Milbank: Trump will lose, or I will eat this column
The Salt Lake Tribune ^ | October 4, 2015 | Dana Milbank, The Washington Post

Posted on 10/04/2015 9:42:03 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

I never expected to write these words, but I miss Mitt Romney.

Last Wednesday, the day the front-runner for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination was in New Hampshire alleging that Syrian refugees fleeing for their lives may actually be clandestine terrorists, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee was in Washington, talking sense.

"Donald Trump will not be the nominee," Romney told a group of business-school students at Georgetown University. And why won't Trump, who when he isn't besmirching Syrian refugees as terrorists is maligning Mexican immigrants as rapists, get the nod? Because, Romney said, "when all is said and done, the American people usually do the right thing."

The Washington Post's Philip Rucker recorded Romney's categorical prediction, and his rationale. "I know there's some skunks in any endeavor — business, politics — and they get most of the visibility, but there are also some really good people," Romney said. "The American people are a very good people and by and large find people of similar character to elect to the highest office in the land."(continued)

Can you imagine the establishmedia saying anything like this about any other candidate?


No, I cannot.

The establishment is all in with the Dims and MSM, on the full bore destruction of this country....so Trump must be stopped, in their putrid minds.

If Romney believes his own quote, he must therefor be admitting that Obama has better character and qualities than himself. Amen says President Obama!

So tell us Mitt, just how much worse shape would we be in had the wise American citizens, unwisely made you President?

Romney said, "when all is said and done, the American people usually do the right thing."

So Romney is saying the American people did the right thing in electing Obama instead of himself? LOL

These morons have been telling us for 3 months, at every opportunity, how Trump isn’t a “real” candidate, that he’s “Finished”, that he can’t win, etc.

I remember being told the same things about Ronaldus Maximus, too.
After all, who was dumb enough to elect a guy that played second-fiddle to a chimp??

Don't feed us straight lines, Mitwit.

He is a liberal Obama sycophant.

The fact he quotes Romney who lost to Obama to disparage Trump, tells us everything we need to know.

He doesn’t get it - they all don’t get it.

I would love to see him take up his vow to literally eat his own column.

She is a he.

Might as well be a "she." He's another lefty beta male from the WAPO who won the "GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Newspaper Columnist."

Is Dana a male? Only his urologist knows for sure.

Then again liberals are typically pantywaists.
