Newt is the most reasonable of the lot.
Some thoughts about Newt.....

Mr. Gingrich is an experienced and proven performer. He shows great courage and steadfastness in his ideology. Did you know that Newt successfully shut down the United States government in 1996. The longest shutdown in United States history. I have no doubt that if faced with a budget battle similar to the one encountered in 2011 Newt would have stood his ground. Unlike crybabies like John Boner or tea bag wet behind the ears Eric Canter, Newt would have remained faithful to his backers. He would surely have understood that the long term consequences of continuing entitlements like Social Security would be far more damaging than the short term consequences of allowing the United States to default on it’s debts. His extensive business dealings with the medical and mortgage industries would give him the necessary insight to understand that were the budget not raised, entitlement programs would be the first to be cut. It goes without saying that this would have produced the desired economic growth. A return to 1929
