"Gingrich to House GOP: Drop Dead."
. . . Asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday about Paul Ryan's reform plan, Mr. Gingrich chose to throw his former allies in the GOP House not so much under the bus as off the Grand Canyon rim.The Ryan program "is too big a jump," he said. . . . "I'm against ObamaCare, which is imposing radical change. And I would be against a conservative imposing radical change.
Criticizing Nut for attacking the Ryan's plan, the WSJ said:
The episode reveals the Georgian's weakness as a candidate, and especially as a potential President—to wit, his odd combination of partisan, divisive rhetoric and poll-driven policy timidity. . . . Mr. Ryan speaks softly but proposes policies commensurate with America's problems. Mr. Gingrich speaks loudly but shrinks from hard choices. Who's the "radical" and who's the real leader?Nut, your campaign is in big trouble. Let us count the ways: The Club for Growth doesn't like you. You're just 1% ahead of Sarah Palin in the polls. The people have a preponderantly negative view of you. And now the WSJ doesn't like you.
Now just who is it that thinks you're what the country needs?

News out this morning: Nut has called Paul Ryan to apologize, saying he made a mistake and of course he supports his budget plan.
ReplyDeleteAnd, he adds, in his typical fashion, that he will defend, will answer to any Democrat who tries to distort what he said.
How many such "mistakes" are voters going to give him? I think he's already had his limit.
One more nail in Nut's coffin. He fired back at David Gregory's question on Meet the Press about Ryan's health care plan, referring to it as a "set-up" question. Says he didn't go into the interview "guite hostile enough" -- implying that he was set-up for a trap.
ReplyDeleteGregory has fired back: Nut knew exactly what he was getting into and he answered the way he wanted to. He's been on the show 34 times; he's no novice that was blind-sided.
Then Nut's representative fired off an accusation at the press claiming they're out to get him.
That's not going to work, Nut. You'll just turn the press against you -- even more than they already are.
You're TOAST.
IMHO, Nut has flamed out even sooner than I expected.
ReplyDeleteGood riddance ! ! !
