Having recently listened to gingrich at length I've really come to respect and admire him. He is nothing like the man he was portrayed to be by the media.

Great conversation with two highly intelligent people. This is the dialog we need between the two parties to reach common ground...not the mindless non sense that is going on now.

[@cosmosisfx8877]

I love this man...Gingrich is the BEST!

Nice discussion. Newt has his moments of visionary clarity.

[@joylambert3118]

I find Newt to be a very great speaker of the house. We need people to care for we the people. It’s a political year. Really last three years. . We need younger people to be educated in policy. We need change. In the Congress. The things that really matter we need to focus on. The Truths shall set us free.

[@markma7327]

very fun to watch!

[@qncsc]

eery how these name and topics could be today as if the last several years did not happen.

[@TheNefariousMaster]

Not sure he would have won, but he definitely would have attacked Obama a lot more than Romney and didn't change his position all the time to appeal to the moderates (even though that is necessary in many cases). I really wish he was Romney's running mate instead of Paul Ryan.

[@bobbeckle9453]

David Axelrod tries repeatedly to trap Newt Gingrich and repeatedly fails. We see the difference between a political hack and someone with a real philosophy.

[@downeybill]

I honestly think this guy would have won in 2012 if he had got the nomination -imagine the debates!

[@sugarlanskee8]

Taking your word for it as we praise the gods of technology for the Mute Button. Little sense there is in listening to the words of the gentleman because we can predict with precision what they will be: safe, routine, the usual jive signifying more shuck. All in that uniquely abrasive voice, which is truly the only lethal weapon in the gentleman's arsenal.

I fundamentally disagree with Gingrich but his mind is one of the best in our age.
