“Yeah, he sure did a number on Romney, remember? He started off the season rather well, but ended up with the short end of the stick later on down the road when Mr. Meek managed to not only hold his own against Gingrich, but started to look better overall in those debates before Iowa.”

You mean when Romney ran a ton of negative ads in Florida after Newt won South Carolina, and the brain trust on our side decided to go with Rick Santorium because Newt made a speech extolling the idea of America going back to the Moon?

I was on FR in 2012 when it played out, so I’m not sure where you got your history.

“He is a piss poor choice.

Who would be better? I don’t know.. “

That’s the point. Too many of you screaming your heads off, but offering jack as an alternative.....except some smug sense that you “know better”.

I know enough that Gingrich is a terrible choice, and it seems pretty obvious.

I watched the debates in 11/12 and Gingrich was not the ultimate carpet bomber some seem to believe he is. Romney got in plenty of shots in that Florida debate and considering we're talking Milquetoast Romney, that's nothing to hang your hat on if you're talking up Gingrich.

I'm simply hoping that Mr. Trump is intelligent enough to steer clear of Gingrich as a running mate.

Hell, he may as well choose Pelosi as Gingrich and her are two peas in a pod! (tic)

I'm hoping he can find someone who is not an establishment hack who will bring more positive energy to his campaign. Do I know what that could be? No. However, I know who it should NOT be.
