Basically ^^^....
While I don't think Trump can win it all, it's important to take in the specifics of Newt/Trump....Newt was running during a time when the establishment Conservatives STILL had power....They never feared Newt getting the nod because they knew the party would come to their senses....
2015 is A LOT different. Basically, the uber Right Wing Republican base is pissed off after being used and abused during Obeezy's presidential run....They got sick of Republican law makers not going through with their threats of impeaching Obama; of tearing down Obamacare; of truly defeating the "threat" of gay marriage...
Trump taps into that shit....Plus it helps that the rest of the Republican field that could actually win (Rubio, Kasich, Bush) are viewed as establishment candidates....
So yeah...That Newt/Trump comparison is hella flawed...
