FUMR
We WIN!
Trump = Winner, Romney = Loser. Milt loses when he’s not even running. What a tool.
Mitt is just NOT! Say something relevant. Be relevant.
Go home Mitt.
Proving to be the loser that he really is!
Yes 400 -8
Yes, 400 to 8
Good, very good. He manages to lose because he is a loser.
Mitt will soon be asking the Donald for a position in his admin.
Probably.
I just received an email from Ed Rollins - yes, that Ed Rollins - claiming that Trump has highly praised Rollins and that, oh by the way, Rollins is now heading up a SuperPAC that (he claims) will be supporting Trump.
They’re all going to try to milk the money from the Trump Train, now.
Heads up.
I love this phrase from Trump. We have been beaten down so much we tend to look for ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory rather than the other way around. We have to see ourselves as winners, as leaders. When we take on the left we need to expect to win.
ROMNEY has NO credibility. Zero. Nada.
Go home Romney, you evil SOB !
Mitt will NEVER get a clue.
awkwarddddddd
Mitt is more likely to defect to Mrs. Bill, but she won’t want him. He will be “a man without a party”.
