We Need Mitt Romney. And We Need Him Now. (The Bulwark)
The Bulwark ^ | Feb 22 2019 | Gabriel Schoenfeld

Posted on 02/23/2019 10:06:48 AM PST by rintintin

With Donald Trump’s proclamation of a phony national emergency in response to a phony invasion on our southern border, the country has entered a genuine constitutional crisis.

Military funds have been diverted under emergency presidential authority only twice before in our history: by Bush 41 after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, and by Bush 43 following 9/11. Never before has a president run roughshod over Congress in this manner, abusing statutorily granted emergency powers for an obviously pretextual and nakedly political purpose, and thereby usurping Congress’s constitutionally allotted power of the purse.

NRO only allows paid subscribers to comment

Can’t tell the difference between lunatic liberals and the butthurt never Trumpers that whine on there

Even Red State had the sense to boot most of their insane writers before they went under

That’s right, I remember that NR doesn’t allow comments. What I’ve been told, though, is that they get their heads ripped off when posting their articles on Facebook.

“PDJT hasn’t even really started to Drained the Swamp (his chief campaign promise, slogan)”

He’s gutted the leadership of the FBI. The list is pretty long. Unelected positions are the only ones he can deal with, we have to help with the elected positions.

Wow. Want an idiot. Been there. Done that with the Romney thing. These RINOs just don’t care about the future do they? They just want the cheap labor now so they can make a quick buck. They don’t care if the USA becomes another California. They are as bad as the Democrats. Maybe worse because at least we know our enemy.

The uniparty of democrats and traitor Republicans already have Romney. He has formed a committee to select Repub candidates for the 2020 election. He left Calif, which has a sore need for Republican leadership, to give a hand to the senate No Trumpers in subverting Pres Trump. The Rep party, for survival alone, has to stay ahead of Romney in selecting and vetting candidates for elective office. Mitt Romney is a disgraceful and ungrateful person who, after being supported by millions of Republicans, viciously attracted Pres Trump because he defeated Hilary Clinton. We all know where we would now be had Donald Trump not chosen to run, and thank our merciful God, won. Mitt Romney is NEVER to be trusted.

Their goal is to get Romney to run under a 3rd Party banner. Not because they think he can win, but because that would throw the election to the Democrat, thus defeating Trump.

Invading Kuwait was absolutely essential to U.S. national security? Also, the author contradicts himself in this very sentence. If it’s been done twice before. then you can’t say “never before”.

We used to have two parties that loved America. The Democrats looked out for the working class, and the Republicans looked out for the bosses. Now we have one party that hates America and wants to transform it into something that would horrify the founding fathers. So it’s up to the GOP to be the party of the working class, the middle class, and the wealthy. The country clubbers like Romney and the Bushes never wanted that. It’s up to the voters to transform this party on our own. We must demand Trump like populist candidates at every level, who understand that it’s up to the GOP to save the country from the marxists. If the GOPe doesn’t want to do that, then we have to get rid of them. It’s really up to us.

I have been racking my brain and I have come up empty. I cannot think of a single reason I need Mitt Romney for anything.

Doubtful national security would be an emergency for Mitt.

Apparently the Bullwhip -- or whatever that stupid website is called -- is the pile of scraps left over after the Weekly Standard went out of business.

It's the website for Jewish Republicans ... all six of them.
