The American people had 4 years, 1994-1998, to compare Newt to Clinton. Who do people admire more today? Who was forced to resign in disgrace? Who was blamed for the government shutdown in 1995? Who got ALL the credit for balancing the budget, creating a surplus and reforming welfare??? There are few people on this planet whom I despise more than Bill Clinton but I gotta admit...Clinton ate Newt for breakfast. I don't think a Newt candidacy will work.
wrong!!! The media grilled Newt and served him on a platter to Clintoon.
That is why Newt has taken on the media as his first opponent. He has their number and they are skeered.
Clinton knows that Newt made him look good on policy and the economy - and Clinton still takes the undeserved credit.
Newt has found his voice as an individual - no longer beholden to the GOP elites. They stabbed him in the back after he carried them on it for years. He has their number and they are skeered.
New candidates for the House and Senate should look to Newt to carry them in the GOP primaries and on to victory. He will get their number and they will be elected also.
And Newt will eat Obama for breakfast in the debates, in a way no other candidate will be able to do.
