The Newt worship seems bizarre to me as well. Notice that the oodles of Perrybots on this board virtually disappeared between his 2012 and 2016 presidential campaigns. He had a ton of people touting him as a courageous conservative hero during the 2012 election, but his 2016 candidacy was met with a collective shrug.
Yet in the case of Newt, he had endless FReepers gush over him when he was winning, still gushing over him long after his campaign became a national punchline and it was clear he wouldn't be the nominee, still gushing over him during the four years between campaigns, and still gushing over him even after their hero Trump slammed Newtie for daring to disagree with him. What Newt did to inspire such fierce loyalty is beyond me. I was a Santorum supporter in 2012 but he was a last ditch choice and I certainly wouldn't want him as Trump's running mate given the way the national media ridiculed him.
Go Pence.
In other Connecticut news, I am Clinton fatigued. And Bambi fatigued.
peeples are looking for a chance to fight back. Cop Killing. Will it sit well with middle America?. There aint no votin’ this time of year. And Connecticut is another place like Cook County where politics is dead. Everything is gerrymandered and .... pre-determined.
The DEM primaries here are kinda feisty, 2 libs fighting each other.
Democracy is a method to bore peeples to death just when we is itching for a fight.
Yeah, whatever else, this should be yet one more nail in the coffin of Newtie as VP talk. This pandering and patronizing attitude towards a group of Americans who by and large need to get their own act together (instead of “blaming Whitey”) does no one any good, but certainly helps make it that much worse.
