Romney knows this because his fellow Mormon, Harry Reid told him

Trump is popular because of his positions.

The lie that conservatives will ‘pay the price’ for not compromising is just that: A big lie.

Those that give in and DON’T fight Obama are the ones in trouble. Every campaign ad I see is, “Joe Politician stood up to Obama..”

Mr. “Severely” Conservative...fortunately for the rest of us, his opinions don’t carry much weight. Even McQueeq didn’t like him in 2008.

I think Mitt is right. We haven’t collaborated or compromised. We’ve capitulayed.

Interesting that Romney and Hillary have the same identical
enemies.

Not Islamic terrorism.

Not Tyranny.

Not governmental fraud, lying, and their coverup.

Just those pesky conservatives.

˜Legacy media" and "traditional media" are merely euphemisms for the enemedia and cheerleaders for the left. They might someday be grateful that they became irrelevant and avoided Julius Streicher therapy.

Inasmuch as practicing actual journalism does not seem to be an option for them.

GOPe bums like Romney have compromised us all the way to socialism . . . yes we are pretty much there already.

Further compromise only digs a deeper hole. Wake up GOPe!!! We don’t want any more of your crony capitalism or socialism. We are NOT your worker ant colony.

As the Republican establishment is trying convince Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 58% 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.”

I thought he was a "severe" conservative. There are so many things wrong with this! This is right there with Jeb using that snarky bitch to try to "gotcha ya" Trump about women's issues.

Let me translate Romney’s lament from Statist to English:

“I miss the good old days where news came from ABC, NBC, CBS or the New York Times. Back in those days it was easy to control the message and therefore control what the people thought.”

.......Jimmy Carter, over recent decades, has worked hard to become the laughing stock of the world and a total embarrassment to America.

Mitt Romney is gaining on him.

The fact that the GOPe ran a socialist to begin with should be reason enough to send them all packing!


I think that’s what we’re trying to do, send them all packing

“lol
I would LOVE the left to “collaborate” with us to:

repeal Obamacare.
impeach at least 5 liberal supreme court judges
impeach Obama
deport 20 million illegals and their spawn

But for some reason the left only wants to collaborate when that involves us doing what THEY want. “

Bears repeating.

So in fairness Romney, in his comments, is also calling out the SJWs who are the tail thats wagging the Democratic dog.

And at least on that he’s hitting the target. People need to remember that the Conservative “insurgent” behavior GOPe’ers are decrying is a reaction to the SJW’s dominance of the Democrats that the Dem establishment has fully embraced and the GOPe has proven incapable of countering.

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.

And this is why there was very little enthusiasm for Romney. I knew that if he won, I would be constantly furious with his efforts to compromise with Democrats.

Hello? That's how we got into this mess. Democrats are wrong, and they should not be "compromised" with.

The horrors! It's the reason Romney earned and received so few votes. He was merely a slow boat to the same failed policies

When I see these GOP-e tools, such as Mitt Romney implicitly advocating for the shutdown of free expression on the internet, I wonder if it isn’t a good thing that Obama won. With Romney, there would be NO GOP resistance to GOP liberalism, as opposed to token resistance.
