trump’s message to America.
Is that all you have is that old picture. Newt has said he has regretted it. Get a life.
“Newt for Chief of Staff?”
That’s the rumor I read, hope it’s true.
I liked Newt for 2012, haven’t clicked on drudge since.
Don't kid yourself. Trump has been in politics for a long time. He has figured out how to play the game.
