The Republican establishment is apoplectic at the prospect of Newt Gingrich. If Newt wins florida there will be a spasm with no precedent in modern US politics. They hate him with a palpable passion greater than any passion they feel, other than their passion for money and power.
It could split the party into the elites (1%) and everybody else. Just like the democrats, the elites are not going to surrender their fiefdoms without an apocalyptic battle.
My very strong suspicion is that if Newt gets the nomination, many members of the Republican elite will support obama, and there will be many who jump to the Democrat party. Many of them will be famous names.
But I have to say, it’s not just a strong suspicion, it’s a powerful hope.
I always thought that 2012 would be the showdown with the marxists. Here’s hoping it’s the showdown with the marxist enablers as well.
