Gingrich Worries Trump Team Won't Be Tough Enough

January 1, 2017By Taegan Goddard

Newt Gingrich told ABC News that his greatest worry is that President-elect Donald Trump and his team will “lose their nerve” once in office.

Said Gingrich: “Look, they’re going to arrive in Washington, and for them to be successful they have to stake out positions that DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile will not like and the left will hate. I’m worried that when they realize how big the problem is, that they decide that they’re just going to do the best they can and give in.”

He added: “You’re going to have the government employees going crazy about civil service reform. You’re going to have the teachers union going crazy over school choice. And these are pretty nonnegotiable. I mean, if you’re serious about school choice, there is no agreement with the teachers union.”

They have invented a whole new concept of the word. They won't stop unless we stop them.

chance to prevent that was on election day.

Your/our chance to prevent that was November 1, October 19 and so on when we had to aggressively and in a positive supporting manner talk to anyone who would listen to us why Hillary Clinton was one of the most if not the most qualified persons to ever run for the office.

Nose holding comments should have been nowhere to be found, if you/we wanted to avoid this coming nightmare.

Newt Gingrich has deep feelings about working people, and they are not positive.

"Nazi" tough, break a few heads, shoot a few dissidents, imprison a few collaborators, hang some traitors, "lock her up", smash the equipment of a few Newspapers, threaten reporters with being disappeared, deport non white citizens, make Fox News the Official News Agency, and demand that anyone who is in the Democratic Party, to remove themselves in favor of a one party system. (You are either a Rich Republican or you don't qualify to vote.)
