What can Newt possibly be thinking?

[yellowcanine]

He has completely lost perspective because of pique at Romney for the negative ads in Iowa. He talks publicly about forming a stop Romney alliance with Santorum without even discussing it with Santorum first. - Why would one talk publicly about such an alliance assuming Santorum agrees, let alone without buy in from Santorum? Win or lose against Obama, if Romney gets the Republican nomination, Newt is finished in the Republican Party. Maybe that is his plan? Form a new party with teabaggers?

1. Hopefully, he will single-handedly destroy the Republican selection process.

[Motown_Johnny]

2. He is seeing red and doesn't care what damage he does.

I don't think he ever expected to win until he had that unexpected turn at Flavor Of The Month. Now he is ready to go back to making tons of money off his good name, but Romney trashing his good name is going to cut into the profits.

He is just going to try and take Romney down with him so that he will be a hero to every conservative that doesn't want Romney to be the nominee, then he can cash in on them.


Newt is a joke and he doesn't like that everyone knows it.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. not just any red, but a blood thirsty, out of control, vile and brilliant red.

Hell hath no fury like a Newton scorned.

[gateley]

3. That he'd better return Calista's new pair of Elsa Peretti earrings to Tiffany? nt

[onenote]

4. He is thinking what he always thinks: Its all about Newt

[MADem]

5. He is blinded by rage, and ain't that grand!

I can't wait to see the pissing contest in the debates. It's going to be ... WONDERFUL!

Romney's "clear path to the nomination" is getting more cluttered by the moment. You know it's bad when he had to call in John "Get off my goddamned lawn" McCain to help smooth his path in his "other home state," NH.

Newt got in this shit to sell books--then, he fell in love again with the sound of his own voice, and started to believe his own bullshit!

[arbusto_baboso]

6. Especially since it has always been clear that Santorum isn't running to win the nomination.

Ricky is really running for the VP slot.

Which he'll never get.

Not even if Newt gets the nod.

[immoderate]

7. I wish there were a spare country to give to Newt...

So we could see what wacky ideas he might implement, and how real people would react to them.

It would be like going to Toon Town with Roger Rabbit.

8. Willard's Occult Surrogate Attack & Slime Team (R) did a number on Teh Newt (R)

Beware. Willard & Occult Surrogates got a Colgate Corporate Smile only to obscure their dark, vicious Attack & Assasinate Tactics.

Teh Newtie was just the first VICtim.

There will be more poo flung from the Republicon Surrogate Occultist Assassin Squads.

And oodles more candidate blood on the crappy shag carpet occulting the True Republicon "Family" Values.

[sufrommich]

9. His ego gets the better of him, it's

the story of his life. He's a classic narcissist.

[AlinPA]

10. If Romney wins the primary, Newt will be on Fox 'news' praising Romney so he can be in his cabinet.

[Liberal_in_LA]

11. that surge in the polls he experienced a few months ago went to his big fat head.

he was talking "my administration" just a few months ago. lol.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

12. That rage led to his shutting down the government because Big Mean Bill Clinton wouldn't let

his fat ass on Air Force One.

The result? Major Republican losses in the midterm elections!

If his rage leads him to one again destroy the Republican party's chances, then I'm all for it!

[hifiguy]

21. Yop. Newty has the self-control of

a spoiled, bratty three-year-old. When anyone crosses him he pitches a fit, oblivious to all consequences. I hope he burns down the whole Repuke nomination process.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

13. There's an element of revenge combined with the fact that it presents Newt an avenue to maintain

relevance and the national stage. He's a lousy candidate, but he is an expert at lobbing grenades and lead insurgencies. Newt has nothing to lose and everything to gain by "going rogue". He's in his element.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. I say let him wage his "scorched earth" campaign against Romney

Romney may still wind up the nominee but he'll be nice and tenderized for the GE.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

16. absolutely. If there is anyone who can do "rage" tis the newt.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Newt is a vengeful bastard.

He wants to take down Mittens at any cost because Mittens said nasty things about him (which were largely true). Remember how he shut down the government when he thought Clinton had dissed him because he had to use the back door of AF1? Newt doesn't care what the end result is as long as he gets the satisfaction of taking a big hunk of flesh out of Mittens.

Mitt might find a horse's head in his bed someday. Newt's that kind of guy.

[DefenseLawyer]

17. He's thinking about selling books and getting speaking fees

Just like Herman Cain. There is no such thing as bad publicity.

[sarge43]

18. There's only one thing to be said

"Somebody making popcorn?"

[A-Schwarzenegger]

19. See: HUBRIS!

[rurallib]

20. Newt and thinking - two words that seldom go together.
