So who is your choice?
Newt unless a better option appears, which I doubt at this point. Wanted Mitch Daniels.
And it’s not blanket amnesty. Just because Romney, Bachman etal shout it doesn’t make it true. Once the borders are secure, which we all agree on, there has to be a plan for the 11M illegals in the country. I may not love all the aspects of his plan, but at least he’s presenting one with carrots and sticks. The others just yell “amnesty” without a realistic plan of their own. Again, only one adult in the room.
But he needs to stop with the sophomoric humor applause lines (telepromptor etc) and start rising to the bar of presidential timber if he’s going to succeed.
Lastly, and I’m not claiming equivalency, but Newt’s career does, in many ways, mirror Churchill’s with the years in the wilderness and being the right person at a critical time. Many have written on this and it makes sense. 2008 or 2016, no. 2012, maybe a huge YES. I’m sure he’d welcome back the bust that Nobama insultingly sent back.
