Yeah, just like Thatcher and Reagan except for one little thing...
Seriously, I'm laughing out loud
at this:
Newt Gingrich is cutting back his campaign schedule, will lay off about a third of his cash-strapped campaign’s full-time staff, and has replaced his manager as part of what aides are calling a “big-choice convention” strategy, communications director Joe DeSantis told POLITICO.
The details:
“We’re focusing exclusively on what it’ll take to win what we’re going to be calling a big-choice convention in August,” DeSantis said in a phone interview Tuesday night.
In other words, he's suspending his campaign. Proof:
But another campaign official said the layoffs would largely affect junior and advance staff, the latter of which was contracted out to Gordon James Public Relations.
Or to put it differently: Newt Gingrich will still do interviews and he'll still tweet, but he's done campaigning. And by the way ... how fitting is it that he had outsourced his entire advance operation?
