This is the craziest presidential election Ive ever seen. Voters on both sides of the aisle are rebelling against their party establishment. Donald Trump who has never before run for office is the presumptive GOP nominee. And Bernie Sanders, a 74-year old Socialist, continues to give Hillary a run for her money, generating 100% of the enthusiasm on the Democrat side.
Theres something else brand new about this election the role of last elections loser.
I thought the role of a Presidential election loser that doesnt hold any other elective office is to slither away into hiding somewhere and grow a beard; maybe resurface in ten years on some talk show touting his new book on farming. But Mitt Romney seems to think loser is a high status position.
He keeps inserting himself into the politics of this election. After losing a winnable 2012 election to Barack Obama, Romney appointed himself elder statesman of the party establishment this past March. When Trump scored impressive victories on Super Tuesday and became the favorite to win the nomination, Mitt took to the airwaves to excoriate Trump. He also lectured voters on how they were getting it wrong and then provided instructions on how they should vote going forward.
It didnt work. It was in essence his second failed campaign in less than four years. One can only wonder why the voters didnt follow Mitts judgment. Maybe its because that same judgment is largely responsible for the fact that the country is much farther down the road of secular, socialist, welfare-state stagnation than it was four years ago. Or maybe its just because hes boring.

True. But in hindsight, 4 years of Trump will be worth 16 years of a RINO in office, maybe more. It probably will work out for the best.
I voted Republican in 2012 - but I didn't check to see who the Republican presidential candidate was...
Romney, the perfect con artist. Dress him up, put a gleam in his smile, and he’s still a used car salesman.
I got so tired of the pompous creeps here who blamed us for not voting for Romney, when we all voted for the jerk.
That was what I planned on doing, but weakened when faced with 4 more years of Kenyanesian Usurpation.
I held my nose after 2 stiff shots.
Wish I hadn’t.
Romney's EGO is HUGE. That Newt could end up as the possible VP has Romney going scorched earth on Trump. Romney stacked the audience against Newt. Newt graciously took his loss against Romney and supported Romney in the general.
Donald Trump supported Romney per his request in the primary and then the general. Remember, Newt is a public servant. That is why he and so many are disgusted that Romney and the Bushes and apparently tone deaf Paul Ryan are so thin skinned and egoistical to think they should be treated as American Royalty.
Many have bladed the Bushes and Romney and soon to be Ryan to thinking they are better than our country's great heritage of putting America first. Instead, they are just making themselves looking like elitists who think they OWN the Republican party and that they are better than the actual base. Romney needs to be shunned when he goes out in public and on any program. Romney and the Bushes need to know they are living on an island and We the People have spoken and We Choose Trump. Their prideful arrogance that they think they are better than us is disgusting. Paul Ryan is disgusting and listing to the wrong people Ryan will never win even in 2020. He's shown his true colors. The Bush family including Jebs son will never win on a national level because they've shown themselves as elites, thinking they are better than we are. Glenn Beck and Mark Levin have jumped the shark and have shown they think they are better and smarter than than We the People. They are wrong. Just like Romney is wrong. Who does he think he is?
Maybe Mitt can give another speech at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser if he switches sides...
Mitt - the quisling...
The 2012 GOP nominee publicly endorsing the 2016 democrat nominee would not be a positive development.
Yep - and sorry as he would have been, we'd be a lot better off.....Ironic how a real POS can be the best option available at a certain time - speaks volumes of how screwed up and apathetic the People have become.
