I agree. My comment doesn’t matter when you are talking about him.
But, it is all that is going to matter if he runs.
Between Christie and Huckabee, the discourse about them will be crude, unfair, and fat related. Period.
I think he is a moderate, pragmatist. In that he will try to appease the middle of the road moderate fiscal conservative, moderate social republicans and moderate democrats. He would do well in the Northeast and West. He is much to socially liberal for the south.
Personally, I think we could do a lot worse. I like Newt myself, but he would never win.
Newt might’ve won ‘12……or he might have totally imploded. I don’t think one can rule anything out with him. When he’s great, he’s the best. When he’s bad, he’s one of the worst. But when he’s on, no one can take apart a liberal in a debate better than Newt. And I don’t just mean televised debates, I mean an entire campaign of slaughtering liberal ideas.
