I like President-elect Newt.
I did - do too. But my question is... will he listen to ideas of others? We have a president who refused to go with any agenda other than his own and look where it got us.iven. He can win against Obama in any debate. That is a given. Is he the leader that will not shoot off his mouth without thinking? If another idea comes in contrary to his own, will he give it the credence it deserves while considering it?
What did you think of Gingrich's criticism of Paul Ryan's budget plan? One comment he had to apologize for?
He got Clinton and the democrats to work with him in the 90's. Achieved things such as welfare to work programs that would make todays democrats scrape their nails on the chalk board. That is more than ANY recent politician can offer as evidence that he can lead, including Obama.
While he does have some bizarre ideas and says some stupid things keep it in perspective. Einstein and the Wright brothers were considered a bit over the edge in their time as well. And no I'm not comparing them just saying use some perspective.
As far as the Missouri primary goes from my understanding the primary (which he isn't on the ballot) is meaningless. The caucus that counts is a few days later and he is eligible. I don't know any details on Virginia but it seems they all failed the requirements except for Mitt and Paul. That just seems very strange to me.
In the end it comes down to who can govern in this environment. Newt has a proven track record while the others have (hope).
