WOLFEBORO, New Hampshire (CNN) —Mitt Romney said Saturday that Donald Trump's comments on Mexico and undocumented immigrants have hurt the Republican Party, making the 2012 presidential nominee the latest Republican to slam the billionaire over his controversial remarks.

Curse you auto collect!

LOL! "I'm sorry Dave. I don't like what you're writing."

Mitt's opinion Trumps Trump.

He is important enough to tell other people to shut up in the land of what used to be the free.

So much for the land of the brave...

I understand where you are coming from, and I find much to agree with. At the end of the day, this is what my response was to another poster.

Trump is just not quite as nuanced as Romney is

Well DUH- thats’ the intention- to expose the rinos I nthe GOP as left leaning traitors who have betrayed the REPULICAN party

Thanks fer playin Romney!

Trump has called out the coaches of the "JV team" ... telling the truth in his usual non-politic way...HONESTLY. Romney is far and away the lessor boardroom pugilist, albeit just as successful in business as Trump. The only other purveyor of truth that comes to mind this instant is Col Ralph Peters....his delivery is softer than Trumps, but both men are warning America she is about to fall and both men are trying to put the brakes on the Obama tsunami of Communism the Jarrett way....the Politically Correct reporters, editors, pundits are refusing to stand up and act like honest men and women.

You vote for evil, you get it. Doesn’t matter whose name is on it. Thats a simple fact. Evil is evil. Lesser or greater. Calling a guy that funds abortion personally, created the first legal gay marriage in America, taxed his people to death, is a gun grabber etc some viable option when you are trying to stop liberals from more abortion, gun grabbing, gay everything and hypertaxation is pure idiocy.

All the above isn’t arguable. If anyone wants to try, be my guest. It doesn’t change reality.

Having Thad Cochran win in Mississippi? That’s one I’d rather the Dems win.

Good example!

The one I think about is Boehner. As long as it looked liked the Repubs would still have a majority in the House, I'd vote for the Democrat if I lived in Boehner's district, simply to get him out of the Speakership. But if looked like the Dems could take the House, then I'd vote for Boehner.

Same goes for Mitch McConnell.

[Norm Lenhart]

And may many follow your example.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Agree with all of that.

I don't think this public get-it-out-in-the-open fight for the Republican Party is hurting us at all. It's exposing those who don't really care about constitutional conservative vales, those to whom we are voting fodder.

Look what's happened already. Rubio and Jeb are sinking. Cruz is regaining his strong voice. There's no oxygen left in the room for candidates who can't keep up with Trump and Cruz. US voters are enjoying the political mayham. Where's the downside?

[C. Edmund Wright]

you make no sense....as usual........no difference between less or more? What kind of obtuse idiot are you?

Don’t answer. This is over your head.

[Norm Lenhart]

Four really big boobs.

[kenmcg]

Only gutless, spineless RINOs, shudder when the Donald speaks. Truth is Trump, Cruz and Walker are the best available to be POTUS.

Wouldn’t you say Bush was better than Obama?

I would. So where did his terms ultimately lead us?

Was the outcome something you voted for?

I’m tired of enabling lackluster performances so bad they usher in the worst leader imaginable.

My vote for Bush the second time around essentially turned into an endorsement for anyone but a member of the Republican party.

[stanne]

sure. There’s another school of thought, though. BO has a lot of supporters. They want him in there.

What would things look like now? Really.

You think the supreme court would have come up with something different last week?

You think immigration laws would be enforced?

You think BO’s supporters would love Romney now? Or they would hate him worse than they did Bush? You think they wouldn’t be clamoring for Hillary Now?

Yes, I voted for Romney. It wasn’t a mistake. He would have been different from Obama. What would things look like now, facing a certain 8 years of Hilary?

thats right but the blonde lady anchor did not let that get by....she was quite good

[Norm Lenhart]

Not my fault you cant read. You aren’t too swift on politics either.

[C. Edmund Wright]

your post 78 is very well put......

And it’s funny - in a sad way - I am working on an article with the working title “The Lie that Must Be Corrected” - which is that conservatism and the free market is what caused the econ crash of 08. Bush still gets blamed for that - almost the exact same percentage who voted for Obama, and the Republicans will NEVER eVER win the WH again til it’s corrected IMO.

Its really the entire theme of my book, frankly...

[C. Edmund Wright]

Yes, the Bush terms did lead to the Clinton and Obama administrations.

But the Bush terms were not as destructive as either.

This problem needs to be nipped in the bud in the primary season...and I think Jeb and Christie and all of the moderates are going to get nipped this time.
