Newt Rubs Salt In Dems' Wounds, Reminds Them Hillary Won't Be Giving State Of The Union This Year
2018-01-30
[Daily Caller] Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich doubled down on his faith in President Donald Trump and mocked Hillary Clinton for appearing in a comedy sketch at the Grammy Awards.
"[Trump’s] not going to give up putting America first. He’s not going to give up fighting for small business, fighting for deregulation, fighting for lower taxes. But I think he has learned over the last year," Gingrich said Monday on "Fox & Friends." "He’s had a year now to be president. He’s clearly learned a lot of lessons. There’s no reason for him to know coming into office, the differences between a billionaire in business and being the president of the United States."

"I always said he is a very smart guy," Gingrich said. "He didn’t get to be that wealthy by being stupid. He didn’t beat 16 Republicans in the primaries by being stupid."

Gingrich believes that Trump winning the presidency has made Clinton politically irrelevant, and said his success continues to drive Democrats crazy.

"Just think about this weekend, Hillary Clinton on TV sadly reading out of a weird book, while Donald Trump is preparing a state of the union. That’s not a world anybody on the left thought was possible. And so I think he can afford to be generous and say, let’s find a way to work together," Gingrich said.

#5  Worse yet, while some pundits are predicting the republicans are in trouble for the mid terms,

The same 'pundits' who got Brexit and Trump terribly wrong? Good.

#2  It appears some members of the California congressional delegation will be bringing illegals to the SOTU, some demonstrations are planned, some are wearing black to honor BLM and Steyer (who the dems don't realize is supporting them to get his environmental agenda passed and make Billions for himself with some of his business ventures) is going to run adds during the address calling for Trump's resignation to include some Goldwateresque allusions to Trump being too reckless to be allowed to have control over our nuclear arsenal (they never have anything new in their playbook).

Seems the dems are well on their way to recreating the 1964 convention in Chicago where their own out of control antics resulted in a Republican landslide. Worse yet, while some pundits are predicting the republicans are in trouble for the mid terms, the continuing economic good news and the continuing saga of the leftist Zero's totalitarian executive branch are going to tilt the playing field.

#1  *snicker* Sometimes mockery is necessary, and poor Mrs. Clinton, perennial presidential bridesmaid, needs this kind of help to accept the unchangeable reality that she will never be a bride.
