That’s Gingrich, he always has to be the smartest man in the room and often leaves common sense at the door. He has made comments about Trump that have been completely wrong, but most of the time is spot on.
Yup he outsmarted himself when he let Romney get to the right of him on the most important issue to conservative middle class voters (and more then a few moderate D’s). Romney was most likely lying but cut off the benefits and “let them self deport” worked for me. I still think that is a good idea.
