Newt Gingrich: Republicans Today Would Be ‘Incapable of Competing’ Against Hillary Clinton in 2016
The Blaze/NBC Repost ^ | 12/9/2012 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 12/09/2012 1:01:03 PM PST by sheikdetailfeather

Former House Speaker and Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said the current GOP would be “incapable of competing” against Hillary Clinton should she run in 2016.

Gingrich on NBC’s “Meet the Press” called Clinton a “very formidable” person who is married to “the most popular Democrat in the country.”

“If [the Republicans'] competitor in ’16 is going to be Hillary Clinton, supported by Bill Clinton and presumably, a still relatively popular President Barack Obama, trying to win that will be truly the Super Bowl. And the Republican Party today is incapable of competing at that level,” Gingrich said.

>>Slap a 30% tariff on imported goods and you’ll see low skill assembly jobs return to this country.

Do that, and the Right will blow a gasket. They’ll scream bloody murder about “profits” and call you anti-market. As I said, there is no easy solution that fits neatly into one party’s platform.

You are right about the middle class and that middle class has to be strong in real jobs that do real things, other than just shuffling information back and forth. A kid with an average education needs to be able to get a decent job with a future and build on it through acquired skills and promotions. If we lose that, we’ve lost America.

Hell, we’ve already lost that!

Back about Augustus Caesar's time the Romans came into a vast number of slaves ~ they put them to work doing everything anybody could think of needed to be done in Rome and other major imperial cities.

That left the poor citizens with nothing to do, hence the use of the dole and games to keep them entertained.

They got about 300 years out of that technique in the West, and nearly 1400 years in the East.

Can’t really argue with Newt’s assessment. With the current state of the GOP, I can’t see them remotely competitive, regardless of who the Dems put up. As for my own preferences for 2016...

1st choice: Palin
2nd choice: third party
3rd choice: to hell with it all, secession!

Indeed, by 2016, there probably won’t be much of a country left even worth trying to salvage. In fact, that’s already a question I ponder each day.

Those non-working citizens didn’t demand a lifestyle that was comparable to that of a working craftsman, as ours do. If our poor lived in overcrowded dormitories, owned only what they could carry, and ate porridge twice a day, we could support them too while the rest of us work 60 hour weeks to keep the wheels turning on civilization.

BTW, Hamilton actually monetized the debt ~ that's not exactly a plan to get rid of it ~ still works too!

There's a theory that you can build up your own industry behind a tariff wall ~ and the third world is full of tariff walls ~ seems to not work all that well for them.

The relationship was a koinkydink ~ the thing driving American economic expansion was multifaceted ~ first, technological improvements have a dynamic more powerful than any tariff wall ~ better a new device than an old device built by the locals. Further, we'd tamed government so it didn't stand in our way. We gave that up just before WWI ~ not too late to go back to that time, but we have to hurry.

We also fostered the notion that the poor should learn to read ~ which at that time defied commonsense since only a few needed to read.

We could erect all the tariff walls anybody could want and i am sure somebody will simply build a machine to do the manual labor more efficiently.

Do you think the Chinese will still be willingly buying our debt by that point. I’m thinking we will be so damn broke that the blame will finally rest where it belongs.

The net worth of the United States is estimated to be somewhere around $100,000,000,000,000 ($100 Trillion).
The house will continue to lend the casino patrons money to play as long as they have positive net assets.

When the GOP couldn't beat a Dem with the worst 4 year record and more flaws that the combination of the last 10 Dem presidents combined, then they can't beat anyone..........the GOP is a front for a cabal of self serving political crooks!!!

First of all, you are assuming that there will be elections in 2016 and second of all, the Hildabeast already looks like death warmed over. No telling how much she will have deteriorated by 2016.

Palin is the most effective conservative in America, how can you think that all she does is comment?

Palin has done more to shape a conservative Congress and Senate than anyone in America.

Even this year she gave us Ted Cruz over Dewhurst, and our only Senate pick up, with Deb Fischer, along with some congressional help.

While the GOP was suffering a massive defeat, Palin moved the Senate right.

Mrs. Obama will run and Hillary won't beat her.

Whatever, we will never see another conservative or rino as president, thanks to all traitors who didn’t vote for Romney. They gave us ObamaCare and helped to kill babies faster.

