“NOW can you Gingrich fanboys/girls finally grasp why I don’t talk the guy up.”
I’ve always held him in high regard, but he sure can put his foot in it too. In this case, I just think time has passed him by. Decades have come and gone since his day in the sun, and even then, he was outmaneuvered at the end.
The Post WWII era is ending. It began with the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and Soviet Union. Entropy and costs are now dissolving the Western models too. Newt doesn’t see that. Probably can’t.
I don’t disagree with your follow-on comments.
My problem with him is that he plays it up that he’s on your side. So you put him in a position of authority. He’s a spokesman of sorts for Trump.
Then when folks think he’s an insider, he pops off like this.
Then the media plays it up that he’s an insider, a staunch support of Trump, who he himself can’t even put up with the tragic mistakes Trump has made.
It makes me furious when he does this. He’s done it at critical times for several decades.
Enough of this guy.
