Gingrich’s Exit…. why so long???
So for those of you who don’t know Newt Gingrich, one of my least favorite characters in this political fun and games, is leaving this race for the presidential nomination on Tuesday or Wednesday. But why then? That’s what many top Republicans are wondering. A candidate who has only been able to win two states, South Carolina and Georgia, and was absolutely slaughtered in last Tuesday five state primary should have been out of this race a long time ago. Many people in the party see this as a victory lap without a victory. Why would a candidate who knows that his party is so divided is allowing his party to be divided more by not supporting the stronger candidate. He is also, by taking this long “victory lap” allowing himself to fade into irrelevance. Nobody remembers why Gingrich was even considered a contender. I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I just find it sad for the Republican party.
