Gingrich: ‘Trump Will Be Nominee,’ GOP Should Cancel Future Debates

Pam Key 28 Sep 2023

Fox News contributor and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle” that former President Donald Trump will be the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.

Gingrich said, “I suspect the money is there, but the votes aren’t. I’m a big fan of Glenn Youngkin. I think he’s doing a great job as governor. I think in 2028, he could be a very impressive, maybe even frontrunner for president, but not this time. Not this year.”

He continued, “I was talking to our mutual friend, the pollster Matt Towery this afternoon, and Matt said to me, based on what he saw last night, this race is over, Donald Trump will be the nominee, they might as well quit having the various debates because they don’t work, they’re not helping anybody, and I think that’s where we are. I think Trump will be the nominee and the question now for everybody is do you want to see Joe Biden reelected or do you want to help Donald Trump? There’s no middle ground here, I don’t think.”

Gingrich added, “I think the Republican National Committee should cancel the future debates and say, ‘Look, we recognize the objective fact that Trump will be the nominee. We want to work with him.”

He concluded, “In some of these races, some of these polls, Trump is like 43 points ahead of the next person, 43 points. He’s gonna be the nominee.”

Newt should stuff it.

Newt should stuff it.

Exactly.

Newt apparently believes the Republican primary should be decided by pollsters, not by voters.  The election is decided before a single vote is cast.

Lovely.

Why are people like Newt against these debates?  What harm do they do?  I mean, the entire basis of his point is that the debates aren't accomplishing anything so...what's the harm?

Personally, I'd prefer to remind voters as much as possible that not every Republican belives Trump should be the nominee.

It's also foolish to dismiss the possibility that legal or other issues could change the dynamic of the GOP primary.

If Trump is currently President (like he was in 2020), there should be no debates and he should be the nominee.  However, since he isn't the President he is applying for the job again. 


It shouldn't be a coronation.  Trump and his MAGA minions are acting like Hillary Clinton in 2008.  You know the person that Trump promised to lock up.

Genius!

[ScottinVA]

Newt was also absolutely sure he was going to be the nominee in 2012.. until he wasn’t.

[Free Vulcan]

Sorry, but Trump can earn it like everyone else.

He has a record that is open for debate.

He has a record indeed; policy failures, failure to calm the insurrection, failure to completely build the wall, backpedaling and bullying.

[libertybele]

Newt should stuff it.

On that you and I agree on.

So, the GOP no longer wants voters to elect its Presidential nominee?

Good luck denying allegations that the GOP is now the party of autocracy.

[libertybele]

The GOP died a long time ago. IF the nominee has already been decided a year in advance, then we no longer have free and fair elections.  The last election was stolen, who knows what this 'supposed election' will hold.

Thanks for the heads up Newt.

The Swamp has spoken.

The Swamp has spoken.

Don't have Alzheimer's ...far as I know, but please indulge me.

Did Ronald Reagan have in-party debates in 1984?

And don't give us any of your 'truths' regarding the outright, stolen 2020 Election.

Gingrich is telling you shine the light of stupidity on yourselves for not recognizing Donald Trump as the true incumbent.

No, Gingrich is not telling us that.  You are.  Gingrich is a smart guy, and if that's what he meant, that's what he would have actually said.

The argument he actually made - as opposed to the argument you wish he had made - is that the debates should be stopped because polls show Trump far ahead. Not that the debates should be canceled because Trump is the incumbent.

[DCPatriot]

Is he the incumbent President?  Yes,or no?

Did I stutter?     Yes or no?

[GtHawk]

Just what we need a little stink eye of Newt telling us lowly peons that we don't need no new ideas or thoughts because....all hail the Trumpster, the polls have spoken.

[LMAO]

There is a difference between  an incumbent and a Frontrunner. The incumbent is on the Democrat side.

And no, Reagan did not have a primary challenge in 1984

Newt knows damned well the polls are reflecting that he IS the incumbent.

WTF else could it be??

You're painted into a corner...now just sit there until it dries.   

[Kamaji]

Trump will be an impoverished felon by the time the general election rolls around.  Is that really how deep down in the dregs we have to go to find a nominee?

[LMAO]

Do you know what an incumbent is? Trump is the current front runner. But he’s not the incumbent.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

Newt knows damned well the polls are reflecting that he IS the incumbent.

Says you.  Not Newt.  Newt said only that Trump has a big lead in the polls.  That it.

WTF else could it be??

Not even sure what that means.  Are you saying that only explanation for a candidate having a big lead in polls is because they're the incumbent?  Because I'm pretty sure that's not true.
