This has been in the works for months. Newt has been for Romney for a long time now. He is even going to support him if Romney is the nominee. Newt is crazy to support this turd. I won’t vote for Romney at all. Rick or Newt is it for me.
Naps, I sincerely believe that newt has a visceral disdain towards Romney. If he were a covert Romney supporter, he would have cut his deal by now. As we can see by Rubio tonight, it’s time to jump on board if one wants leverage and spoils.
I just don’t see the argument that Newt is staying in to hurt Rick..because, imo, Rick has no chance to defeat Romney. I mean rick no offense, but no one can defeat Romney in a primary where he decides to spend $10m or whatever it takes. In other words, Romney doesn’t need Newt’s help in order to defeat Rick.
If the occasion arises, Newt will support him, as Rick will support him— because that’s unfortunately what they do.
