Meet the new Mittens, same as the old Mittens.
Hes either at your feet or at your throat, as Clemenceau once said of Germany.
Always willing to stab another Republican in the back, even more eager to genuflect in front of whatever loathsome hack Democrat will be only too ready to double-cross Willard when the moment arrives, as it invariably does.
Willard Mitt Romney The Washington Posts latest anti-Trump bloviator shares the same first name as the most famous rat in Hollywood history. Coincidence?
At age 71, about to be sworn in today as the junior senator from his latest home state of Utah, hes already putting the blast on his leader of his party, Donald J. Trump.
Thats right, the same Trump whose endorsement for president Romney flew to Las Vegas to slobberingly accept in 2012, after which Mitt denounced him as a flim-flam man in early 2016 when Trump himself was seeking the job, and then only months later made a pilgrimage to Trump Tower after the election to beg President-elect Con Artist on bended knee for the job of Secretary of State .
You might say he was for Trump before he was against Trump before he was for Trump before he was against Trump. You cant get any more Willard than that. Hes flipped on the subject of Trump more often than hes flipped on abortion, or illegal immigration.
And now, hours before assuming office, Willard attacks Trump in the most rabid of the Fake News print outlets, The Washington Post, for not having risen to the mantle of the office.
If you missed the sanctimonious screed, dont feel bad. It was easy to overlook, in the Posts daily torrent of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Mittens piece was competing for clicks against op-eds about, among many other things, Trumps nihilism and this sad, embarrassing wreck of a man, not to mention the cult of Trumps personality and the frightful portrait of a man out of control or well, you get the picture.
In other words, Mitt is now merely another voice in the chorus, another brick in the wall. And he puts the blast on Trump in the same parlor-pink sheet that in 2012 basically accused him of driving a gay prep-school classmate to an early grave by cutting his hair in a childish prank in the early 1960s.
Once again, Mitt proves himself a victim of political Stockholm Syndrome, identifying with his captors. Hes not a battered wife, hes a battered RINO Republican in Name Only.
But unlike most of the other never-Trumpers, Mittens doesnt wear a bow tie. He wasnt born in Moscow or Nicaragua or Toronto, like so many of the other neo-con Trump haters. He didnt run a crappy little magazine that just folded.
He was the GOP candidate in 2012, for Petes sake, as he would put it. Youd think hed be willing to give a guy who accomplished what he and his father George before him never could the benefit of the doubt. But no.
A president, the wannabee president wrote, should demonstrate the essential qualities of honesty and integrity.
Honesty and integrity you know, like Barack If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor Obama. Or George Mission Accomplished Bush. Or Bill I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky Clinton. Or George H.W. Read my lips, no new taxes Bush.
Thats the kind of honesty and integrity that Mittens would like to see return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Mittens claims to be truly heartbroken to learn from a Pew poll that there is now less faith in the United States among people in Germany, Britain, France, Canada and Sweden.
Oh no!
By the way, given recent events, how much confidence do the sheep-like residents of those decaying, immigrant-overridden gerontocracies have in their own failed governments?
Dont worry, though, Mittens vows to speak out against policies that are divisive, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions.
Virtue signaling, thy name is Willard. You know, for a guy whos never taken a drink, Sen. Romney certainly seems to have an unhealthy craving to get invited to all the fashionable cocktail parties in Georgetown.
If only he had shown such backbone when, say, Ted Kennedy was drunkenly attacking him in 1994, or when Barack Obama slapped him down for speaking the truth about Benghazi and Russia in 2012. But no, when a pablum-puking leftist as much as glares at him, Mittens drops into the fetal position and begins whining, May I have another, sir?
But Mitts play now is pretty clear. As of today, Sens. Jeff Flake and Bob Corker are gone from politics. Ditto his old running mate, Speaker Paul Ryan. John Kasich is leaving office in Ohio. John McCain aint coming down for breakfast.
So theres a vacuum to be filled in the prime time lineups of CNN and MSNBC and on the networks unwatchable Sunday chat shows. Those Democrats with press passes want a Republican on their panels along with the six Democrats, an elected Republican, preferably, whos responsible, an adult, who wants to reach across the aisle and then stumble into the fetal position for a good stomping in the general election.
Paging Willard Romney. I can see the editorials now in his new favorite newspapers, the Post and The New York Times about how hes grown and evolved and .
Mitt still wants these Democrats to love him. I guess you cant teach an old dog new tricks, but its a lesson Mittens should have learned decades ago.
If youre a Republican putting the blast on other Republicans, youre the toast of the town. At least until youre running head-to-head against a Democrat. Then youre just plain toast.
Don’t worry. It was going to be SOMEBODY.
Mittens has all of the charm of a used-car salesman. McCain without the “war hero” mantle.
His freaky Mormonism and slimy personality are the perfect face to have on the Cheap Labor Express faction of the GOPe that he represents. The GOP needs to be “woke” to his kind and the danger to America that they represent. What better spokesman for their cause could we ask for than a retard like Willard?
More than a few....many more. Just watch the upcoming election for Minority leader in the House.
Anyone have the best photo of Mr. Romney? Mitt went to Trump Tower to interview for the job of Sec of State. Trump released one photo of that meeting. The men were seated at Trump’s restaurant, and what was on Mitt’s plate? Frogs legs! I thought that was the funniest put-down ever.
Romney sure loved Trump when he wanted a job.
Howie rocks!
Howie ping!
I think that Trump ‘put-down’ for the Sec of State job....galvanized Romney from a four-star ‘slug’ to a five star ‘slug’.
My question to Romney after reading the op-ed piece....which Russian ‘collusion’ agent wrote it for you? The Russian agents which helped you lose in 2012....are they still working for you today?
Actually, Willard was the creepy guy who owned all the rats. The head rat was named Ben.
I had a wonderful evening with President-elect Trump. We had another discussion about affairs throughout the world and these discussions Ive had with him have been enlightening and interesting and engaging. Ive enjoyed them very, very much. I was also very impressed by the remarks he made on his victory night.
By the way, its not easy winning. I know that myself. He did something I tried to do and was unsuccessful in accomplishing. He won the General Election, and he continues with a message of inclusion and bringing people together. And his vision is something which obviously connected with the American people in a very powerful way.
The last few weeks, hes been carrying out a transition effort, and I have to tell you Ive been impressed by what Ive seen in the transition effort. The people hes selected as members of his cabinet are solid, effective, capable people. Some of them I know very well.
Nikki Haley and I go way back. Shes an outspoken, strong, powerful leader. Tom Price is someone who actually came to my office before hed run for Senate and we spent time talking about health care what an expert and solid thinker in that arena and others. Jeff Sessions was someone who I knew through my campaigns, helped me very early on. He has a distinguished record in the Senate. And, of course, many others. Betsy DeVos and a long list of people. Very impressive individuals.
I happen to think that Americas best days are ahead of us. I think youre gonna see America continuing to lead the world in this century. And what Ive seen through these discussions Ive had with President-elect Trump, as well as what weve seen in his speech on the night of his victory, as well as the people hes selected as part of his transition all of those things combined give me increasing hope that President-elect Trump is the very man who can lead us to that better future. Thank you.
Exactly!
trump was stupid not to make him an ambassador someplace.
After Howie says it, there ain’t much left to say.
[Gov] Romney also kept giving mulligans to a city education superintendent (from PR) that couldn't pass the state-mandated English exam for education "professionals".
