2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNewt Gingrich is the best person to represent the Republican Party.
He is arrogant, uncaring, careless, money grubbing, venal, undisciplined, unbalanced, opinionated, self-indulgent, dishonest and he's a CHEAT. Perfect choice for the Republican Party's standard bearer and poster child.

(7,170 posts)that is, complete unawareness of himself and his flaws. Just barrels right through himself.
More than being a cheat, Newtie spent millions of dollars investigating a President for doing the same thing he was doing himself. Government business came to a standstill because everyone was too busy wondering about a blue dress. So when Newt comes back and says that focusing on personal issues at the expense of important business concerning the American people, he should know himself.
