As a historian I understand how histories are written. My enemies will write histories that dismiss me and prove I was unimportant. My friends will write histories that glorify me and prove I was more important than I was. And two generations or three from now, some serious sober historian will write a history that sort of implies I was whoever I was.
Newt GingrichFrankly, Governor Romney in his career has created more jobs than the entire Obama cabinet combined, so he could actually talk about it.
Newt GingrichI would just say that if Governor Romney would like to give back all the money heโs earned from bankrupting companies and laying off employees over his years at Bain that I would be glad to then listen to him. Iโll bet you $10, not $10,000, that he wonโt take the offer.
Newt GingrichI think Donald Trump thinks of Putin as being a strong person, and I think he thinks of himself as being a very strong person. But I don't think in any way that he thinks of the Putin government as a desirable model.
Newt GingrichI think Donald Trump is very, very cautious about nuclear weapons, and he's seriously concerned. And this might be one of the reasons he wants to deal with Putin carefully, because he's aware of how many nuclear weapons Putin has, and that Russian doctrine is much more open about using nuclear weapons than is American doctrine.
Newt GingrichAnd in the wake of Trump's elections, there have been reports across the country of intimidation, harassment and violence against those very groups. So if Trump is serious about unifying the country, if this is a thing he wants to do, then I think he needs to immediately speak against these acts of intimidation, harassment and violence that are happening to some degree in the name of the campaign that he ran.
