Newt will be a total disaster for Conservatism (and the GOP), if we are foolish enough to choose him.
He is in it for himself. He has a flawed character and personalilty. He is unelectable.
He is a Big Government adherent. He got personally wealthy by milking his public sector activities, not in the private sector.
He changes positions frequently. He is a narcissist. He believes he is smarter than anyone else. He is dangerous.
He was not liked by any of his colleagues, and they know him far better than we do, and it’s not because he was more conservative than them. In fact, he has no core principles except whatever is good for Newt.
Don’t drink the Newt Koolaid.
I seem to remember the period from 1995 - 1998 working out pretty well for conservatism despite Slick Willie being President...Newt deserves credit for that.
