Gingrich Issues Warning to Republicans
Says they need a "totally new strategy"
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Friday that the upcoming showdown over the debt ceiling isn't a political winner for House Republicans, dubbing it a "dead loser."
"They've got to find, in the House, a totally new strategy," Gingrich said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "Everybody's now talking about, 'Oh, here comes the debt ceiling.' I think that's, frankly, a dead loser. Because in the end you know it's gonna happen. The whole national financial system is going to come in to Washington and on television and say: 'Oh my God, this will be a gigantic heart attack, the entire economy of the world will collapse. You guys will be held responsible.' And they'll cave."
