"Romney? Gingrich? Paupers! Pish-Posh!"<\/p><\/div>\n

(New York, New York) The Rich Guy From Monopoly has emerged from nowhere as front-runner in the race for the Republican nomination.<\/p>\n

“If they want a rich guy who’s out of touch with America, why not pick the original?”<\/p>\n

“Like Mitt and Newt, I’m part of the 1%. And like them, I don’t like to to pay taxes. Romney has money in the Cayman Islands, who knows what Gingrich’s got. And me?
