#NeverTrump withers.
If #NeverTrump was on a stretcher, its doctor would be saying call it and looking up at the clock right about now. When Cruz left the race it seemed like the movement might have legs, but whatever life it once held has been steadily bleeding out ever since. As Trump gets stronger (and polls better) the odds that #NeverTrumpers could achieve their goals have all but collapsed.
Now, one of #NeverTrumps top dogs is wandering away from the effort. Mitt Romney - a man who knows a thing or two about suspending campaigns - has decided its time to abandon his search for an independent third-party conservative.
“The Mormon Plan” to put Hillary in as President has failed.
1) Run against Jeb -> Fail
2) Trash Trump -> Fail
3) Use Beck to destroy Trump and Cruz -> just destroyed Cruz
4) #neverTrump -> Epic Fail
5) Third Party -> Fail
6) Gary Johnson Libertarian Ploy -> in progress
Soft serve vanilla, sigh.
"...Mitt Romney suspends campaign..."
I’ve believed since June of last year, that Trump would be our nominee, then go on to handily whup the Democrat in the general election.
Not saying I’m psychic, or that I’m any kind of expert handicapper - it’s just been that obvious to me since Trump got into the race.
I also think he’s going to be a great president.
Adios Myth!
May the doorknob hurt like hell as it whacks you, while you are exiting from another loss.
Go on a long Mormon Mission to Puerto Rico!
Porky Pig bids a final farewell to Myth~
Mitt Romney suspends his campaign
....but he will be keeping his “Ready for Hillary” t-shirt.
Anyone a neighbor of Mitt’s? If so, fill his front yard with Hillary signs.
It's sad. Romney always looked the part of that perfect and fashionable prep school and Ivy league guy, son of a famous politician, yachtsman, who rose to the level of his incompetence at a consulting firm and governorship. He always tilted his head and smiled in that perfectly presidentially correct way, then helped a 1990s office supply store to get started but failed to advise them about a rather insignificant trend called the Internet. Mittens dude, don't you mess with our Donald! He's the real deal, not a GOPe puppet, backstabber, scaredy-cat, business lightweight, and loser. Crawl back into your hole at your La Jolla mansion and give that croquet mallet and balls our yours some exercise. Oh, and by the way, Mitt, have a nice day. |
He’s really not thought of the way he used to be around people anymore...
It really started when he was ‘given’ the Governorship of Mass. Ted Kennedy told him if he would do certain things, he would make sure that he would be Gov. so Mittens said ok, from then on it was Ted saying: “Jump” Mittens replying: “Is that high enough”....then they brought him to Salt Lake City to fix the Olympics and he did, so I guess his head bloomed out thinking he was more important that he really is...I hope he now realizes that he is the ‘mat’ at the front door that you wipe your feet on....
Good one, VK. I like the Mittens label too. Reminds me of Kittens and other furry, harmless things. You just got to be careful with how you handle kittens. But if you pick one up the tail, you're bound to get scratched up pretty bad :- ) |
It really is full on pitiful - not just for him, but anyone (that includes me) who back then took him even a tiny bit seriously, making excuses for him left and right.
