NEWT:

How do you take seriously a guy who just this week explained that he's running for the U.S. Senate? Who could not quite remember Mitt Romney's name and referred him as “that Mormon guy.” Deep in his heart, who knows what Joe Biden believes? Who knows if Joe Biden remembers what Joe Biden believes? The most amazing thing to me is the American people are seriously considering putting in as Commander in Chief somebody who clearly is less and less in touch with reality. A few weeks ago when he was running to get the liberal nomination, of course he's going to ban fracking. Now that he has the nomination and he's trying to run for centrist voters, he never meant to ban fracking and just because he said he was going to ban fracking, doesn't mean that you should think he was going to ban fracking. Of course, the problem is we live in the age of video tape where we have both he and Harris taking very radical positions that are on tape. It’s a little hard for them to walk away from. My guess is in the end, people are going to see that this is exactly what gives politics a bad name. They’ll see this guy is just lying.

I think this is the most dangerous election since 1864 when Lincoln's opponent would have allowed the south to secede and destroy the Union. I think that if they get control, they will do everything they can to turn the entire country to California. To make it a one-party system, a system of massive corruption, a system of extraordinarily radical ideas. If you look at what's happening in San Francisco where the vice-presidential nominee Harris is from, and where Pelosi is from, you look at what's happening whether it's the wildfires, running out of electricity because they won’t invest in the system, brand-new efforts to control your life. Between the increasingly Cuomo position in New York, that led them to shut the gates of a Jewish cemetery, the kind of behavior that you don't associate with America at all. You have Cuomo in New York, and you have what’s happening in California, that is the future that they would control with the country.

That’s the thing that’s amazing, it’s like watching Lucy with the football in the Charlie Brown series. The very same pollsters who were off massively, -- I read a great article this morning: “If you had believed the polls in 2018, we’d have a Democratic Governor of Ohio, a Democratic Governor of Iowa,” they went on the list and they said “The fact is the polls in '18 in the Midwest were as bad as the polls in '16.” I think -- my guess is that Trump wins. About 70-30 that he wins.
