Rush said it could be because Newt wouldn’t drop out (and Rick knew he couldn’t win unless that happened).
Newt, your ego may have given us Romney, and then 4 more years of Obama. No Republican presidential candidate has won in the last century + against an incumbent except for Ronald Reagan, a CONSERVATIVE.
Rush speculated toward the end of his show that Rick may have felt the others would not join him in a coalition in Tampa. He didn't say what you just wrote.
Remember when I said anything could and would happen in this election the next few months? Well, this is an example.
Santorum is out and Gingrich is still in. Romney is a national socialist, a fascist, and the furthest type of statesman Conservative Republicans can imagine running as their candidate.
Sun, you can keep whining about “ego” or you can help get Romney defeated. Gingrich had nothing to do with Romney running for the Republican candidacy, nor did he “give” Romeny anything.
Newt Gingrich is pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment and loves America and understands its citizens. As a historian, he thoroughly knows the U.S. Constitution and our nation’s history.
He allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy.
Washington is broken, it doesn’t work the way it is supposed to and Newt said, if elected, he will work to change the way Washington, D.C., does business.
