Former President Bill Clinton, in an interview with Esquire magazine, said neither Newt Gingrich nor Mitt Romney can say what they truly believe and still get the Republican nomination.
From the interview:
With someone like Newt Gingrich, it’s a different kettle of fish. Because as a private citizen he was for certain important health-care reforms and believed in climate change and believed there had to be a strong reaction to it. And now he’s just like Romney. Neither one of them can say what they believe to be true and get nominated. Romney’s still trying to figure out what he did as governor of Massachusetts and still appeal to this driving vituperative energy.
