Newt Gingrich: Trump won the debate. Don't believe the "Intellectual Yet Idiot" class
Fox News ^ | September 27, 2016 | Newt Gingrich

Posted on 09/27/2016 11:45:26 PM PDT by aquila48

After all my years in public life I am sickened by the intellectual dishonesty, arrogance, and smugness of what Nassim Taleb calls the Intellectual Yet Idiots.

The IYI's showed up immediately after the debate.

They stacked the deck against Trump with Lester Holt's one-sided questions and interventions.

The Holt-Clinton team was glib, articulate, and self-congratulatory. However, they lost.

Trump wins strategically because in a blunt, clear style, he is saying things most Americans believe. Trump's opponents, including Holt and Clinton, felt good after the debate because their side was glib, articulate, and said things they and their friends believe to be true.

The Intellectual Yet Idiot class that dominates our news media fell all over themselves critiquing Trump and praising Holt and Clinton.

In doing so, they repeated the mistake they have made about every debate since August 2015.

Trump wins strategically because in a blunt, clear style, he is saying things most Americans believe.

Trump's opponents, including Holt and Clinton, felt good after the debate because their side was glib, articulate, and said things they and their friends believe to be true.

Trump's opponents, including Holt and Clinton, felt good after the debate because they love the smell of their own farts.

Here are the real Poll Results, Clinton - 33%, Holt - 33%, Trump - 34%.

If Kaine has an Eyebrow Meltdown, Holt will be Hillary’s new V.P.

As far as Newt’s comments, I need to share something my Dear Late Mother used to say, “some people are so smart, they’re stupid”.

The Older I get the more I understand what she meant.

Yup. When he’s off the couch and jumps into the fray he’s masterful.

Now they’re saying online polls don’t count because it’s just people picking the person they want to win. Huh? Isn’t that what voting is?

Speaking of the media, is anyone as thoroughly disgusted by the Red-Eye Radio guys Eric and Gary as I am? They have put Donald Trump under a 16 month microscope and put every flaw up on a Jumbo-Tron. I mean the guy ain't perfect but WTF? In effect, they are dissemination pro-Hillary propaganda, and they claim to be conservatives.

No I’m not - I don’t watch or listen to them - therefore I enjoy a life with one less disgust.

Why do you keep watching or listening to stuff that disgusts you??

Why does WSB radio station in Atlanta keep Eric on the radio? Don’t support the show’s advertisers and maybe they’ll boot him off.

Even Cruz and Mark Levin are voting for Trump.

They are about as funny as a toothache. They’re all disgusting. I hope when DJT becomes president, that we see a complete overhaul/cleanout of these disgusting liberals from the airwaves....and that they are replaced with intelligent, interesting, and fun patriots.

He does this to you. His great moments can be tremendous. He’ll go off reservation again at some point.

I’ve always liked and respected him, but putting up with his ‘wandering off’ is part of the package and it can be infuriating.

The morning after the debate, CNN had a poll of what they described as 20 undecided voters. 2 abstained and 18 thought Hillary won the debate.

Where does CNN get these folks from?
