The "extreme part" of the GOP did a big backstep on this. The polls for him started dropping immediately after that statement. Newt can't help but sabotage himself. I've no doubt he'll be done long before we get to Tampa.
Agreed. Throughout the years, he seems to have this inability to reflect until, the moment has already blown up...and this was well before the *Instant News* we have today.
I'll give him one thing though, he definitely has the, "go big or go home" mentality.
