Gingrich: Bushes are behaving 'childishly'

Posted on 07/18/2016 8:34:20 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Passed over for the job of joining the Republican presidential ticket as Donald Trump’s running mate, Newt Gingrich showed Monday that his willingness to serve as an attack dog has not diminished. In a pair of morning show interviews Monday on ABC and MSNBC, respectively, the former House speaker showed no hesitation in sharing his opinions on, among other topics, President Barack Obama, race in America, the Bush family and Trump’s campaign.

Gingrich dismissed the notion that the lack of prominent Republicans at this week’s national convention in Cleveland represented some larger trouble within the GOP. He attacked 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney, a vocal opponent of Trump’s, as a bandwagon jumper whose support for the party “lasted as long as we were supporting him.” The former speaker had even stronger words for the Bush family, none of whom will be in Cleveland this week.

Because the Bush power base is being eroded from the Republican party. They can live out their lives in relative plenty, but probably won’t have much say in politics anymore.

Gingrich must have the skin of a rhinoceros. To go on Morning Joe and be civil after the awful things that petty, jealous ex-Congressman has said over the years...I'd strangle him!

The Bushes are one-worlder globalists who support the NWO. Both the Convention and the GOP are better off without them. They belong in Saudi Arabia or in the Democrat Party.

I like it when Newt attacks, which he is the best.

Bob Dole has really impressed me by standing with Trump and saying Jebbie should be in Cleveland because Bob wanted to meet with him, kind of comical.

You go Newt....You're free to speak. While I thought VP was made for you. You're much better as a free lance attack dog.

Maybe chief of staff....but I do like you as a free lance honest broker.

This is why Newt makes a great Chief of Staff.

The Bushes should get out of America and move to some bannana republic where they can be to slimey, crooked, lying, evil caudillos that they really want to be. America is America so the Bush brand of South American politics can FOAD.

Imagine is he said, “like Clinton and Obama, the Bush’s are Globalists, nothing more, nothing less”.

The Liberals would faint if Newt put them in the same box as their Heroes.

Kasich’s behavior is especially egregious. He’s the governor of the damned state. For him to skip his own party’s convention in his state is beyond petty.

I'll second that! Heck...I'll even chip in for airfare if we can ship the whole bunch of them off to SA.

I'm guessing the Cruz is going to be giving Trump an enthusiastic endorsement. Why else would he be on the program?
