Newt Gingrich Declares To ABC’s Jake Tapper: ‘I’m Going To Be The Nominee’

video
» 128 comments

Republican frontrunner Newt Gingrich audaciously declared in an interview with ABC News’s Jake Tapper that he would end up winning the Republican nomination. “I’m going to be the nominee. It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee,” Gingrich affirmed. “And by the way, I don’t object if people want to attack me, that’s their right. All I’m suggesting that it’s not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking. So they should do what they and their consultants want to do. I will focus on being substantive and I will focus on Barack Obama.”

Tapper had asked the former Speaker of the House if he was staying too positive to be a formidable candidate against President Obama. “How do you respond to Republicans who say if you don’t draw distinctions with Mitt Romney and others who are attacking you, if you don’t point out their perceived vulnerabilities, Barack Obama and the Democrats sure aren’t going to share that same reluctance and you are doing Obama a favor by staying positive?” ”They are not going to be the nominee,” responded Gingrich. “I don’t have to go around and point out the inconsistencies of people who are not going to be the nominee. They are not going to be the nominee.”

Gingrich’s claim that the odds are very high he is going to be the nominee checks out. Here are his current InTrade betting odds versus Romney:

    Newt is probably right, he will probably be the candidate.  Here’s why:

    Republicans always believe precisely the opposite of the truth.  They’ve been systematically trained to reject all reality.

    Two of the biggest Republican “issues” over the last few years have been their opposition to Obama’s “socialist” health insurance mandate and and an opposition to the Democrats’ supposed support for the likes of Freddie Mac (when they were in the minority and had not power to do anything).   Newt Gingrich was a champion of the “socialist” health insurance mandate when Republicans were in power, and he’s probably the most successful Freddie Mac lobbyist ever.

    But remember the rule:  Republicans always believe PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE of the truth.  So even though Newt Gingrich is precisely what Republicans say they despise the most, they will end up supporting him.

    Poor Newt-he just can’t keep from sticking his tiny little feet in his big fat mouth. Newt is praying that Mitt Romney does him the courtesy of not attacking him over the course of the December debates-a forlorn hope as Romney will be even more relentless  and nevermind Ron Paul’s devastating campaign ads against him running in Iowa as we speak. Charles Krauthammer recognizes what a disaster this is for the GOP.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/mitt-vs-newt/2011/12/01/gIQAtSfOIO_story.html

    “Gingrich has his own vulnerabilities. The first is often overlooked
    because it is characterological rather than ideological: his own
    unreliability. Gingrich has a self-regard so immense that it rivals
    Obama’s — but, unlike Obama’s, is untamed by self-discipline.”

    Oh, on the bikini graph-

    “If one attributes the first 19 days of January 2009′s job losses to Bush, and the remaining 11 days of job losses to Obama, the private sector shed 346,000 jobs during the Bush administration (the private sector gained a net 141,000 jobs if one attributes all of January 2009′s job numbers to Obama, and all of January 2001′s numbers to Bush).

    In contrast, under President Obama’s administration, the private sector has still lost a net 1.44 million private sector jobs (1.77 million if one attributes the remaining 11 days of job losses in January 2009 to Obama, and 2.29 million if one attributes all of January 2009′s losses to him).

    You’re not getting this. Gingrich was a champion of “Obamacare” up until the moment a black guy was elected president. And Republicans, not Democrats, were in charge of the government for the entirety of the Freddie Mac bubble, and it was Gingrich’s job to assure that Republicans (the people in charge) never touched Freddie Mac, assuring its failure.

    You already forgot the rule: All Republicans are systematically trained to believe precisely the opposite of the truth. Try to remember.

    false- the committees under the House and senate were chaired by dems who fought against privatization  of the GSE’s while receiving contributions from the GSEs- Barney frank told those who were trying to reign in Fannie Mae that there concerns were over blown.

    And it was under Clinton that the housing debacle started:

    From the NYTs:

    Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending
    By STEVEN A. HOLMESPublished: September 30, 1999

    In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets — including the New York metropolitan region — will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.Fannie Mae, the nation’s biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.In addition, banks, thrift institutions and mortgage companies have been pressing Fannie Mae to help them make more loans to so-called subprime borrowers. These borrowers whose incomes, credit ratings and savings are not good enough to qualify for conventional loans, can only get loans from finance companies that charge much higher interest rates — anywhere from three to four percentage points higher than conventional loans.”Case closed!

    Think about what you just said. You said that because a powerless guy said something (because Barney Frank said something), Republicans (the people in charge) failed to protect the country from the real estate bubble and the banking corruption. Don’t you see how well you prove my point? You believe precisely the opposite of the truth.

    As for the housing bubble, housing prices steadily went up under the great economy that came with Clinton; that’s just the way it works. But prices skyrocketed under Bush’s failing economy. That’s the bubble. That’s how you spot a bubble. The prices were WAY out of alignment with the prevailing economy.

