Way to start your campaign, Newt!
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) took a swipe Monday at Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich after the former House Speaker criticized hiss proposed Medicare reforms.
“With allies like that, who needs the left?” Ryan told guest host Raymond Arroyo on conservative talker Laura Ingraham’s radio show.
Gingrich on Sunday distanced himself from Ryan’s plan, which would transform the program into a voucher-based system for Americans under the age of 55.
“I don’t think right-wing social engineering is any more desirable than left-wing social engineering,” Gingrich said of Ryan’s plan on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “I don’t think imposing radical change from the right or the left is a very good way for a free society to operate.”
I’m not quite sure what Newt thinks he is doing. No one on the Left is going to come to his side and vote for him. He’s managing to tick off Conservatives/TEA Party members, and it’s only 5 days since he announced. There are only so many middle ground voters. He’s already managed to annoy the Right with his globull warming video with Pelosi.
Newt should do like Donald Trump, and just give up his presidential aspirations. Not in print quite yet, but TV is announcing The Donald is not going to run.
DrewM at Ace of Spades savages Newt, and reminds us that Newt’s support can be rather….situational.
