I keep hearing a reason supporter's of Newt like him is because he will 'decimate' Obama in debates.
'Clean his clock', 'tear him to shreds', 'destroy him'. I'm sure in certain redneck circles you hear 'give that uppity, (insert racial epitaph here), a good beating'.
Blinded by the racial stereotypes they were raised on they cant comprehend the intellectual prowess of the man. Huge under estimation of his debating skills and the tools he will have at his disposal when the time comes to face off against this blowhard.
They want the Grinch will be the nominee, not because he's the better candidate, none of them are the better candidate. because he's the voice of the haters. he's their outlet.
I'm beginning to think the right knows they will lose this election and the only thing they cant stomach worse then that, is losing with Romney.
They would prefer to lose with the Grinch. They think he will at least beat on Obama.
Satisfy their racist's desires to see him humiliated. Make them feel a little better if they have to have him for another four years, at least they can say our Newt humiliated him in the debates. He's the 'American Idol' president, but at least Newt put that (epitaph) in his place like he did Juan Williams.
The humiliation will be there own.
By general elections,if he is the nominee, there will be no stoned unturned to uncover every unethical, illegal, and just fucking creepy thing Newt has ever done in his political and private life. Whats he gonna hit Barrack with? Food stamp president?
Barrack can simply point out the reason more people are on food stamps is because of the negligent handling of the economy the eight years Repubs were in charge.
How most food stamps recipients also work. And so on..just point out the obvious things that most Americans have gone through the last 8-10 yrs. and know are true.
Newt is the one who will beaten down. Before he ever gets the chance to stand on a podium opposite Obama, he will be mentally exhausted, decimated by his own party.He's already fallen back on his heels in the debates a bit, from Romney....Romney.
Please.
Obama will cool, poised, prepared,and have so much more to hit him with then Grinch will have.
It will be cool, tanned Kennedy against the sweaty,pale Nixon all over again.
Great delusions of grandeur on their part.
