Inside Romney's Trump strategy
Politico ^ | May 31, 2019 | Burgess Everett

Posted on 05/31/2019 11:36:19 AM PDT by C19fan

When asked about Republicans’ criticism of his occasional anti-Trump stances, Mitt Romney doesn’t miss a beat: “I have to show you something.”

He grabs his iPad and pulls up an article: “Romney: why the Republican pros distrust him.” It’s a 1964 Look Magazine profile about his father, George, a former moderate governor of Michigan, which claims that “party people are troubled by what he says.”

Romney has won the title of the new McPain. I can't believe I voted for this "do-gooder".

If the Nasty Juan McStain and the Vile Saint Jeffy Flake had a baby together, it would be Willard Romney.

Romney’s father was born in Mexico and ineligible to be President.
His was one of the first attempts at gutting the natural protections of the natural born citizen requirement.

Romney's father presided over the start of the decline of Michigan as an industrial powerhouse, and the rapid descent of Detroit into riots, bankruptcy, crime and depopulation - the worst of any major American city.

But at least he preserved his reputation as a well-meaning elitist and so-called moderate. No thanks.

That’s why old George Romney never was President. A pox on their house.

Thanks C19fan. Hairdo will choke on a piece of expensive steak on his Gulfstream someday, and there won't be anyone nearby to give him the heimlich.

It’s genetic. Mitt inherited his attitudes for his dad George.

And George claimed he was “brainwashed” by the officials who gave him briefings about the internal workings of the internal and foreign activities of the State Department, giving a skewed idea of the geopolitical workings of America, particularly why we were in Vietnam and not in Cuba.

1964, Romney or Goldwater? A no brainer. The Romney clan have always been the turd in the punch bowl.

George also completely torpedoed Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign in 1964.

Romney: ““There’s a long history and a family trait of saying what you believe and not worrying about what other people think.”

And he said that, with a straight face. The man who lived and died and pooped peanuts based on polls. He ain’t a used-car salesman; the man’s a pimp.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz whatever. I no longer care what Mitt Romney says or does. He should be retired and playing with his grandkids and enjoying his money. Instead he’s pathetically running around to any Lib reporter who will listen, pulling out his iPad and saying “I have to show you something.”

Romney see himself getting a do-over at losing a presidential race if he can eliminate the front runner.

So Romney is just saying “I am a dick because it’s genetic.”

Mittens can FOAD.
