I spent part of last week calling some of Mr. Gingrich’s former colleagues, asking them whether they plan to vote for him, and whether they’d trust him with his finger on the nuclear button.
One said no, citing his “delusions of grandeur” and his tendency to be “seized by fads and fancies.” Another said yes, while acknowledging that Mr. Gingrich “knows he comes up with a lot of ideas,” and suggesting that a successful Gingrich administration would best include a secretary of state and national security adviser with the stature to say “no” to Mr. Gingrich. The risk with Mr. Gingrich, this former colleague said, would be “a big decision that might be wrong.”
