Newt Gingrich went on with Sean Hannity tonight after the Donald Trump’s Indiana blowout and after Ted Cruz suspended his campaign.
Newt argued that Donald Trump could be the “the most effective anti-left leader in our lifetime.”
Newt added that anyone who does not support Trump is supporting Hillary.
First of all, Donald Trump may turn out to be the most effective anti-left leader in our lifetime. He is against political correctness. He is against bureaucracy. He places American nationalism first which I think we desperately need. I’m tired of being told we have to phony agreements and phony efforts and I watch John Kerry rush from five-star hotel to five-star hotel trying to get a phony peace agreement that is an absurdity… I think Trump could be a return to a more of an Eisenhower kind of realism that none-the-less is conservatism. And he may do more to dismantle the left than anybody in our lifetime… The other side is, if you’re not for Donald Trump, you’re effectively for Hillary Clinton.
Newt would be great in that spot...
My stereotype was of Cruz supporters, not evangelicals.
Most evangelicals are rational and reasonable. Reasoned individuals.
But Cruz has a large percentage of evangelicals in his constituency...they dominate.
They are the unreasonable minority.
But, frankly, I've thought ALL Cruz supporters were unreasonable and delusional ever since the Colorado fiasco and they're attempt to usurp the voting majority in the name of "rules".
It may be an FR record.
I've been here along time and I think this might be a first.
You and 2ndDivisionVet should car pool to this year's FReepy Awards.
To everyone calling for Newt as Veep, check his age and then start adding 4, 8, and 12 years. Do the arithmetic.
Seriously?
Excellent! Newt is right and glad he is pointing it out.
I appreciate Gingrich saying this.
He is right.
Can we have a moments peace here before all the folks who wanted someone other than Trump start fights about Trump’s V.P. pick?
Enough talk of this!
Trump will announce in due time.
We do not need to start a feud over this.
The odds were stacked high against the Cruz people these past 1-2 months, so the extreme attitude makes more sense.
Self-described evangelicals often went overwhelmingly for Trump. That’s probably not a fair stereotype.
***
True, but a huge amount of neverTrump twits claimed to be evangelical and said that anyone supporting Trump was going to Hell.
I suspect that a few of them were liberal trolls.
A few of them actually seemed serious.
If JimRob feels I've (somehow, in some inexplicable way) crossed the line of no return, I've no doubt it will be disappeared, promptly and properly.
My favorite phrase from the article?
Dismantle the left
Kent, I didn’t meant that to be to you specifically.
There are a bunch of folks going for it down thread.
Amen brother!
Newt Gingrich has been a voice of reason
Hope there will be a role for him
WH Chief of Staff?
I think Newt should be Trump’s Chief of Staff.
He knows where all the Bodies are buried and he can help navigate the Jungle that is D.C.
Yes, I sometimes lose sight of the fact I’m not talking to the thread starter, so it has a different impact.
Sorry about that.
Sure, anecdotally there’s always going to be a few of those individuals. But the statistics illustrate a far different reality.
Great minds and all that Jazz.
