We Need Mitt Romney. And We Need Him Now. (The Bulwark)
The Bulwark ^ | Feb 22 2019 | Gabriel Schoenfeld

Posted on 02/23/2019 10:06:48 AM PST by rintintin

With Donald Trump’s proclamation of a phony national emergency in response to a phony invasion on our southern border, the country has entered a genuine constitutional crisis.

Military funds have been diverted under emergency presidential authority only twice before in our history: by Bush 41 after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, and by Bush 43 following 9/11. Never before has a president run roughshod over Congress in this manner, abusing statutorily granted emergency powers for an obviously pretextual and nakedly political purpose, and thereby usurping Congress’s constitutionally allotted power of the purse.

Like who needs Mitt Romney? For what purpose would such a thing as Romney be needed? Like totally bewildered.

The very last gasp of the never-Trumpers.

As irrelevant as the Bull Moose.

Got is a traitor! We don’t need this anti America closet Democrat. When it was time to sh_t or git, he got. When it was time to support conservative ideas, he refused to support the agenda. Because he is a President Trump HATER!

Trump isn’t running roughshod over Congress. He’s employing a congressionally authorized procedure, and using money authorized by Congress, in a manner permitted by statute

Fresh tweet from our POTUS flatly refutes any notion that we need Mittens or anyone else, for that matter!!!

unless I’m overlooking, apparently Bulwark doesn’t allow online reader comments. Don’t they want to facilitate a conversation?

Isn’t Romney for e-verify, an important reform that Trump hasn’t implemented?

I guess tens of millions of illegals in the US does not constitute an emergency.

The first thing I checked was the comment section. No comments, lol. No, they don’t want to have a conversation. I’m sure Kristol is posting it on Twitter so one can always abuse him there. I do!

Gabriel Schoenfeld was an adviser to Romney's 2012, so a least he has a reason for wanting Romney back.

The Bulwark seems to be about 4 to 1 anti-Trump articles to anti-liberal articles.

Was the Weekly Standard like that? (I only read the book reviews).

The Bulwark?

Not very high on my reading list.

I haven't finished An American Tragedy yet.

And what's up with this?

Is there a lawsuit coming?

i don;t know, that may be correct....PDJT hasn’t even really started to Drained the Swamp (his chief campaign promise, slogan)

but Romney threw that last election so thoroughly, so amazingly...sticking us with 4 more long years of Obammy/SorozNazi destruction ............I, for one, still can’t forgive him
