Inside the Gingrich Campaign Implosion — Daily Beast Exposes the Details

A day after Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign imploded when his senior staff quit along with numerous top aides in crucial primary states, the Daily Beast has pieced together the details of how it all happened. And boy is it interesting.
Chief among the outlet‘s findings is that staffers couldn’t stand Gingrich’s “rogue” tendencies, many questioned the candidate’s commitment, and Gingrich’s wife was not a fan of the long campaign hours. With those issues brewing, the “final straw” came when Gingrich decided to take a break and go on a two-week cruise to the Mediterranean. When he returned, everything came crumbling down.
Here‘s an excerpt from the Daily Beast’s report:
The decisive moment came in a meeting at Gingrich’s Washington, D.C. office between the candidate and his top two operatives, campaign manager Rob Johnson and strategist Sam Dawson, who had hoped to convince Gingrich that his approach as a candidate—which one insider described as “appalling”—needed a drastic transformation. When Gingrich did not agree, Johnson and Dawson said they were done.
[..]
Almost from the start, Gingich’s campaign team had fretted that their candidate lacked the patience and discipline to accommodate himself to the exacting process of running a presidential campaign. The first sign of his inclination to go rogue was his May 15 appearance on the NBC broadcast, “Meet the Press,” during which he entangled himself in a controversy over the House Republican budget plan authored by Rep. Paul Ryan, which he criticized as “right-wing social engineering.” The Ryan plan has become Republican orthodoxy, and Gingrich found himself having to explain, and then apologize for, his remarks.
One Gingrich staffer, no longer with the campaign, noted today that the “Meet the Press” appearance, which came just four days after Gingrich announced his candidacy, was booked by Gingrich himself—and was hardly the ideal venue for a candidate trying to win conservative hearts.
The final straw for some in the campaign was Gingrich’s decision to suddenly absent himself from the fray earlier this month to take a luxury Greek cruise with his wife, Callista—an odyssey one Gingrich insider called, “the Greek tragedy.” Some on Gingrich’s campaign staff had strongly urged the candidate not to abandon the field for an opulent vacation.
Gingrich’s insistence on taking the cruise reflected the deep disconnect between his staff’s idea of what was required to win the nomination, and Gingrich’s own. Gingrich sometimes “seemed almost annoyed at the process,” one top staffer said.
Some of the blame for that disconnect has been laid at the feet of Callista Gingrich, who didn’t appreciate the demands that a presidential campaign places upon the candidate and his family. “It’s how much time that his wife thinks that he should spend on this,” the staffer said. “It’s not a hobby. This is a full-time, 80-hour-a-week job.”

So give Newt and Callista a break, even if you can’t support him as a presidential candidate.

I will not support ANY GOP candidate who “believes” man’s tiny carbon dioxide emissions is affecting our climate. If elected, such a president will continue the energy policies that are now bankrupting us. I will vote for such a GOP nominee ONLY if the choice is he/her versus Obama. Climate change is but one of Obama’s many nation killing policy beliefs.

Posted on June 10, 2011 at 10:44amRINO? If Rick Perry is a RINO, there is no such thing as a real Republican. Perry has been governor for almost 11 years, and sure enough he’s done some things not every conservative agreed with. To his credit, he reversed himself on some of these things (Trans-Texas Corridor) and he allowed a bill to pass reversing his executive order that mandated HPV vaccinations. Every time the conservative base objected, Perry did the right thing. He doesn’t back down to liberals. As far as the border goes, Perry is for more manpower and technology to patrol the border, he’s battling “sanctuary cities” in the special session of the legislature right now. Also in that special session, he got photo ID to vote and “loser pays” tort reform passed. This RINO bs you’re throwing at Rick Perry is just that, BS!

Besides this, many American women are spoiled by all their prosperity and their weak-willed husbands won’t be the man and lead their households for fear of displeasing their wives. When it comes to doing the right thing, real men will choose to do the right thing all the time, even if it means risking the displeasure of their wives. Real men lead. Real men are decisive.

I‘m sure a lot of it is his wife’s preferences but he also seems to be arrogant – according to Rush, who knows him very well, it seemed to him that he thought he was so great & smart, etc. and didn‘t consider any other condidate out there as good as him and therefore he didn’t have to put forth the same sacrificial efforts; he could win easily without it. My guess is also that he and some others are probably feeling some irritation/jealousy that Sarah Palin hasn’t announced and not done these things yet she is very popular. So maybe he feels why should he? Just my two cents………bye bye Newt – but thanks for the great positive stuff you’ve done for us in the past.

Posted on June 10, 2011 at 10:48amI’m not on board with Newt, but, when I listen(ed) to his comments on ‘right wing social engineering’, I understood him to be PRECEDING his actual answer with a qualifier, that social engineering is wrong, no matter who does it, left or right. Poorly worded, but, I thought that is what he was trying to say.
Put that statement into proximity with a criticism of the Ryan budget plan, and it is clear why it would be understood as it was.
Now, I have no reason to believe I am correct, that is just what I thought was going on.
Personally, I kind of like Chris Christie, Allen West, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, and Sarah Palin.
Some Pres/VP combinination of those would be great!
I don’t think Christie will run, nor will Allen West. Rick Perry will, I believe. Michele Bachmann will too. I’m not decided about Pawlenty. I don’t like RINOs like Romney. I doubt Sarah will run, but, she sure knows how to ‘not-run’ WOW!!! I am certain the left is scared to death of Sarah.
