Newt knew how to get elected, then he fell apart because he was a spineless jellyfish.
Newt knows nothing of Alpha-Male politics.

On the outside looking in.
His big mistake was the public hissy fit when he got passed over for VP. ...and then over again.
I would disagree. This would be a little like saying that the Marines on Tarawa weren't as alpha-male fighters as the Marines on Iwo Jima, because the former got their asses kicked and barely succeeded. Newt, in his day, couldn't have known the lengths to which his opposition would go, not simply to fight his legislation, but to destroy him and uphold Pres. Clinton, to make Newt look the scumbag and Clinton the angel.
Trump learned the lessons of Newt's difficulties, and of W's difficulties, and has not made their mistakes. Lucky for us, the domestic enemy has not yet figured out that its tactics are ineffective against Trump.
My fear is not what the left is doing now, but what it will do when it figures this out, and realizes the only way it can achieve its objectives is the annihilation of Trump and all those who support him.
Well, to be entirely fair, they went after Newt like they are going after Trump.
Trump will weather this better, as Reagan did.
I understood your animosity towrds Newt but isnt everything he said spot on?
