If this is the best they can come up with, they may be in bigger trouble than I thought.This isn t fair. Daniel fails to mention that Newt also demonstrates his 21st century visionary bona fides via some vintage union bashing, and angles shamelessly for the angry-white-man vote by proposing we make English our official language. He also fails to note the real tragedy here: that the
