Gingrich: Gorsuch Appointment 'May Have Justified the Whole Presidential Campaign'
[PJ] WASHINGTON ‐ Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) warned that tax reform could face the same fate as Obamacare repeal if the White House and Congress do not focus on communicating effectively with the American people before crafting the legislation.Gingrich said President Reagan learned that "you have to move the American people" to pass legislation but many Republicans today have not adopted the same approach. "Look at this whole mess with Obamacare. For seven months the focus has been on the Congress, but in the end the Congress isn’t the key. The key is the American people. If we had spent as much time educating the American people and communicating with the American people and then writing a bill, which reflected what the American people told us, we would have passed Obamacare’s repeal with a bipartisan majority because people back home would have said, ’we want this new, better bill.’ We’re going to face the same challenge with the upcoming tax cuts," Gingrich said at the Young America’s Foundation national conservative student conference Tuesday.
