3. Gingrich is just playing up to the psychopathic base of his party

Sure he's a hypocrite who condemned the violation of child labor laws in the past. But as ugly as Gingrich is, the modern Republican electorate is even uglier. Gingrich is just reaching for things the far right wants to hear, like electrocuting aliens at the border or letting uninsured people die. He's heard the cheers and applause of other candidates at the debates in celebration of cruelty. I don't think Gingrich is a true believer. He'll say just about anything. What he wants is power, evidenced by the way he spent decades lusting to be Speaker of the House before he even ran for public office. That explains his ever-changing positions. The worse scum than Gingrich are our average fellow United States citizens who support this kind of filth and who clearly are of very low character and morality.
