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

[sneakypete]

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.

@Maj. Bill Martin

Which has RINO's all over the country getting "wood".

BTW,for the record,I  do NOT consider you one of them.

[DCPatriot]

Damn, someone's sensitive.

I personally haven't once complained about Trump not participating in the debates.  All I'm asking for is the opportunity to hear the other candidates who are running, and to actually vote for our preferred nominee rather than have one anointed by pollsters. 

For some reason I can't really fathom, that seems to bother you.

   Sorry if I lumped you with the ankle biters who are focused on Pres. Trump ducking the debates. 

But that still doesn't make you any less nutz than the rest of them.

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.

@DCPatriot

But...,but...,but...,he is not only RICH AND RUDE,he is also ORANGE!


Whut weeze neads bees sumbodie what bees pour n homliss,in ordur ta speek fo de peep-pulls!

Powur to da peep-pulls!

[sneakypete]

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.

@Maj. Bill Martin

ANYBODY that follows the advise of some professional politician that thinks  Newt is stupid  is a clueless fool.

[sneakypete]

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.

@GtHawk

Well,it WOULD be nice if you had an occasional thought,other than wondering why your knee keeps jerking and hitting you under the chin.

[corbe]

   When you realize you've hooked your star to a flawed candidate that lost us another US another 4 years, which I believe we'll never recover from, will you repent @sneakypete ?  Probably NOT.
   Nothing has changed from 2020 it's mathematically impossible for Trump to win all 6 swing states.

[LMAO]

I've never heard the argument for other candidates to drop out of a race before any votes have been cast just because of polling

Based on that argument, BHO should have dropped out in 2007 for the "inevitable" Hillary Clinton or Trump should have given up his presidential run in 2016 as polls had Clinton beating Trump in a general election.

@corbe

Other than Reagan,name a Presidential candidate that WASN'T "flawed" in the eyes of some people.

Yes,Trump IS "flawed".

So is everyone else running.

BUT.......,Trump is the ONLY candidate that cares more for what the history books will write about his Presidency than anything else you would care to mention.

EVERYBODY else is looking for fame and fortune,and Trump has pretty much had both for his entire life. The ONLY thing he cares about at this point is how his Presidency will get written about in the history books.

PLUS,he has the added benefit of never being able to run for President again,so he won't be scheming and plotting on how to get re-elected the same day he gets sworn in.

@sneakypete you have said that multiple times.  Question is how exactly do you know; other than it is probably taken from Trump talking points page 101.  Seriously, how much of that orange Kool-Aid are you going to continue to drink??

Gee, I don't know, DeSantis has stated that he'll be ready to take office on day one which doesn't sound like any kind of scheming.  He was ready to be governor on day one and has done an exceptional job, so I have no reason to doubt him.

Trump wasn't ready on his first day last time, what makes you think he has his ducks in a row this time around???

Give it a rest. You are "in the bag" for any  surrender monkey that runs.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Geez...look around, @the OlLine Rebel    There's no REAL reason to abandon/challenge him when scanning the contenders.

The media complex has generated all this dislike/hatred for the man.

If the man wins the presidency you Twelve Angry Men on the forum should fall down on your knees and pray the rosary.

Reagan was loved by conservatives and begrudgingly liked and respected by liberals.  Only the most insane could make disparaging comments about him.  He really was legitimate Teflon.

Trump isn’t anywhere close to that.  Just that he has developed a cult as no Republican ever has.  He generates his own hatred.  Easy target because he makes targets out of everyone and is just hateful.  And yes, it matters.

That said, I will vote for Trump in the general.  No way I am just staying home and letting an official Dem win.

[Kamaji]

There is no arguing with members of a cult.  And the Trump cult is particularly pernicious.

Nah, I'll be fine.  No real point in getting upset about it.  In fact, if Trump does become the nominee, I won't be paying much attention to it all anyway because I won't care who wins.

NOT as pernicious as the "anybody BUT Trump cult.

Even IF all you wrote was true,and it isn't,he is STILL a better candidate than any surrender monkey you support.

No, nor did Trump in 2020.

Noot is a Beltway Swamp rat telling us to throw in the towel and get behind the Swamp candidate.  It has nothing to do with your fake incumbent.  By your 'logic' [sic], Trump should have yielded to the 'incumbent' Mitt Romney in 2016.

[DCPatriot]

No, nor did Trump in 2000.

If Romney would have had a 45 point lead in every Party poll... you'd be talking apples/apples.   

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Maybe it's just time to abandon the GOP? Its overrated anyway.
