Direct quote from the article:

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich cast the general election as a contest between two insupportable candidates Wednesday, telling the Washington Post that Trump is giving Hillary Clinton a leg up by "proving he is more unacceptable than she is." The Post reports:

That's just sour grapes from Newt.

Wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a bit of those in the mix - Newt is damned smart and a wonderful historian and commentator, but he does have a streak of vanity several miles wide.  :shrug:

Title of this article is very mis-leading to say the least.

"The current race is which of these two is the more unacceptable, because right now neither of them is acceptable," Gingrich said in a Wednesday morning telephone interview. "Trump is helping her to win by proving he is more unacceptable than she is."



Would vote to change the title to reflect the quote, making a note of the actual misnamed title in the text.

The title as written is correct....in a sense that the negative word is typed in quotes....'unacceptable'.

That connotes as a qualifier...and admission that it's not true at all.

So new title should be "Newt says 'Trump more unacceptable than Clinton'"  Right?

Nope.

It should be:  Newt wonders who's more unacceptable at this point!

This is the title of the article and it stays.....

Just my opinion as I don't think it reflects Newt's true feelings......

...and btw I stand corrected..lol....but I still believe all these sensational articles about Trump at media driven and exaggerated.

actual title, actual quote

why would we be expected to know the "true feelings"? Are we going to post articles about
"What he meant was..." ?

Just a tad late, isn't it, Newt??

Rats jumping off a sinking ship.........

Right.. a bit late.

But swim over to the CruzLiner... maybe you get steerage passage to 2020. When conservatives hopefully see with clear vision.

Well yeah, trumps free media ride is over. Now the democrat/progressive media starts all the attack/mocking.

Some of us warned about this....but NOOO, anyways. I have no dog in this hunt.

Should be fun watching the thin skinned one "handle" his new found media .Ahem admiration. Lets see how he does.
