Romney seems intent on sinking the GOP for good, just like he did with his own campaign. It is time to remind all these Trump-haters that their continued NeverTrump speech only helps Hillary...how stupid can you idiots be to not realize what you are doing. Have you forgotten how Ross Perot put Bill Clinton in the White House...what the hell is wrong with you idiots???????????????????
"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,
[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."

"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."

Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that the "real threat to the States is not the
constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate,
but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys. He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."

"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!
Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.

Mr. Romney "Disses" Amateur Radio In Televised Town Meeting
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Why would Romney have any interest in being VP?
That job is for guys like Biden.
Romney is seriously wealthy, he certainly doesn’t need the perks. And obviously there’s zero upside for him politically.
Say that ten times, fast!! 'tis true though. And it is also energizing nationalist sentiment in the public, against the trans-nationalists who are in control of the US federal government.
Ryan just busted for 200 Million bribed on TPP
The GOPe is the problem. They are bought and paid for by their corporate paymasters and special interests. They favor screwing the American worker and pleasing the Chamber of Commerce.
“trashed a good man (Cruz)”
He’s not a man, he’s a Senator.
It’s all part of the plan.
The Cheap Labor Express paid for an amnesty candidate to block the citizens from electing a President who would enforce the laws ad borders.
Since the RNC/GOP was unable to deliver, they must now sabotage the GOP ticket.
The mission is to make sure the laws and borders remain unenforced and the people pipeline continues operating.
I also feel that the way Trump and Cruz have been treated by the Republican establishment
how exactly was Cruz mistreated by establishment Republicans? They and their media shills did everything they could to get him nominated...
Ryan should be voted out of office for “playing games” right now...
I hope he is...Along with several other members of the UNIPARTY...
The politics in our country have become so utterly corrupted that it will take a strong will of we, the people, to clean it up even a little...
We have to start somewhere...Electing Trump and un-electing Ryan, Graham, McCain, among others is a good place to start...
H.W. Bush put Clinton into office.
Cruz, helper of ObamaTRADE, protector of open borders,
backstabber for the GOP establishment, is
the one who was sytematically
mistreating Mr. Trump, and Dr. Carson,
and the American People whose votes Cruz stole.
Cruz is GOP establishment.
Exactly...
I think Cruz shot his wad with Trump with his last comments on Tuesday...IMO, any chance of trump taking him for any position went out the window....
I would assume it would be to “rally” the Republicans in Congress to support the Globalist agenda without hesitation.
Shrug. Trump hasn’t seemed interested in holding grudges once someone is out of the way and/or on his side.
Though what position he could offer Cruz, I really don’t know.
For years, no decades, I heard people say there was no difference between the parties, that they played a game of being opposed to each other while they lined their pockets at our expense. I dismissed them as unengaged people trying to appear wiser than the rest of us.
Turns out they were right.
If you still believe we have a two-party system in this country, then you have a learning disability and should voluntarily disenfranchise yourself.
The mask is off.
GOPe is the symptom...uniparty
Repeal the 17th amendment.. Restore the Republic
Break the uniparty
Though what position he could offer Cruz, I really dont know...
Do we have an ambassador to Canada?
Mitt and all the other #NeverTrump people really do act as though they have something/s they’re very fearful Trump will expose or disrupt.
Coming from some of the biggest RINO’s in recent memory, the idea they’re trying to push that Trump isn’t “conservative” enough is absurd.
They need to accept the fact that the American people are staging a revolution at the ballot box and stop interfering.
Or they can get ready for the kind of revolution that oppressed people rise to when they’ve finally had enough.
Right now, they still have a choice. I hope they choose wisely.
Only pansies and RINOs will vote for this piece of recycled debris.
“Not to be a party pooper... but does anyone remember how Trump supporters trashed a good man (Cruz) to get their man in this position?”
And The Donald is not a “good man”?
Trashed Our Man Ted because, according to the Constitution, he can’t be POTUS because he’s not a NBC?
(Oh, I guess that part of “Constitutional Conservative” you let slide?)
Trashed him because Beck, Jebito, Miss Lindsey and Romney The Loser jumped the shark and supported him?
He couldn’t see that the GOPe was using him to block The Donald, only to toss him aside at the “Contested Convention” and plug in Romney/Ryan again?
(they filed paperwork in February 2016)
Cruz can have a long and effective career battling in the Senate, that is IF he gets re-elected. He has really pissed-the-pool a bit too often.
