performs well. i mean, i think it s exciting for the republican party to not just have a slam dunk. i think, you know, a lot of people want to go back to the days where it was actually brokered at the convention, you know, imagine that. it would make it all exciting and maybe the people would feel more a part of the process. ron paul will be a power broker regardless because they want his loyal voters and the people that support him. meanwhile, speaking of more debates, there will not be that news max debate two days after christmas, donald trump announced yesterday he will not be the moderator of it. they only had newt and rick santorum. trump said he s not willing to give up his right to run as an independent if the republicans don t nominate the right guy. here s donald. because of the fact that the republicans are upset and because of the fact that i refuse to give up the possibility of running as an independent candidate, i ve decided to cancel the debate. i don t want to wa
right now and we ll see how people like the view. people are getting a better view of newt gingrich and charles krautham he were was on the o reilly program last night talking about why the g.o.p. insiders don t support newt. there are two reasons why i think they re against him or at least a large number of them. number one, they re worried that he s too erratic or unreliable. in a way, he s sort of a victim of his own creative intelligence. second, i think they re worried about if he can be elected and a lot of them are worried if he would be on the ticket, he would do so badly that he would hurt the house and the senate. this goes back to the polls that we just showed you earlier. i think the people who are in favor of newt gingrich are against the republican establishment. those that s why you re seeing this surge. and it s almost when a member of congress comes out and does not
so they re good for my family, and for yours. heart smart idaho potatoes. always look for the grown in idaho seal. good morning, everyone. today is wednesday, december 14th. i m gretchen carlson. thanks so much for sharing your time with us today. they are the frontrunners in the race for the white house but can they really win? new polls on mitt romney and newt gingrich revealing exactly what s stopping them. it s two different things. very fascinating. really. donald trump fires himself from moderating the debate and he does it in the third person. i ve decided to cancel the debate. i don t want to waste a lot of newt s time or rick santorum s time or donald trump s time. so i won t give up the possibility of come around june running as an independent candidate. right. that s not the only reason why.
newt s time or rick santorum s time or donald trump s time so i won t give up the possibility of come around june running as an independent candidate. i just don t think it s fair to myself, to the country, to all of the millions of people who are following what i say because they re tired of having this country being ripped off. i don t see him running as an independent. he s made it clear in this program he doesn t want to see barack obama get a second term. if he was to run as an independent, that would split the vote. if ron paul has the nomination, he would. he had to say that, that was one of the main reasons why the candidates decided they would want take part in his debate. conflict of interest. maybe if he was going to be running for president, he shouldn t be moderator. i would think that s a bad excuse. for michelle bachmann who has a bunch of challenges if she wants to get the nomination. having debate with donald trump as part of an independent
why does abc want them to win? because abc is democrat and the democrats are laboring under the point of view that gingrich would be easier to beat than romney. now, they say that because it s true that romney is a better candidate for the swing voters. but a lot of the republicans believe that gingrich will summon a passion and a strength that romney won t. and that therefore turnout will be higher. but democrats tend to believe with the republicans in the swing voter area. the thing is, too. i think republicans look at newt gingrich and see how well he debates and say that s the guy that really that s what i mean by passion. look at iowa, i couldn t believe this poll. you have newt gingrich in front by one point. but look at the emergence of ron paul at 21 and romney at 16. who looks worse, romney or newt in this? well, newt because romney doesn t need iowa. newt does. let me say this. i absolutely guarantee that if ron paul is the republican
