I hope I am wrong, but I’m not “pumping out” anything.

The fact that you and I hate the facts does not change them.

Things have to change in the WH, or I’m afraid Newt and Ladbrokes will both be right.

Pray for better days tomorrow.

Newt is a man that can sound very good at times. He’s given some of the best Constitutional presentations I’ve seen. They are absolutely brilliant.

Then he goes out and actually advocates for something that is diametrically opposed to the Constitution. I wish it weren’t so, but he does it. I don’t remember the issue right now, but it had to do with free speech or some such. He’s a dolt.

McCain, Dole, Newt, from time to time they uncork comments that baffle you. When the government shut-down was forced by Clinton’s refusal to sign legislation back in the 90s, Newt got the blame.

This went on for days, and finally on a Friday morning the media broke. They announced that Clinton had called special meeting with his staff, because they had to find a way to resolve the government shut down by the end of the weekend. It just couldn’t go on.

This was not an announcement of bipartisan work, it was the Clinton White House being telegraphed as on the verge of caving. Newt and Conservatism were suddenly poised to win big.

Bob Dole, ignoramus that he was walked up to a microphone that Friday afternoon and said something to this effect. This shut down cannot go on. Republicans are going to have to compromise.

There it was. The momentum had been broken. Bob Dole handed the Democrats an out, and Newt took it on the shorts in perpetuity. He had been sold out.

The Republicans caved.

While in this instance Newt was the one who was undercut by an idiot, here he is doing the same damned thing.

He is voicing the thought that Trump is failing and he must compromise.

Sadly, some folks who are blinded to what an idiot these folks can be, sign on thinking they are brilliant. No, Newt can be as big a fool as any other person, and that’s exactly what is going on here.

Why was Clinton so successful? Why was he able to avoid impeachment? It was because his side remain solidified, refusing to accept defeat at any turn.

Is Newt an example of that right now? NO!

That’s why I am blistering him with criticism here.

YOU DO NOT WIN BY CAVING. Newt should know that better than anyone after the heat/blame he received after the Clinton government shut-down.

Bob Dole grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory, and that’s exactly what Newt is doing here.
