Does Newt Gingrich actually think he can be President? Seriously?
Is he just unable to see himself the way even his fellow GOPers see him?

Between his shady personal life history and his getting run out of Congress on a rail for overreaching during the Clinton years, does he not get that the GOP values him for being deviously intelligent and being a strategist and manipulating language for GOP propaganda, but that there's no way in hell he'd ever make it as the front man?

What's the deal with this guy?

:shrug:

1. Remember that he has friends and admirers - toadies - telling him that he could become President
Every potential candidate will have people praising him or her and urging him or her to run.

2. Of course it isn't like he has ever had an affair or
been married more than once!

5. First, let us see if he can teach the Teabaggers there are some
basics in this country.

There are two parties and Democrats have just the same rights
as Republicans.

If he can teach his base that no matter how passionately they
believe in Conservatism, they have to be big enough to recognize
that Liberals have every right to believe as they do . Compromise
is not a dirty word. Conservatives have to give and Liberals
have to give. Having a base that insist that Republicans never
compromise is a loser in the long run. Republicans begin and
do look rigid. My way or the high way, lost them to elections
now. People are smart enough now they know the Republicans will
not cooperate. This is why the polls are the way they are.

If he could accomplish this, you know he might have a chance.

6. The guy's got all the characteristics of a narcissist- so my guess is he not only believes it
but blames others for the fact that he's not already there.
