Romney says he laughs at term ‘America first’
The Hill ^ | 05/17/2024 | FILIP TIMOTIJA

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said he laughs at the term “America first,” an increasingly common phrase heard in the Republican Party regarding U.S. foreign policy that he finds “disorienting.”

Romney said during an interview with MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle” earlier this week that growing isolationism in the GOP is “unimaginable” considering its past leaders, like former Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, as well as former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

Romney argued the term, popularized by former President Trump, “flows” in from talk radio and TV, where “outrageous” things are embraced by the party’s base.

Sadly, once Trump is out of the picture, the establishment parties will be force-feeding American voters more Bushes, more McCains and more Romneys.

In a way Im glad that Romney lost in 2012, I know, we got stuck with Obama..but honestly I think there wouldn’t have been much difference between Obama and Romney they both have the same world view

I hope there are huge Cat Bullldozers lining up to tear his house in Utah and run him out of the state.

Really sad that he’s probably eligible for government pension and benefits.

My concern as well. I fear that Trump may be a one-shot deal and once he leaves the stage, we will return to the same old oily career politicians who only care about themselves and their cronies.

The tell will be Trump's VP pick. If he goes with an establishment politician (i.e. Rubio), my fear will be correct. If however he chooses boldly (i.e. Ramaswamy), then MAGA might have some legs going into 2028.

Romney really has to step off the public stage and back into the private sector. At least he did something productive there by rescuing distressed companies as the head of Bain Capital.

He threw the 2012 Election under orders after crunching the Trojan Horse in the

first debate.

Just as Reagan was a one-shot deal, and when Bush entered the White House, it was right back to “Business As Usual”.

If he didn’t play the R from behind a history of being a turncoat, he would have long ago been outed as one who sits in a mens room with “feet spread wide”. This guy is a cucks cuck.

Those damned voters are just too stupid to be allowed to decide elections.

America First does not equate to isolationism except in the minds of those who wish this country ill.

It means we take care of ours first and foremost. Then, we deal with the rest of the world.

Romney is a first class douche-bag POS.

I had to vote for this piece of garbage because I thought he couldn’t be as bad as Obama.

For me that was the final straw. I will never ever again let the GOP force-feed me a candidate I cannot stand and I know hates me but they tell me it's the only choice now, time to be an adult and focus on winning.

1) Neither Romney nor McCain actually were better than Obama. And 2) After watching the GOP for the last 8 years cry, moan, and refuse to support a candidate a DO like, they get my middle finger when they tell me I have no choice but to vote for their uniparty globalist hacks.
