Newt was the establishment. Almost all of power players in the GOP today can't stand the guy.
Which won't prevent the large majority of them from supporting him in the GE anyway...
I don't support Mitt or Newt, but Mitt is a not as bad candidate than Gingrich.
Mitt's a horrible candidate - other than the dust up with Perry, Mitt hasn't said a single memorable thing in over 6 years of running for POTUS. He's like a dog who thinks he's going to pull one over on you if he moves slow enough, even though you are looking right at him.
Yes, and no. Relative to the current GOP field, absolutely not.
