I am not a psychiatrist or psychologist, but what you mention is what I observe, also.
And, he seems willing—in fact, desirous—and very able to go beyond answers/conclusions. He has the inclination toward education and thinking.
Isn’t that EXACTLY what we need with a general population so long and so poorly served in their educational experiences that so many seem to have so little understanding of our roots, self-reliant culture, and form of government?
After all, our Founding Fathers often stated that this unique form of government requires both an EDUCATED and MORAL citizenry. Otherwise, it will not work.
Newt’s been “educating” the public at every debate..as well as the candidates themselves. Remarkable how he is bringing along those who would have never thought they’d consider him...but then most have never learned why we are where we at and what can be done to turn the tide.....he has solutions and is comfortable in naming them as they are.
Do I agree with all..no.. but I do agree with what really matters at this time we are in...and Newt has the goods to not only bring it to the table...but to galvanize congress to act where they need to...and he knows the pressure points to get it done.
