Newt went after Paul Ryan for two reasons:

1) His plan is the conservative free market plan, which Newt does not believe in. Remember, he is the progressive kind.

2) Newt’s ego is too big to accept someone else can come up with a good plan.

Wow, that was fast. There is a reason why you turn up the heat on the boiling frog slow...he’ll jump out the pot if you turn the heat up too fast. That’s what Ryan’s plan did and it cost the R’s in NY 9 and elsewhere. There’s a reason why it took 100 years for the left to gradually install socialist underpinnings. It can’t be disassembled in a single piece of legislation, you have to chip away at it.

Possibly, though there's no real great evidence pointing to this.

2) Newt’s ego is too big to accept someone else can come up with a good plan.

LOL...yeah, that must be it. That's the ticket.
