If trump shuts up and mails it in, his rallies will suffer, and he will implode. He needs the constant feedback from sayin stupid stuff to stupid people. Without it he is frustratednd dejected.

If he keeps being trump, he will keep having bad weeks.

So what message did he get exactly? Don't shoot at republicans? It's part of who he is.......

Newt believes that is the Republican WAY,
and that it will excite more Republican "values voters,"
and move them into the Trump column.

The number for your post would be in the hundreds.

I have to doubt that a Narcissist like Trump sees anything wrong with his behavior, so even though he surely knows the value of being a phony and making empty promises, I think Newt is dreaming to expect a major personality change. I would bet even money that Trump comes completely unzipped before November.

If I were a betting woman I'd bet even money that Mr. Trump will become "unzipped" after the first debate (if he does not back out ). He is who he is ... someone who can be "baited" by a 140-character tweet and over-reacts to any criticism . He does not have the discipline to stay on "message" (sorry, Newt) . Trump does not want to put in the work to be POTUS. (I truly believe he thinks he running for dictator).

with an insincere smirk and halting diction?

He looked like a beaten dog reading out those endorsements, just secretly waiting for a chance to snap his tormentors' hand off.

If the question is being asked, then the candidate is in the deepest hole.

He's a little rough around the edges but pretty soon he'll be one of the family!

Trump is a worthless dangerous lunatic.

Trump is incapable of changing and Gingrich should know that by now.

This is just an opportunity to go on the Sunday shows and keep his brand fresh. I am sure Gingrich has a lot of videos and books to sell after the election. The republican party has become a party of grifters and con men always seeking free publicity.

Clowns in Space
Hate clowns

We all know it's still a pig.

Besides, I question whether Donald got the message. He did Ryan's endorsement using a TelePrompTer. Big Wow.

Not to mention, he was fine with the jackass trashing a hero and his family. It's only the polls that bother him, not the reason for the polls.

It's time to start poking Trump with that sharp stick again.

Where's Elizabeth Warren?

If Newt thinks for one second he can thicken tRump's skin he is fooling himself.
To his core tRump is a thin-skinned narcissist and the slightest poke from someone like Warren (a accomplished women) or Clinton (accomplished women) or Booker (accomplished person of color) will set him on a rant for days.
Newt isn't fooling anyone.

Clinton/Kaine 2016

GOTV

Hillary's campaign appears to be working with people like Warren to hit Trump at just the right times. Hit him and let him erupt as you back off. Let him think he is past that one then hit him again. Repeat over and over.

Poke him, let the whole country see him come unglued.

We'll have a landslide not seen since FDR.

of his eyelids. trump doesn't listen to anyone but trump.

and then when he was done, his face contorted into a HUUUUUUUGE smirk.
It was disgusting.
I think all presidential candidates should be psychologically screened before being allowed to run.
Before this year, I never would have said that.

At least alcoholics have a means for getting sober. You can't fix character pathology.

The man says anything that will push whatever agenda he happens to be pushing that day. This has been his MO since the 80s.

Trump won't change, and when Gingrich is inevitably invited back on teevee to give his sage insider opinion, this will be forgotten just like all of his other red-meat tossings.

trash talking legal Somali immigrants who by many accounts, are turning out to be good citizens and a net benefit to the communities where they have settled.

So no, Newt, he hasn't "gotten the messages."
