Here are two sentences that buttress the argument of those of us who said Newt Gingrich was temperamentally unfit to be president by virtue of his chronic indiscipline, erratic style and lack of philosophical grounding. It comes from Michael Moore, perhaps the most visible and harshest American critic of capitalism in the last couple of decades.
In commenting on Newt Gingrich’s assault on Bain Capital specifically and capitalism more broadly, here is what Mr. Moore said: “I wondered who they stole from my crew. It was fun to hear what I have been saying for 20 years, not just by any Republican candidate, but Newt Gingrich.”
Say goodnight, Newt.
I think that Newt never had a chance. He had too much against him and yes he is temperamentally unsuited. The Bain thing was the last straw. It was such a shallow attack. The people who got into difficulties may have got into difficulties anyway over market forces nothing to do with Mr Romney. Bain Capital was the last desperate attempt by Newt to destroy Romney. It did more damage to him that it did to Romney. Newt does not have the family life history that Romney has and that disqualifies him in the eyes of many conservatives.
