So it’ll just be Newt and Rick Santorum with The Donald on December 27th. We know we shouldn’t be mocking Newt; but when he pairs himself up with Trump, the rhyme just writes itself.
The Marriage of Newt and Trump
By
Asher Embry
One by one the candidates fell, declining The Donald’s
call;
Romney and Perry, and Bachmann too, following Huntsman and
Paul.
And though Rick Santorum’s accepted, he hardly stands a
chance
To muscle a word in edgewise while two mammoth egos
prance.
Newt and Trump, Trump and Newt — a marriage that’s made
in heaven.
(Actually, to be precise, between them it’s almost seven.)
The two of them preening together, devoid of humility,
The obvious subject for Newt and Trump is: “Me, Me, Me.”
But add Obama to the debate and this narcissist meeting’s
complete:
For thin-skinned vainglory, O is the champ - those others can’t
even compete!

Uh Oh !
Donald Trump, The Independent Candidate.
“If the Republican, in my opinion, is not the right candidate [to defeat President Obama,” Trump declared, “I am unwilling to give up my right to run as an independent candidate.”
As The Candidates Fall Off The Trump Debate Sled, The Donald Waxes Up The Donald Campaign Sled Runners.

As a conservative, it pains me to come to the conclusion that the Republicans are going to commit political suicide and nominate the fat, troll,egomaniac Newt. I think Obamas 's second term is a lock.
Don't believe the polls that show him to have the lowest negatives ever, etc... This election is over before it has begun. Obama gets four more years to destroy the country by executive decision.
The key now is to still capture the Senate and retain the House. That looks very doable, but that depends on how bad our top nominee is.
