I regret that I didn’t clampdown harder on the NeverRomney crowd after he won the nomination. NeverRomney gave us a second term for Obama. Big mistake. NeverTrump will give us a third term for the Clinton crime family and a continuation of Obama’s anti-America policies. No thanks. Not making that mistake again. Those who can’t live with that can post elsewhere.
You should consider hammering this point often and hard when people come to say and say "But Trump is....". It will help other Freepers see your observations and motivations are equally heartfelt and logical.
When people are open to repentance, admit their mistakes and stand firm on hard earned lessons, it makes the medicine they're serving up much easier to swallow than simply saying "Suck it up" or "Deal with it."
Have a restful weekend, Jim.
I was neverRomney until after Benghazi when I came to believe that not even Romney could be worse than allowing our own Seals to be murdered. Nonetheless, Romney lived down to my expectation and began his rope-a-dope...not remembering that Mohammed Ali finally came out swinging.
I supported Virgil Goode for most of that time, the Constitution Party candidate, and I promoted him against Romney for the most part.
I deeply respect Free Republic. I did then, too. But, do you remember the RomneyTruthFile? He really was ‘in your face’ toward conservatives.
I wouldn’t blame me or you or anyone on Free Republic.
Romney was a bad general with a lousy battle plan and an unwillingness to fight....his enemies. He spent most of his time destroying his friends.
To be honest with you, Trump has NOT attacked the supporters of other candidates he has vanquished. He’s tried hard to bring them into the fold.
So, I don’t think you should accept any of the blame for Romney’s terrible leadership. Nor should you apologize for allowing Free Republic to FAIRLY debate the issues.
I think ROMNEY lost Romney’s race, and not those of us who were trying to steer him in the right direction.
