That does it!

No house in the moon colony for Roger!

Newt has his share of faults but all the random carping done on him aren´t his problem, His biggest problem,even among his supporters is unceremoniously dumping his first two wives. The hit piece they came up with about Newt wanting an open marriage was a real deal killer.One thing for sure is Newt didn´t like Romney´s wealth giving him such an advantage but him shooting himself in the foot was a bigger problem than that.Newt had a plan to seriously attack medicare and medicaid fraud which are huge problems a leftist like Obama couldn´t care less about.

To me,Guliani would have been our best candidate this time but he would never have passed the purity tests.He would have tackled the country´s problems with conservative solutions regardless of a couple outlier positions.

If you didn´t realize that Gingrich was what Ailes called him, you haven´t been paying attention for the last 10 years. Hey, Roger! It takes one to know one.

Some people would say "yeah, but he´s our p***k!"

I agree with #1 that Gingrich´s personal life was a factor in the primaries, but a much bigger one was our sense that Gingrich´s attention span is about this ( ) long. The problems facing us required focus and Gingrich didn´t have it. As for Romney´s wealth being a burr under Newt´s saddle blanket, for goodness sake, he had a mega-rich donor opening the vault for him. What´s to resent?

Yes, Gingrich is a p***k, but I wish he was currently House speaker. That´s what it will take to stand up to Obama, Reid and other socialist Democrats.

Newt is just too logical and too white.

Like Sarah or John Bolton he has both the capacity for and the habit of speaking the truth without fear or favor and that scares the bejesus out of the go-along / get-along types.

A good CEO would have welcomed the talents of perhaps the most insightful and accomplished political tactician our side has seen in 50 years, matter how unfocused. A liberal republican who achieved his front runner status by quietly pledging to end the threat of populist conservatism to establishment republicanism would engage in a scorched earth, etch a sketch campaign. I´m glad Ailes is so pleased with the results.

Newt is right. Fox is the network who has Rove and Dana and other republican establishment types

I agree with 2 and 6 - newtie used to be a good guy but has degenerated into a real mess. Thank heavens for Ailes and Fox news.

Politico up to their tricks. That´s all. "P....k" can be a term of admiration in some instances. For example, that´s the kind of lawyer you want if you are suing someone.

So, without all the context, we don´t know what Ailes really was saying. But I do think Ailes has spit in the face of those of us who watched FoxNews religiously over the years by moving toward the left. Just to make more money, in my opinion. I thought FoxNews was different but I don´t think that anymore.

I agree with #8. As a student of History, Newt has forgotten more than most of us will ever know. I personally liked his leadership in the House as Speaker.
Those who do not study History are doomed to repeat it.
Now, consider Obama as King George.

Roger can´t take a complaint without a breakdown and having to write a book. Take a vacation, Roger. You are taking yourself way too seriously.

Newt´s biggest problem is his own inflated ego. He played the money card that obama built on to help overcome Mitt Romney. Can´t say beat Mitt Romney due to the unanswerable question of minority area voter fraud (which cannot be addressed due to GOP agreeing not to ever look under the covers there.)

Newt along with other primary players did all they could to undermine the strongest and as it played out inevitable winner. Sarah Palin also lost creds by backing Newt in North Carolina and became a silly twit in my formerly slavishly devoted to fresh-faced Sarah mind. Wanted to have the primary drag on to convention. I can´t help cynically wondering if she wanted to take the convention by acclamation.

Newt? We or rather I know he would take the advancement in power and privileges any way he could/can get it. Rubio and Christie showed themselves more interested in their own chances in 2016 IMO, Michelle Bachman showed that the hard right can be easily overcome in the public´s mind - keep trying total abortion prohibition and lose lose lose. Meanwhile the inexperienced and highly dogmatic Tea party gives away all the strengths it gave us by infighting with the GOP establishment.

The religious right ought to be fasting and praying not meddling in "My way or the highway" politics. The country has been conditioned to fear the right wing bigots and hail the left wing marvelous feelers.

What next? Hillary and Jeb in 2016--two political dynasties facing off?

Well said, #15. In addition, I don´t believe Gingrich really wanted the job, but merely needed the media attention for further books and speeches. Fortunately, primary voters didn´t buy his insincere schtick.

Amen #15 and thanks for a great comment!

Right as usual #6 & 15, funny how our newt memories are quite different.

Newt will say anything, and it means nothing. Those of you who listen to him are wasting your time. It´s just his mouth moving.

The amen choir is accounted for I see. As for Newt..lost respect for him long ago and he did not do anything to regain my trust. He was my congressman in Georgia years ago and we were so proud of him. Then suddenly he lost his way..a la zipper and money..but since he was a Repub we did applaud his lack of character like the Dems do.
Palin made a mistake backing Newt but he did seem to be positioning himself to the right. When Perry folded like a cheap tent I lost heart and knew we were stuck with Romney. Personally I do think the election had a great deal of cheating and vote tampering but Romney also did not give the independents a reason to vote for him. He had Romneycare so how could he use Obamacare to get votes. Romney did not bring up Benghezi..he did not bring up anything that could hurt Obama. Romney is a good man but he fights drones with slingshots. We will always lose unless Repubs learn to fight.
