Romney is not running for office, the issue is not Mitt it is Trump. It seems that when Trump receives criticism he and his followers resort to the Alinski tactics and make the issue the author of the attacks to avoid legitimate discussion of the raised issues concerning Trump. To date Trump supporters have attacked: Rush, Levin, Every talking head on Fox, Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, Redstate, National Review, Weekly Standard, Romney, McCain and every republican that does not bow before the Donald. While many of these deserve a rebuke, not everything they say or do is wrong, yet they are cast in entirety under the Trump bus. Why is Trump so divisive and yet so popular - perhaps for the same reasons that Obama was so divisive and yet so popular - Alinski rules!
If memory serves same thing in 1964...guy named Goldwater. Some establishment types went out to badmouth the nominee, including one Gov. George Romney.
It's not for them to tell me what this election is about...and it's not for you. I'll decide my issues, and my #1 issue is that the GOPee is GOING DOWN.
