Gingrich Says Trump's No Longer Interested In 'Drain The Swamp'

Newt Gingrich said Wednesday that Donald Trumps drain the swamp catch phrase was cute but that the President-elect now disclaims it.
During an interview with NPRs Morning Edition Wednesday, host Rachel Martin asked if the former House speaker had been working in the swamp, to use Donald Trumps language.
Im told he now just disclaims that. He now says it was cute, but he doesn't want to use it anymore, Gingrich said, referring to the phrase. I'd written what I thought was a very cute tweet about the alligators are complaining, and somebody wrote back and said they were tired of hearing this stuff.
Later, Gingrich added: I personally, as a sense of humor, like the alligator and swamp language, and I think it vividly illustrates the problem, because all the people in this city who are the alligators are going to hate the swamp being drained. And there's going to be constant fighting over it. But, you know, he is my leader and if he decides to drop the swamp and the alligator I will drop the swamp and the alligator.

i believe there is evidence that harsh parenting, beatings and such, leads to these broken people. if i had a magic wand, i would end domestic violence, as i think it is at the root of what is wrong w the world.
violence, like charity, begins at home.

Any recipe would have to include bacon and butter. Lots of both.
