Mitt Should Switch Sides (he already has!)
newsmax.com ^ | 5/15/16 | Tom Hutchinson

Posted on 05/16/2016 3:57:57 PM PDT by cotton1706

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.

Mitt turns out to be a Socialist of the First Order? Just where does that put Paul Ryno?

Well, I certainly didn’t vote for Paul Ryno (Cantorization be upon him...).

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.

“If Romney had campaigned as hard against The Won as he’s campaigning against Trump, he’d be running for reelection today.”

That is the damn truth. Just goes to show he is more aligned with the dimoKKKRATS. He could not find much in the way of bad things to say about them. However with Trump he has found a lot of bad things to say. What a loser he has turned out to be.

He’s quite happy as a member of the JV team of the Uniparty.

Romney is just soooooo jealous of Trump. That’s why he’s obsessed with the tax returns. You know damn well the Trump has worked a hundred times harder than Romney.

Mitt switching sides like Italy switching sides between World War 1 and World War 2

Mittens has accomplished it in a fraction of the time.

Well, it's more a case of the piece of Mitt that wouldn't flush...
