I agree

Enough of the career politicians. I'd take Donald over almost all choices

OK, but it sounds like you are defending Clinton. I am not going to defend Newt's marital affairs... but he is a smart politician who has a great plan for America. Most libs say that Clinton's sexual episodes don't matter as long as he ran the country. Well, now the shoe is on the other foot.

I'm not defending Clinton. Where ever did you get that idea? I'm saying there is a price to pay for the kind of stuff both Clinton and Newt did. Serial skirt chasers need not apply for the job of president.

So FDR, Eisenhower, and Kennedy shouldn't have been president?

...And a lot of people like what they have to say (especially about the current administration).

Which man would best lead America in this New World Order?
Neither one would make it very far. Both have waaaaaaaay too much personal baggage. I think the current flurry of media regarding both is just a way for them to stay in the public eye and polish their "brand", a-la Sarah Palin. Neither one of them is a serious candidate for anything. Political posturing is good for business.

That was a youthful indiscretion!

I agree with Wayland Woman. Yes, they don't need to be perfect, but they have to have a little class. Clinton had a world class intellect, but not a lot of respect for his marriage. The other dudes. The same. Bush and Obama have classy wives, like Hillary Clinton, and they treat them as such. I respect that.

Gingrich was worse yet was going on about family values the whole time. A complete tool. With Trump, what you see is what you get. I can deal with that, so long as he doesn't do the Caligula thing while in office.

Trump recently was on the Michael Savage radio show. The Michael Savage that was quickly kicked off his new show on the Fox News network, and is now banned from entering England. Not too bright for someone who wants to be president.

Michael Savage makes Rush Limbaugh look like Harry Reid.

Newt, 'cuz only a real politician would ask his wife to tolerate his mistress so it wouldn't hurt his political career....an offer she refused.

Most men would get shot for that.

Real politics, in action.
