Iowa voter to Newt Gingrich: “You’re an embarrassment”
How many more days of this can Newt Gingrich handle:


IOWA REPUBLICAN: What you just did to Paul Ryan is unforgivable.

GINGRICH: I didn't do anything to Paul Ryan.

IOWA REPUBLICAN: Yes, you did. You undercut him ... you're an embarrassment to our party.

GINGRICH: I'm sorry you feel that way.

IOWA REPUBLICAN: Why don't you get out before you make a bigger fool of yourself?

1. IMHO
both Newt Gingrich and Paul Ryan are embarrassments to this country. They deserve each other.

3. And I'm sure the same is true of this Iowa Repuke -- but go to it, Repukes:
do rip each other apart.

5. The Iowa Republican Caucus Voters are as wacky as they come.
Remember they picked Huckabee in 2008. They pretty much mainline Glen Beck, Fox News, and Limbaugh.

4. The Gingrich show is schedule to last another two months.I think Trump and Gingrich are just a stall
a distraction, a way to burn up time during this election cycle. If we didn't have this dog and pony show obstacle course to maneuver through we would be filling air-time with substantive discussion on policy and issues that really matter. Who's in? Who's out? it's all focused on the GOP, none of them can take out Obama. And they know it, to their core they know, because their ideas and vision are not what the people want and it is quickly becoming exposed within their ranks just how flawed their shtick is. They are losing ground and they can't stop it, Their only hope is to slow it down by stalling and waiting for the great white hope to emerge. We still have to endure Bachmann, Paul, probably others also. As time whittles down the lineup becomes more moderate I see the final four as Mitch Daniels, Mitt Romney, John Thune and after they go through this elaborate production of putting together a committee to search for the country's best person ever (the Cheney for VP gig) Tah Dah, Jeb Bush will be unveiled around this time next year. Watching the "vast right-wing" machine is like watching ants build a colony, some have jobs of fetching building materials (the Roberts Court) some fetching food (Koch Astroturf) some stand guard (the Right-wing media machine) all have a common goal, A Queen, and it's CAPITALISM.
