Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is the presidential candidate who is responsible for President Barack Obama unwilling to take on the President, or things like his ties to radical Rev. Jeremiah Wright and domestic terrorist Bill Ayres.
Obama, being from the Chicago school of politics, wasn't as polite. He exposed Romney as a "vulture capitalist" who made a fortune off of buying companies, laying-off employees, and selling the companies in pieces. By the end of the campaign, Romney's questionable business practices were known by every voter.
Now, Romney is attacking conservative businessman Donald J. Trump. Because Trump is self-funding his campaign, the GOP establishment and political class can't control him. And that makes Romney angry!
Romney's full speech was leaked, and included shameless and untrue attacks, such as:
Donald Trump says he admires Vladimir Putin, while has called George W Bush a liar. That is a twisted example of evil trumping good.
and
Here's what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.
His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president. And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill.
But in one tweet, Donald Trump's son Eric embarrassed Romney in a huge way. This says everything you need to know!
Eric shared a video of then-candidate Romney excited to be endorsed by Trump during the Presidential campaign. Romney knew his campaign was in trouble, and was aware that Trump represents the conservative base that wasnt excited to vote for Romney.
When things were tough for the Republican Party, Trump took time away from his business to campaign and fundraise for Mitt Romney. Hes a team player.
Now, Mitt Romney has shamelessly stabbed his fellow Republican in the back. In doing so, Romney reminded the conservative base exactly what he thinks of them.
What do you think about Mitt Romney's betrayal?
I wonder where all the Freeper Romney trolls are now? The ones who like to come out and blame Obama’s election on those who didn’t vote for this POS. I held my nose and voted for this traitorous ass, and the stink it left behind won’t wear off!
Romney is a ferocious political opponent as long as the opponent he is fighting is a Republican.
Treated the whole Romney thing with bemused contempt.
*************************************
“Bemused contempt” .... perfect description. There was a bit of a genuine chuckle/laugh from Trump at one point during those comments & my thought at the time was that Trump was spot on & hitting exactly the right note in dealing with Mitt’s backstabbing. Mitt was the one who diminished himself to a very very small stature while Trump rose above it all.
Why do you continue to spam threads with unrelated junk?
“How about posting the positive aspects of your preferred candidate for a change.” There aren’t any.
Let it sink in. Many of us were where they are now. Never again can the GOP-E make any pretense of having a right to our loyalty. As a bonus, we are getting a nice list of treason weasels.
First rule of politics, use the guy or gal that is electable. It has been the habit of the conservative party to split their votes among a whole lot of candidates for years. This, and the more than questionable use of the media, are the main two reasons the conservatives cut their own throats. And, to add insult to injury, they have allowed the media and the out and out lies of the liberals, to make them destroy themselves. Here we have a whole lot of people going after Trump, who is leading everyone in the conservative party by a mile, and a majority of them are conservative party members. Notice the investigation on Clinton, that has her dead to rights for perjury, and possible treason and espionage, has gone away. But they can complain to high heaven about Trump and his efforts to try to clean up our country’s financial mess from a number of directions, or anything else he says twisted, on the front page. One is a twenty year to life, the other is an opinion at this time.
Wake up conservative! You are foolishly doing the liberals’ job for them. Who’s side are you on, anyway?
That’s an excellent point. They tried making Rubio the lead attack dog and he won just 1 of 11 states. Romney is an attempt to fill the void left by all the other non trump candidates
that's a good point. Like "hey boys, step aside, we'll show you how the grownups do it".
They should have stayed out of it. Calmly say that he would not be their pick because of A, B and C but they will respect that perhaps the voters see something in Trump (or Cruz) that they do not.
The way they went at this thing shows them as hysterical at the thought of losing their cushy lifestyle and sleazy.
They are done. No matter what they have cut their own throat/
The idiot on Fox News after Trump’s speech only focusing on crap spouted by Rubio on Trump.
Many of us are wondering the same thing. Romney where was your energy in facing Obama? Or the nitwit Candy Crowley?
After today I wish I could take back my vote too. Romney’s picture should show up under the word Disgusting in the dictionary!
Couldn’t have said it any better!
Romney was a tough on fellow republicans like Newt. And Ryan was neutered in the debate with Biden, he looked like a child, and he knew Biden would act the way he did.
I’ve been long done listening to these people, or reading the worthless posts that slam Trump, that come out every morning by CW and the myriad of other Trump haters.
I’m done listening to Fox and Baird’s Casino.
Let’s see who takes New York. They we talk.
Trump is in Maine today, they two rallies in MI tomorrow, then one in NO. He everywhere.
He wants this badly, and he’s working hard to win. I like that in a candidate. Not the warm arthritic Romney.
what did Romeny build in his lifetime. How many did he employ.
He’s a loser. A born loser.
Well, Romney could beat McLame 1st.
