This is the craziest presidential election I’ve ever seen. Voters on both sides of the aisle are rebelling against their party establishment. Donald Trump who has never before run for office is the presumptive GOP nominee. And Bernie Sanders, a 74-year old Socialist, continues to give Hillary a run for her money, generating 100% of the enthusiasm on the Democrat side.
There’s something else brand new about this election – the role of last election’s loser.
I thought the role of a Presidential election loser that doesn’t hold any other elective office is to slither away into hiding somewhere and grow a beard; maybe resurface in ten years on some talk show touting his new book on farming. But Mitt Romney seems to think loser is a high status position.
He keeps inserting himself into the politics of this election. After losing a winnable 2012 election to Barack Obama, Romney appointed himself elder statesman of the party establishment this past March. When Trump scored impressive victories on Super Tuesday and became the favorite to win the nomination, Mitt took to the airwaves to excoriate Trump. He also lectured voters on how they were getting it wrong and then provided instructions on how they should vote going forward.
It didn’t work. It was in essence his second failed campaign in less than four years. One can only wonder why the voters didn’t follow Mitt’s judgment. Maybe it’s because that same judgment is largely responsible for the fact that the country is much farther down the road of secular, socialist, welfare-state stagnation than it was four years ago. Or maybe it’s just because he’s boring.

No. He still sides with The Party of Government (aka the Uniparty)
Mittens?
He’s tried and failed to recruit a third party candidate to stop Trump.
Flush him down the toilet - good riddance!

Clinton/Romney 2016. Bring it.
If Romney had campaigned as hard against The Won as he’s campaigning against Trump, he’d be running for reelection today.
D party purchased as a tool for conquest of America by over $100,000,000.00 from IslamoNazi dictatorships on Arabian Peninsula........that being just the payments to Clintons alone....add to that payments to DNC and several more politicial hacks in high places like Congress.
R party also sold out (at least, much of the GOP-E is sold out). They advocate same destructive policies like open borders so more and more IslamoNazi fighting-age young men can enter USA and take up positions inside our communities.
Both party machines also support destructive trade policies and all D party bosses and most GOP-E support more and more fascistic “state” takeover of our economy (note how its been failing ever since) ... and they almost all support cancelling our Bill of Rights and depriving us all of as many of our liberties as they can get away with.
And they are almost all in favor of destroying our faith and morals, too.
Is it any wonder voters in both parties want their party elite bosses to be TOSSED OUT!????
We ned to clean out the Aegean Stables (on the Pontomac) just like Hercules did thousands of years ago
If Mittens had worked twice as hard at defeating Obama as he is in seeking to keep Trump out of the White House, he would be running for re-election today.
Mittens is a passionate guy - just not when it comes to defeating Democrats and the agenda of the Left.
And now he wants to gift us with four more years of Obama! What a swell guy.
Mitt Romney, the best democRAT money could buy.

Romney is jealous Trump is succeeding where he failed.
No wonder he had to speak up.
He’s on his own side.
Mitt has a position for every issue.
If you don’t like the one he has now, he’ll sell you one you want to hear.
As a board member of the Cheap Labor Express, he will try everything to prevent the citizens from electing Trump.
Puerto Rico needs a bailout or Bain Capital takes a bath as well.
Are we talking about the same man here? The candidate Mitt Romney or former president Mitt Romney?
I didn’t know Mittens is now an elder party statesman.
Losers are usually neither seen nor heard from.
It took the Democrats decades to rehabilitate Carter.
Mittens has accomplished it in a fraction of the time.
Mitt picked the wrong horse and bet his future on it.
He was a lousy candidate in 2012 but had a reputation as a decent and honorable man if somewhat weak, naive and much too liberal.
He managed to blow that respect in just a few short months.
I don’t think many here will admit voting for Romney.
Mitt should be out looking for Joe Smith’s missing jewels...
Mitt is a modern Adlai Stevenson. Perennial loser.
