Putting it mildly. I maintained for a long time that Newt’s one and only victory was the 1994 Contract For America. He had Bubba Clintoon on the ropes throughout 1995... right up until the budget “showdown.” All Newtie had to do was to hold firm, but instead he folded like a cheap suit and that permitted Bubba to get his proverbial mojo back and subject the country to 5 more years of his corruption and perversion. Even Dole could’ve taken out Bubba had Newtie stood his ground.
From that point on, right up until today, the GOP has been the gutless coward party. Anyone supporting Newtie, who ignored his failure at a pivotal moment in time and thought he was a great leader and Presidential timber just was out to lunch. Eddie got too emotionally invested in supporting Newtie. Yes, he denied it, but his hysterical attacks on others that pointed out his enormous shortcomings and unpopularity (not only with the nation at large, but with the base of the GOP and his flakiness and wanting to be loved and embraced by the establishment) showed that Mr. Published Author clearly lost all perspective where Newtie was concerned.
