Plus after George Romney lost the nomination to Barry Goldwater at the Republican convention 800-40, he stormed out of the convention, young Mitt in tow and worked with the Democrats against Goldwater and helped Johnson win the election...

George Romney didn't run in 1964. Gerald Ford entered his name in nomination because he didn't want to support any of the real candidates.

Romney didn't support Goldwater and he was vocal about that, but I haven't seen any evidence that he "stormed out of the convention, young Mitt in tow and worked with the Democrats."

Mitt was groomed by George to be president and this was part of his early training...hatred of the conservatives in the Party...

That looks like more hyperbole. Mitt went into business. He would have taken a different path in life if his family had made him go into politics. George supported and advised Mitt when he ran for Senator, but where's your evidence that he was "groomed" early on and that hatred was "part of his early training"?

Mitt acts and speaks against conservatives much like George did in the 1960s...

It looks like some conservatives have it in for Mitt a lot more than he has it in for them. Romney follows his own path but I haven't seen any evidence that he refused to support Republican candidates in their races against Democrats.

I have real doubts about Mitt, but all this animosity isn't good for the party.

George Romney didn’t run in 1964.
__________________________________________

I didnt say he did up front...

His name was included in the running for the nomination on the convention floor...

and he didnt take his name of the ballot...

When he only got 40 votes he stormed out of the convention threatening revenge on Goldwater and his best friend Ronald Reagan...

George Romney went on to fight against Goldwater and split the party and to aid Johnson and encouraged other Republicans to do the same ...

One thing the racist George Romney did to stop the support for Goldwater was to slander goldwater as someone against the Civil rights Act...

Romney was lying but the accusation stuck at a time when the Republicans did not want to be seen as a party of exclusion...

Goldwater lost a lot of financial and political support that he could have had and won the POTUS with...

Later Ronald Reagan was interviewed about the loss to Johnson...

The conservative Reagan said that the moderates in the party, Romney and his friends, were detrimental to the Republican Party...

Reagan placed the blame right where it belonged...at George Romney’s door...

The Romneys dont care about the conservatives or the republican Party...

George Romneys own political resume is own of playing the Democrats against the Republicans...

He had both sides supporting him for Gov of MI and when they asked him which party he was running for he was mad as a hornet...

He begrudgingly picked the republicans but never forgave them for making him choose a side...

He thought he was entitled to rule over both parties in MI...

Entitlement and the Romney family go together...

Lenore Romney blantantly ran for the US Senate from MI on a Pro-abortion platform for 1970 FOUR years before abortion was legal in the US (Roe V Wade)

Mitt Romney has boasted that he was proud of his mother running with a pro-abortion platform...

When abortion was ILLEGAL ???

so much for Romney claiming to and/or having to “sustain” uphold the abortion laws ...

The Romneys are bad news for America...
