Newt Gingrich is still convinced in his ability to win the delegate-heavy primary state of Florida Tuesday, saying on Monday morning that Mitt Romney will never win the nomination due to his foundation of "Romneycare."
"In the long run, the Republican party is not going to nominate the founder of 'Romneycare,' a liberal Republican who's pro-abortion, pro gun-control, pro-tax increases," the former House Speaker told ABC "Good Morning America" host George Stephanopoulos.
Drawing out the comparison, Gingrich argued that no less than heavyweight Democratic donor George Soros believes that Romney and Barack Obama are one and the same.
"George Soros in Europe yesterday said publicly in a Reuters interview that's on video that he's perfectly happy with either Obama or Romney, that they're the same people," Gingrich said. "Minor differences. He said 'Gingrich- now that would be real change.' But he said Romney's fine."
A Florida poll released Friday by Quinnipiac University showed Romney opening a double-digit lead over Gingrich in the state: 43 to 29 percent. During his GMA interview, Gingrich touted an Insider Advantage poll released Sunday which he says shows he "closed the gap... within give points" of Romney. Gingrich trails Romney in that poll 31 to 36 percent.
