Well said! That’s why I am so surprised Gingrich, who knows better, is hoping on board with that line of thinking. It’s just mind boggling. Look, Gingrich is a scumbag, no question about that, but he isn’t an idiot when it comes to politics. He knows what works and how to play the game. Latching on to this is absurd…

Hey, you made mistakes and learned from them. You know how rare it is for somebody to look within rather than outward? I admire anybody who recognizes something isn’t working for them, does some reflecting and makes positive changes instead of playing the blame game. Again, good for you!

What an awesome and refreshing post! I wish you the very best in life and your new lease on it. **High Five!**

That’s an interesting theory. Hmm.

Of course it’s personal, that I’m not disputing. What seems bizarre to me is to go after a non-political entity. There is lots of red meat in the Clinton camp. That’s what they should go after, not this woman. This will not sway people to their side. What I was trying to say, and failed to do, was Newt to me seemed…

I agree. My confusion was why a pretty savvy guy, politically wise, would go down that road. I never for a second doubted Newt being a piece of shit or wanting to hitch his coattails to Trump. Gingrich, Christie and Guiliani all do. Gingrich just seems more “political” though than to continue to drive the story and…

Excellent point.

Ha, ha.

Very true.

Ooooff. I forgot about that. Yeah, he’s not savvy.

He’s 73 now. No way could he make a run in 4 years.

Gingrich appeared on television himself though to further attack Ms. Macado. If he wanted to help his candidate, he should have privately told Trump to knock it off. I guess “reign in” was a poor choice of words. Gingrich should have stayed silent on this to allow the story to die down. He’s just adding fuel to the…

Oh I am not questioning why Gingrich got involved in the Trump campaign. I know full well he wants his seat at the table. What I am questioning is why he would allow his candidate to double down on something that is really going to hurt the Trump campaign. I should have worded my post better.

Cunning is a great descriptor. Yes, that’s what he is and why his current course is so baffling. There is nothing cunning about attacking a woman’s weight. A private citizen and non-politician at that.

You have a point. He just seems “smarter” than that. You know?

If he wants to remain in politics then he really should be reigning in his candidate. This is the wrong road to travel down.

Perhaps intelligence was the wrong choice of words. Finesse?

I wasn’t talking about “spin”. This guy was the Speaker of the House and helped countless campaigns. Telling his candidate to further dig himself in to a hole just seems weird, even for Gingrich. Actually, especially for Gingrich. He has much more finesse than that. Hell, who knows though. So many of the establishment…

Attacking Bill Clinton was political though. Him egging Trump on to attack a non political private citizen seems really odd. Surely he must know that is not what women want to hear?

You may be right.
