This video focuses on the idea of Newt Gingrich running a campaign and the idea that polls do not reflect proportionately and accurately the outcome of the election itself. In the beginning of the clip the idea that Newt was ahead in the poll and yet he came in fourth both times. This demonstrates the differences in winning a poll and in fact winning the election. Polls can be misleading and this is just a satirical example of the misleading information they can yield. The video then goes into Newt’s comment against African Americans and portrays it as a racist comment from a republican. Newt defends his comment but the generalization is clear that Newt believes that they are the majority receiving food stamps instead of getting pay checks.
