Oh shut up, Mitt: Romney had his chance at running for president and he blew it bigly
The Star Ledger of Newark ^ | 01.03.19 | Paul Mulshine

Here’s a quick quiz: Name one issue on which Mitt Romney has ever taken a principled stand and continued to defend it in the face of criticism.

Can’t think of one? Me neither.

So I got a good laugh the other day when the incoming senator from Utah penned a piece for the Washington Post in which he attacked President Trump’s character.

Say what you will about Trump, but this is a guy who takes a position and sticks to it in the face of whatever opposition is thrown at him.

Just in the past couple weeks, he has outraged the Washington establishment by declaring he will keep his campaign promises to pull U.S. troops out of Syria and to build a wall on the Mexican border. You might dislike his promises, but you certainly can’t accuse him of abandoning them.

As for Romney, he’s like that politician during the French Revolution who said, “There go the people. I must follow them because I am their leader.”

He lost his best chance for ever being President when he let Obama and Candy out talk him and he just stood there with a smile and rearranged his Pencil.

I’ll never forget how after Mitt threw the election, his son gave an interview saying his dad never wanted to be president anyway............and I believed him!

He did not blow it. He took a fall - twice.

romney is consistent in his abuse of both dogs and the
American people upon he imposes his fleeting fantasies.
