to be in a plane crash? what struck me about his campaign for a guy who was speaker of the house, led republicans to one of the most victories of the 20th century, the establishment hates him. they will not let that guy be president. >> he led them to one of the greatest victories they ever had and made the brand politically poisonous like it's never been before and they remember that and we had reminders of that twice during the campaign when he was surging in the polls, both times, wasn't just romney, wasn't the romney super pac, every republican influential opinion-shaping republican who remembered the 1990s, they joined the pile-on or watched it happen and didn't speak up for gingrich. >> the weird thing about his role in the primary, he says he's there to take out mitt. he says he's like a mitt-seeking missile. and nevertheless, it helps mitt every day newt gingrich does not drop out because it splits the conservative anti-mitt romney vote.
