say it would be a good thing to 

murder Hillary Clinton

Gingrich: there are some nutty

Clinton supporters too!

the election being rigged

Gingrich: I'm not talking about

corruption at the local level

Raddatz: you literally just 

said that 30 seconds ago

his accusers that she would not be

his first choice to rape

spite of the media going after his groping

Raddatz: so how does he win?
