In some ways yes he dose but that wasn’t what I was getting at. The VOTERS are pulling a Romney scenario again. The PEOPLE are sticking their heads in the sand once again because some spoke pretty words they wanted to hear.
I would take Trump over Mitt pretty readily. But thats like asking my preference for AIDS or another serious disease. Personally I’d rather not have either.
Romney’s record was possted for like 6 years on FR’s front page. Few read it. Every day the no matter what idiots would say things that merely reading in that record would prove false. I know this to be true as I was one of the people arguing that very thing and unfortunately still have to. But they did not WANT to know the truth. They wanted what they projected onto Mitt Romney. Things that as Reagan said, ‘Were just not so’. Things that a mere 18 HOURS after his loss he proved were not so.
Today those very same people are the ones doing the very same fantasy routine with Trump. They are projecting their desires onto him as if he were Barry at the Pillars of Styro.
Trump is who he is. Some of it is great, some of it is hard left. And actual conservatives would or SHOULD be interested in finding out which is which for themselves, not pretending he is something other than what their desires want him to be.
Norm, the idea that Romney had as much support here in July of 2011, as Trump does in July of 2015 is a NO SALE with me.
At no time in the 2012 election cycle did a large contingent of people here hawk Romney as the go-to guy.
Those that did were reminded of RomneyCare, which was an absolute deal killer for 90% of the forum.
The only reason Trump is getting traction, is because he moved our direction. We aren’t moving his direction.
