Gingrich painted a stark picture of the “swamp” in Washington, describing it as twice or three times more corrupt than it was during his tenure.

He argued that the balance of power intentionally designed by the Founding Fathers may lead to difficulties but ultimately ensures a fair distribution of authority and prevents any single entity from wielding unchecked power.
