Why isn’t Mitt Romney president? Because he thinks like this.
Over at Breitbart was this headline:
MITT ROMNEY: DEMISE OF LEGACY MEDIA EMPOWERING CONSERVATIVE ‘INSURGENTS,’ PREVENTING MORE ‘COLLABORATIVE ACTION’
The story reads, in part, like this:
Failed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney lamented that the demise of traditional media is empowering Republican “insurgents” and preventing establishment Republicans from compromising more with Democrats.
As the Republican establishment is trying convince Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to run for House Speaker, Romney told David Axelrod on a recent “The Axe Files” podcast that the “extremes within our respective parties are having a louder and louder voice and demanding more attention” and “immediate action” as opposed to more “collaborative action.”
Romney said this phenomenon flows in part from the “change in the world of media.”
“There was a time when we all got the news with the same facts, if you will,” he said. “We had three networks we watched for the evening news. Most of us got newspapers. Everybody in the middle class got a newspaper, so we got the same facts whether we agreed or not with them.”

Mitt, the extreme wing of the Democrat party is the Democrat party. The fact that you can't recognize this makes me realize that my vote in 2012 was a total waste of time.
That apple didn’t fall very far from the tree.
Hey mitt, go #$@#$#$ yourself and go to heck.
These one worlders are getting me more and more angry.
WHAT is the FRINGE ideals we have have?
not letting illegals flood the border? balancing budget?
killing permanent welfare and foodstamps and section 8 for people who do nothing?
Thinking Gay marriage is absurd?
wanted the unborn to have at least a little protection. we can’t even get 20 weeks passed.
I’m REALLY angry at these elitist rich republicans fakes who think we are surfs to do their bidding!!!
i’m in the processing of registering for a gun in NY.
I’m getting closer and closer to moving south if the @#$@$# hits the fan!!!
but i HATE anything above 70 degrees!!
Romney and his running mate tried mightily to come across as conservatives during the 2012 campaign, especially when addressing conservative audiences. Now that Romney is not running he is more willing to drop that guise.
But...But...Mittens said he was an extreme conservative!
Bingo!! Rush makes this point often. “Bipartisan” always means the RATS get their way. It is control of the language and the left does it perfectly, leaving the stupid party behind.
Like Obama, he's lamenting the fact the elites can't mind-control the public any more to make it easier for them to protect the status quo and their elite positions like they can in China.
So sick of these smug globalist sell outs. At least they are all admitting what they are.
Excuse me mittens, but the extremists are the doofuses in control. Rationality has been banished and is fighting to retake control of the GOP. The weirdo extremists are the “establishment.”
Catch the wave, Mitt, or wipe out.
He sounds just like 0bama.
Where’s that Gomer Pyle pic?
Mitt Romney is a smashing idiot.
Another, well placed bastard- against Our Liberty. This will not end by any US election.
Oh, don’t mind those of us that tries warning the political right of the voterbase. We’ll just be over here wondering why so many people deluded themselves into voting for Barry’s white twin.
If you need us for any more blatantly obvious predictions, you know where to find us.
Once again, proud to say I did not vote for Willard.
I can’t believe I voted for this ahole Mittens and the scumbag Ryan in 2012.
This man is apparently still living in the 20th Century. Any more questions as to why he lost? "Facts?" Really? That's what he thinks the big 3 networks and the "newspapers of record" reported back when or even now? Dude, get an Internet connection.
WTF?
This guy is a moron. We are $20 trillion in debt not counting the unfunded liabilities, Obamacare is stifling employment and increasing costs for everybody, our military is in shambles, our foreign policy is in shambles and this REPUBLICAN POS is blaming Free Republic, Rush, Mark Levin, OAN, Full Measure, etc.? Are you kidding me?
