VDH took a look last night and analyzed the situation with calm reflection as he always does: How To Make a Bad Night Worse.
Essentially, VDH says Gingrich is at his best when he spent “about three minutes of inspired moments about issues and ideas in his usual imaginative and intellectually robust style.”
However, as every thinking person can see…Newtrino has devolved into “little more than a litany of excuses, whining, and accusations — characterized by stream-of-conscious confessionals and rambling repetitions. And, I think, will hurt him more than anything yet in the campaign.”
It’s a turnoff of epic proportions. The candidacy that was once easily titled “Great Expectations” has now become “Great Expectorations” as he spits out a mouthful of venom at Romney and barely addresses key issues that matter to the country…you know, the place he says he wants to serve.
Worse news on a harsh night, Sheldon Adelson (according the the Daily Duranty…so take this for what it’s worth), would gladly back Romney the minute Newtrino implodes for good. He does NOT harbor anti-Romney sentiments, unlike much of his very rabid support.
One point worth noting in the Daily Duranty article…something I have been pondering…where are Newtrino’s advisors and campaign staff as he slides deeper and deeper into this stalker obsession?
Mr. Gingrich, whose campaign treasury is severely depleted, is being advised by his inner circle to spend the weeks leading up to Super Tuesday on March 6 resting up, getting Mr. Romney’s attacks out of his head and recalibrating his campaign message to highlight his positive ideas.
The Newtonian Implosion was bound to happen. It was just a matter of when. In this primary, it has happened repeatedly. His entire campaign staff walked out on him, he had some memorable moments in debates…mostly on issues related to leftist media…and now he has dragged his campaign down yet again.
Most of what remains of his support comes from the severely undereducated, the severely unsuccessful and the angry, frustrated, all emotion/all the time voter.
He is losing everyone else in droves. And handing the nomination to Romney.
Romney is tone deaf and Gingrich won’t listen.
Great Expectorations, indeed. (chuckle). It was not easy to watch the Speaker, a man whom I had previously admired, react like a wounded animal and fall so precipitously after SC. But it is what it is. I harbor no ill feelings toward the Speaker, and would support him if, by divine intervention, he gets the prize he so desperately wants. But when I first saw the adjective “Nixonian” used on him, I knew the sharks were circling. Don’t get me wrong, I really liked Nixon. Yes, he was a scalawag, but he was OUR scalawag! But comparing someone to him is implying that person has the famous Nixonian “fatal flaw”, i.e., the subconscious desire to fail. Oh, and neutrino is not a good nickname for Newt because neutrions do not have an electric charge, and say what you want about him, the Speaker is very good at creating sparks.
I had shortened it from Unstable Newtrino…but your point is well taken.
It was just a drollery.
You captured it in a nutshell: “Romney is tone deaf and Gingrich won’t listen.”
Pretty much. I could wish for different candidates, but for whatever reason, we have what we have, and gotta make the best of it.
Most of what remains of his support comes from the severely undereducated, the severely unsuccessful and the angry, frustrated, all emotion/all the time voter.
Perhaps if all of you educated marvels could simply construct a list of what Gingrich has accomplished when actually passing laws and the resulting impact upon America as compared to the laws passed by Romney, we could all judge for ourselves just who among us is uneducated.
If that wouldn’t be too much trouble, kind sir.
I’m sure you could do that yourself, since you’ve apparently decided who you’re supporting based on the facts rather than on raw, primal emotion.
