Mitt Romney, the anti-Trump: No balls, no fire, no guts, no fight
What a revelation it was to hear Mitt Romney, in his own words, betray his true nature as a pious coward and a privileged guardian of the status quo (Friday, June 10, CNN). It is now nauseatingly obvious why he failed to defeat Barack Obama after his trifling first term, and why the wealthy GOPe selected him in 2012 as one of our pre-approved candidates. Mitt is so desperate to “go along to get along” that he will stand and watch his country get hollowed out, then sold out, while our throats are slit in front of him. He is truly the anti-Trump.
Wolf Blitzer handed him a softball interview, giving Romney a platform to smugly accuse Donald Trump of racism, sexism, and bigotry, and imply that anyone who supports him is guilty of the same. Blitzer did not present Romney any tough challenges, but instead let him appear as a gentleman and serenely vomit out his attacks without mussing his shirt.
Romney is a namby-pamby putz. It is more clear than ever why he lost in 2012 to Obama, a failed president any real fighter could have beat. It should have been like shooting kittens in a barrel. But Mitt lost because he has nothing Donald has: No balls, no fire, no verve, no guts, no fight. Weak, weak, weak. A baby, a big dumb baby.
At his annual Education and Enthusiasts ideas conference (“E2”), he sat for the interview in a suite at the five-star Deer Valley resort of the Wasatch Mountains near near Park City, Utah. E2 is the perfect venue for Romney to do what he’s good at: Chat in comfort and privacy while raising money with the mega-rich, plan the lives and futures of the rest of us, and enjoy barbecue in perfectly pressed Dockers and gingham shirts. This year he took time from the conference to undermine the people’s nominee on prime time television.
Mitt threw out horrible, false epithets at Trump but didn’t have to back them up. I would like to see him appear with others who will challenge him, but you can he bet won’t do it. For Mitt, there’s no room for debate. Instead we got a pointless softball interview, pointless except to put another knife in Trump. I bet it won’t be his last, either. Romney would obviously rather see our throats slashed than suffer a jab or a bruise — “honor” above all, the kind of honor that betrays the people without getting one’s hands dirty.
Romney's legacy was Term 2 of Obama. Now he wants to add to that a defeat of Trump in 2016.
One has to ask how many billions does Romney stand to make in the Hillary cronyconomy?
Romney is an idiot.
In solidarity to any dog on the roof of a car
I think this is his way of covering up his failure in 2012.
Also, as a Mormom, he believes that his own works can save him. This is important. What you have to depend on your own piety and self-righteousness for your eternal salvation, then everything you do is in support of that. And you end up being pious and self-righteous. Which is what this interview shows in spades.
When you have grace, and you know you are accepted in your weakness and in spite of your unworthiness, it is actually a lot easier to fight like hell and let the chips fall where they may.
Mitt is still trying to shore up his legacy, and I think also living out his life in self-justification. Because when you don’t have grace, you have nothing else to do.
That’s funny, I hadn’t see that one yet!
Yeah, attack one of your own. Thanks, Mitt.
I remember the Mitt / Barry debates. Barry would say something, and Mitt would chime in how much he agrees.
If Mitt were to actually “attack one of his own” he would be going after a democrat.
Romneykins lacks honor and integrity, not to mention he is a weak-minded gutless sniveling weasel. I’ve been sickened to have to vote for him in 2012, sickened at how he lost a highly winnable campaign against the Obamanation, and now disgusted at his working to undermine The People’s Choice.
Romneykins is working for Hillary’s election. Therefore, he is the enemy of all conservatives and real Americans.
Romney played both the race card and the tax return schtick on Trump. Watching the CNN interview made my blood boil.
palm leaving/palm leaves
You are right: He is the enemy. We absolutely must treat him accordingly.
Yes, a big, dumb baby.
I wouldn't p*ss on him to put him out.
Mitt is EXACTLY the kind of guy who, after one or two years of incredible success by the Trump Administration, will go on CNN and say, “You know, we had our differences, but I knew all the time this would happen.”
That's an excellent summary of the man. It's temporary-tagline-worthy, in fact...
Vote Trump!
