Mittens: GOP Establishment Chooses Mount Romney as Hill to Die on
Breitbart ^ | March 3, 2016 | Stephen K. Bannon and Rebecca Mansour

Posted on 03/03/2016 8:10:39 AM PST by C19fan

After President Jeb, President Walker, President Christie, President Kasich, President Ryan, and President Rubio, the Republican establishment is now turning once again to the Adlai Stevenson of the GOP – Willard Mitt Romney.

Perhaps nothing is more symptomatic of the GOP establishment’s death drive than their continued embrace of the presidential aspirations of a man who shrank the party in 2012.

But then, these are the same Republican elites who are determined to grant amnesty to 40 million future Democrats. So, obviously party expansion and broad national victories are not their priorities. How else do you explain their bizarre desire to board the S.S. Mittanic one more time?

Money quote:

But the real business of Bain was private equity. They made a killing for their shareholders by buying out American companies, loading them with debt, bankrupting them, shuttering their factories, and shipping those jobs overseas. Unfortunately for the GOP establishment, the American electorate isn’t comprised of libertarian think tank pencil necks who worship at the Church of Ayn Rand.

Trump is a real American entrepreneur. He builds actual stuff which is more than I can say about Romney who built zilch. Romney made money by financial engineering.

Mitt Romney- “Donald Trump has shown an extraordinary ability to understand how our economy works and to create jobs, he has done it in Nevada and across the country. He is one of the few people who stood up and said China has taken jobs from Americans. We believe in free trade but we have to have a President to stand up and not allow people to cheat day in and day out.”

Mitt Romney 4 years ago

Milt Romney.

The man who ran for president for 6 years through two cycles and still couldn’t close the deal.

Now all of a sudden he thinks he’s a kingmaker.

Loser.

Somebody somewhere has gone to a lot of trouble convincing this cadaver that he actually might get a second bite at the apple.

Personally, I believe that is cruelty to animals, idiots or whatever category he fits in. Maybe blustering cowards that only fight those on their own side instead of Democrats - I don’t know. I know that as far as I’m concerned there is a grave marker already set and his political career is done and buried.

Romeny’s delusion that he matters to the base is the problem for the whole GOPe.

Why is the establishment picking a multi-year “loser” (to a lousy opponent whom he chose NOT to “fight”) while opposing hysterically and viciously a “winner” who is attracting some parts of the other side?

Makes no sense. None at all.
(Maybe that’s why this is coming from inside the Beltway.)

Can’t imagine what Romney was promised to make such a fool of himself. Whatever it was, it was enough!

This is so funny! The GOP are soiling themselves publicly by wheeling out mild-mannered milquetoast Mittens to deliver their paid-hack hit piece. America has already rejected this remarkably dismissable hasn't-been twerp twice!

GO TRUMP!

That’s a nice mittens quote for Trump. All that Trump has to say is “Four years ago I paid Mittens to say theses nice things about me. I expect that somebody else is paying him now to say the exact opposite things. Mitt is a loser and so are those who are trotting him out like a wooden ventriloquist doll.”

Time to take Boo-Romney gently by the hand and take him home.

It goes to show you just how pitiful the slate of “GOPe approved” acceptable candidates is today. They have lied and cheated us for every waking minute of their recent reigns and all they can come up with now is this? Good luck with that, guys, you deserve every piece of shite that gets thrown at you and more.

This shows you how utterly clueless, how amazingly obtuse the Establishment is. Americans took a peek at Romney, and tossed him in the ash can. If they were smart, they would HIDE him.

Wrong historical analogy...Mitt's folly will have the same result of Custer at Little Big Horn.

Or if you prefer, Santa Anna at San Jacinto.
