Milbank: Trump will lose, or I will eat this column
The Salt Lake Tribune ^ | October 4, 2015 | Dana Milbank, The Washington Post

I never expected to write these words, but I miss Mitt Romney.

Last Wednesday, the day the front-runner for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination was in New Hampshire alleging that Syrian refugees fleeing for their lives may actually be clandestine terrorists, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee was in Washington, talking sense.

"Donald Trump will not be the nominee," Romney told a group of business-school students at Georgetown University. And why won't Trump, who when he isn't besmirching Syrian refugees as terrorists is maligning Mexican immigrants as rapists, get the nod? Because, Romney said, "when all is said and done, the American people usually do the right thing."

The Washington Post's Philip Rucker recorded Romney's categorical prediction, and his rationale. "I know there's some skunks in any endeavor — business, politics — and they get most of the visibility, but there are also some really good people," Romney said. "The American people are a very good people and by and large find people of similar character to elect to the highest office in the land."(continued)

“I never expected to write these words, but I miss Mitt Romney.”

Stopped there. Bishop Willard is a genocidal fraud.

“Dana Milbank is a male AFAIK.”

Not much of one.

Apparently, he’s in the loop as to what polling-place cheating is being planned.

every conservative for their Obama and Soros.

I cannot in my lifetime remember a man being so vilified in the media.

It's because he upsets the apple cart/status quo of EVERYTHING the establishment has worked so hard, for so long, for.

It's the most confounding thing to see folks HERE not see that.

Prayers up for Donald Trump and his family, always.

“...won’t be the day America murders democracy...”


I would love to see the Left’s concept that America is a democracy murder itself. We are also not global property nor territory ruled by the UN, foreign government and foreigners indviduals.

We are a constitutional Republic. We have a defined territory. It’s illegal for our leaders to allow foreigners to rule over us because we did not elect them.

Most of our problems stem from the three branches of government and the States refusing to respect and obey that fact that we are a constitutional Republic. Their power is limited and our rights are not up to their whim. Die leftist ideal of Democracy and foreign rule.
