Many of those people were Mitt’s biggest water carriers. Is that a shock? Hell no.
And we wonder why we keep going further and further left every 2 years. Because of people like this claiming to be ‘conservative’ when their choices and statements prove conclusively they are not.
The common denominator there is that talk is cheap, and only fools fall for cheap talk. Donald Trump says some things that sound good - border fence, etc. Mitt Romney said some great things on the campaign trail too - e.g. how we've allowed the social safety net to become a hammock, how we can deny social services to illegals so they would "self-deport." Did Mitt mean a word of it? No, because his own statements and actions a few years earlier contradicted the born-again conservatism on the campaign trail. The same is true with Trump and other phony blowhards.