Republicans are not capable of beating Democrats as long as they are allowed to get away with massive voter fraud




Can't you just imagine the above was the scene with Obama and his Commie staff after stealing the election through voter fraud- while Conservatives blame Romney, argue, point fingers, blather on about who to run in four years, 'starting a new party', and try to figure out how to suck up to minorities the 'next time'?

Next time? What makes you think the massive voter fraud in this last farce of an election won't be repeated? If we don't clean up our voting system, there may not be a next time. We may not see another Republican president in our lifetime

Map from Barack Obama Voter Fraud 2012


What most refuse to acknowledge is that it was unlikely that ANYBODY could have beaten the voter fraud planned and perpetrated by the Obama machine. They seem to prefer pointing fingers, blaming Romney and blathering on about who to run in 2016 and how to suck up to the minorities.

>Polls indicated that Romney was going to win the election.

>The economy is close to Great Depression era conditions, and unemployment is almost as high as when Obama entered office.

>Economic conditions became so dire after Obama took office it prompted the rise of an entire new movement, the Tea Party.

>Presidents rarely win reelection when the economy is in the tank.

>Mitt knew it too, when he was met by several thousand in that parking garage cheering him when he arrived unannounced at that airport, and he put his hand over his heart and said, 'This is how you know you've won'.

So how did Romney lose a race that numerous reputable polls and pundits predicted would be an easy win, based on historical patterns?

Massive voter fraud.

That and no other reason

Almost every major Conservative website has put out an article charging voter fraud- Breitbart, American Thinker, Atlas Shrugs, WND, The Blaze, Front Page Magazine, Fox News, The Daily Caller, Town Hall, Human Events, Canada Free Press...


We can not wait for 2014 and 2016 to regroup and figure out new strategies. By then it will be too late. The Marxist/Muslim usurper will have completed his planned distruction of America. That's what people fail to understand.

We must act NOW.

Start with the election. If we let the Rats get away with this massive voter fraud, we're no better than a bananna republic.

We must keep digging and pounding him every day, in every way we can- phony birth certificate, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, his hidden life, records....

'These elections are NOT certified yet.

EVEN IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER STATE you can help. But it won’t do any good to dilute our effort to challenge California or Michigan or other states. Until a major group gets involved to do more, here is the plan: Contact the Secretary of State of the state in question. See contact information below... '

'This election is not over - YET. Obama has not been elected by the Electoral College - YET. The Presidential election is being stolen from us with "Chicago Style" thuggery - and we can STOP the thieves in their tracks. But we do not have time on our side. This is our LAST chance. Don't give up. We must act now.

If massive voter fraud has occured as alleged by so many, and if the state vote counts include these FRAUDULENT votes, then is it logical to say that the entire state vote is COMPROMISED and can't be trusted? 59,000,000 Americans might agree!

The state vote is used to determine the allocation of Electors in the Electoral College which actually elects the President and Vice President.

If the vote count is FRAUDULENT, FLAWED, and CAN'T BE TRUSTED - and if the Electors have been FRAUDULENTLY allocated based on FLAWED vote counts - then WE CANNOT ALLOW THE GOVERNORS TO SIGN THEIR CERTIFICATES of ASCERTAINMENT on December 17th. We can stop this if we ACT IMMEDIATELY.

***** CALL TO ARMS ***** FIVE STATE CAPITOLS ***** SEVEN DAYS *******

Patriots must rally NOW in the State Capitols of Harrisburg,PA - Richmond, VA - Tallahassee, FL - Columbus, OH, and Madison, WI ****** MASSIVE RALLIES ** *** PATRIOT LEADERS ORGANIZE YOUR LOCAL EFFORTS NOW, coordinate with the other PATRIOT groups as they also rally, let us know who you are and how you will respond, how we can help.

Nothing anyone does will affect it.

The voters of today (not necessarily of tomorrow) have an attention span of half a segment of a sitcom before the commercial.

No. Hillary does not give one crap about what people think of her. 47% of the people are hers, at least today. Romney d head should have stuck with that premise and gone with it. He was 100% correct. Teh rest, she can get one way or another.
.
When republicans figure out how to deal with that fact they can discuss running a candidate

Newt has great ideas. He has no self discipline. Many people hate him and hwe is not comfortable with that.

But he was done 25 years ago.
