Newt Gingrich Slams
Anti-Donald Trump Republicans, by Alice Greene. 3/21/16
We aren’t in the habit of
quoting pundits, but former Speaker of the House New Gingrich has a profound
point to make when it comes to anti-Donald Trump Republicans: they are
supporting Hillary Clinton.
“I think it’s pretty
simple,” said Gingrich to dissatisfied GOP party members seeking to find a way
to remove Republican frontrunner Donald Trump from the race. “If you want
to help elect Hillary Clinton, and you want to make sure that the unionized
bureaucracies are in total control, and you want to have a radical Supreme
Court to finish eliminating our liberties, then play games like this. But
that’s what they are: they’re games.”
Gingrich told Breitbart’s
Stephen K. Bannon that Americans have two choices: ongoing decay and
radicalization (Hillary Clinton) or a fresh alternative (Trump or Ted
Cruz). “But there’s not a third choice,” warned Gingrich. “These
people…who are telling us about this fancy third choice, they make no sense at
all.” At least be honest and say you prefer Hillary to Trump, he says.
“They ought to just form
‘Lost Republicans for Hillary’ and be honest about the effect of what they’re
doing.”
The situation could get
even worse if Hillary gets indicted for mishandling government secrets through
the use of her secret email server. We could wind up with President Bernie
Sanders and empowered radical judges and union bosses.
“So the choice for
America’s future is very straightforward, and I’ve just tried to be clear about
that,” Gingrich reiterated.
As to anti-Trump Beltway
Right, Gingrich accuses the faction of not having any real qualms with the
billionaire candidate. “They don't have an ideological argument. They have a
comfort zone argument.” Maybe
it’s time to take America out of her comfort zone.
Those who are comfortable
with traditional conservative candidates like Ted Cruz are wary and suspicious
of the boisterous and aggressive Trump. He isn’t traditional, says Gingrich. He
is an “unusual phenomenon of this extraordinarily
successful businessman who has thoroughly mastered popular communication.”
After realizing that he had
everything he could possibly want, Trump woke up one day and thought, ‘maybe I
can turn the country around.’
“Does he have
contradictions in his past? Of course he does,” says Gingrich. “Trump would be
an absolute outlier in the trajectory of American politics [if he didn’t].”