    Barney Frank in 2003:

    In 2003, while the ranking minority member on the Financial Services Committee, Frank opposed a Bush administration proposal, in response to accounting scandals, for transferring oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from Congress and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to a new agency that would be created within the Treasury Department. The proposal, supported by the head of Fannie Mae, reflected the administration’s belief that Congress “neither has the tools, nor the stature” for adequate oversight. Frank stated, “These two entities …are not facing any kind of financial crisis .

    James, in fairness to your readers, you should go check out how In Trade actually works. It’s a market, so the idea isn’t to win or lose on the FINAL bet, it’s to hedge against the final result so you come out ahead in the end. And not everyone can get onto In Trade, there are specific deposit rules and you have to be active and alert so you don’t miss quick opportunities – the players that lose their shirts are the ones who just lay a bet and then walk away; you have to STAY ON TOP OF IT, every freaking day, to make this market work for you.

    So, until you do that James, I would advise staying away from the idea of the In Trade market holding any truths or eternal verities about the chances of the various contestants.

  • Rex derWunderGott

    Speaking of hedges, I’m thinking Newt is playing one right here: I don’t think he ever wanted to win this contest, not in the ‘normal’ sense, he just wanted to maximize his business opportunities from running. So this act of extreme hubris in this clip is perfect for allowing Newt the beginnings of an opening to get the hell out. IDEALLY what Newt wants to do is buy enormous influence, or more importantly, the APPEARANCE of enormous importance with the next president, being Romney, or rather not Romney because the best Not Romney there is is Obama, but Romney ‘if Mittens were to win’.

    Because Newt knows full well he can’t win this; he can only wind FOR Newt, which is a different contest.

    $2 Trillion to WALL STREET’s 6 Banks – while pretending to despise them.

    Dodd-Frank -stifles small banks, to make it easy to gain Central Control over America’s credit markets.

    Stimulus -Dem Slush fund to pay off supporters and buy votes; millions of jobs LOST since -lol -  “Stimulus”~!

    Czars – Remember Van Jones, who Beck dislodged from power?

    Class Warfare – while giving $2 Trillion to the same 1% he feigns railing against.

    Race-Baiting – ask a black or spanish conservative, or an Az. cop!

    Illegal Entry – from suing states to protecting sanctuary cities.

    OWS Riots – 1500 arrests in 3 days; Tea Party – under 50 arrests in 3 years!

    GREECE – Obama’s dream result.

    Divdie the Country – Dems have been playing the RACE CARD for 50 years; black Democratic separatists use contrivances like the ”African American” monicker, and the “not Christmas”  Kwanza to alienate from traditional Americans of ALL colors.

    Environmental (political) Science – Any more Phony UN e-mails surface? lmao!

    Energy DEPENDENCE on foreign oil FOREVER – due to environmentalist hysteria, and their OWNERSHIP of the Democratic Party.

    2012 — BRING IT ON!

    Really, are you that dumb?  The credit downgrade by S&P was solely due to Congress’ inability to move on the issue of raising the debt ceiling. This was explained by S&P as the reason.

    Remember that study that came out that said Fox Viewers are less informed than someone who doesn’t watch the news?  

    Well, you just proved that study to be true.

    Good…we ran against Dole/Gingrich/Shitty Congress in 96, and we will soundly beat him in 2012.  No democrat or fair minded indy will vote for this charlatan.

    Gingrich is predicting winning! – Gingrich is predicting winning! – There he goes again! Lying to the voters. Not only is he a lying lobbyist, he’s also a career politician! He’s also a womanizer. Add to this Gingrich is a TEA-GOP-Republican members who has sold his soul, vote and allegiance to people like Grover Norquist, Bob Vander Plaats, Edward H Crane and David Keene, and other puppeteers, rather than honor their commitment to the constituents. Newton Gingrich, the former ten-term congressman from an Atlanta-area district was Speaker of the House and resigned in disgrace. He resigned in disgrace because he was “Womanizing”! Newton’s conservative stance will not stand as his “Contract for America” didn’t stand, Compassionate Conservatism never was, and trickle down didn’t trickle down! Bad caliber of candidate for the office of the presidency!

    He’s not a conservative.  Nor are any of the other GOP candidates, with the possible exception of Jon Huntsman.  The only real conservatives left in Washington are Democrats.

    Okay…so you only agree with Krauthammer when he’s not bashing Obama and you’re incapable of using Google and comprehending article titles.

    Other than that I agree with you, Krauthammer is a very smart man.

    Pretty ridiculous, SSPECH.

    Yes, there was a credit downgrade. Caused by the TP/GOP who want/need Obama to fail otherwise they will lose many seats in the next house. The “Limpballls” vision of I hope Obama fails…thing is if he fails the US fails, wish they’d get politics out of running the country.

    TP/GOP are idiots first and Americans last at the bottom of a long list of other things. That is what is truly sad about this Congress.
    They don’t want Americans to work. They’d rather give the rich tax cuts, that don’t create jobs. Otherwise there would have been a extreme number of jobs created under Bush. There weren’t…unless you want to count…the Navy, Air Force, & Marines.
