Gingrich: Let’s face it, I’m going to be the nominee
Hot Air ^ | DECEMBER 1, 2011 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 12/01/2011 3:23:05 PM PST by RobinMasters

He’s at 50 percent in Florida and nationally, among likely voters, enjoys a 20-point lead on Romney. He’s not blowing smoke here. If he doesn’t stumble this month and Cain drops out, it’s absolutely possible that he’ll run the table in the early states. Unlike in other years, that itself won’t cinch the nomination — Romney’s got the cash and organization to press on, and there’ll be time before Super Tuesday for Newt to cool off — but still.

I feel like Pascow in “Pet Sematary,” pleading with Dr. Creed not to let his desperation drive him to something terrible. You don’t have to nominate Newt. You don’t have to do this, Louis.

We picked McCain to appeal to moderates and latinos. He lost both groups even worse than Bush. What makes you think Newt pandering to people with amnesty is going to do us any good?

Yeah, because every one of my posts is just bashing Newt, sure, and my one week or so on this forum has had a huge impact on his campaign. Take your meds.

Well, any operative (or at least his handler) with a single brain cell would know that EVERY post couldn’t be about Newt. And I was speaking collectively. You guys are doing a great job. Obviously. Again, you sure aint no “buzz kill”. Agreed? What exactly have you killed? Anyone else’s chances of winning? Yep, and that’s about it. Mission accomplished.

It was all a damned lie. Bring yourself up to date and join the beat Obama world. Or go vote for Paul, or third party or write-in, or don’t vote. The Gingrich landslide will not need your vote. Are you tired of not voting yet?

“Newt is absolutely right!
He made that statement to mkae Romney have a cardiac arrest.”

Correct. This is a 2 martini night for Willard. Newt is surging ahead and he is seeing his precious nomination float away.

Sheep will be sheep. You can have your RINO Newt. Don’t come crying when you start feeling the buyer’s remorse later.

I'm not running for POTUS. But I see Newt with eyes wide open.

Mayo Clinic's Description of Narcissist:

“Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.”

Newt's comments/behaviors:

I'm Going To Be the Nominee
Cheating on two wives who supported Newt, yet he divorces them without remorse and immediately remarries.
Has a temper and a smart snarky tongue which lashes out at the list bit of criticism from anyone. Even when the criticism is real and justified.

Pompous, Braggard, Most Intelligent Man in the Room.

Now that is how I perceive Newt Gingrich....you, of course, have the right to disagree.

It’s a long time to Iowa, SC and Florida.

Seems we have quite a few FReepers who will not vote for Gingrich or Romney. Does this include in the General Election? If so, don't be disappointed if we get 4 more years of the Marxist. Personally, my motto is, ANYBODY BUT OBAMA

If he really said this - it could be the beginning of his implosion because of his lack of discipline.

***********************************

Which he does. All of his troubles he caused for himself.

That said, it is good to hear the sound of Romney getting crunched into the gravel. Finally.

I see him that way too, but narcissism is almost a prerequisite for politicians who aspire to high office. Decent people who accurately assess what the job demands and what they can bring, will almost always turn away.

A cop has to pass a psych screening test in most cities. Politicians who are far more powerful? Nothing, except the election ordeal itself.
