If you have an hour to spare, here is an absolutely must-see, in-depth Newt's interview with Piers Morgan.
Discovering Newts true human nature, a kind, full of humor and self-derision person, with whom most of the people can connect. He comes from a modest family, studied and worked very hard to rise to the top, and was blessed with an extraordinary intelligence and wit, which contrasts so much with the Beltway guys describing his character as irascible, unpredictable and umbrageous.

MORGAN: How would it shape you as a president in the sense that youre going to face, if you become president, moments where you have to decide, do you take your country to war? Its going to happen to you. What does that tell you about warfare? I know youre a military historian in many ways.
GINGRICH: Well, its deeper than just going to war. Its the question of, how can you make the historically right decisions to give your children and grandchildren a prosperous, safe, free country? I mean maybe avoiding going to war because you use the right build-up or the right diplomacy, because you have foresight.
Its also, how do you operate in a principled manner? Because you cant just ad hoc all these different decisions. You have to have some underlying set of principles that enable you to say, you know, for America to remain a great nation, for America to remain an exceptional nation, these are things we have to focus on.
And you have to set priorities. And where possible, you have to get ahead of the problems. I mean, one of the amazing things about both Eisenhower and Reagan was that they were able to sort of see around the corner. And so they could take steps that achieved a great deal at minimum risk. And both of them tended to avoid risk.
A must see video. Thanks again for the link;) Will watch again in the morning.
g’nite y’all
God bless.
