Mitt Romney Says He May Vote For His Wife Instead Of Donald Trump
huffingtonpost ^

Posted on 06/30/2016 7:13:47 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Mitt Romney still can’t see himself voting for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. However, he can’t bring himself to vote for the Democratic counterpart, Hillary Clinton, either.

But the 2012 GOP nominee has a solution: putting his own wife’s name on the ballot.

“It’s a matter of personal conscience,” Romney told CBS News’ John Dickerson Wednesday at the Aspen Ideas Festival. “I can’t vote for either of those two people.”

Romney explained that he simply cannot get behind Trump’s divisive character.

“Our nominee is saying, ‘Hey look it’s these people here. It’s these Mexicans coming across the border... it’s them, and it’s Muslims,” he said. “And unfortunately, I’m afraid that the things Mr. Trump has said have been unfortunately branding of our party in a negative way.”

He expressed his opposition to Clinton in less dramatic terms. “Hillary Clinton is wrong on every issue, but she’s wrong within the normal parameters,” Romney said.

Ann Romney, however, would be “an ideal president,” he added.

In 2012, late in the campaign, I flew from California to Florida to help the Romney effort (California being a hopeless cause). I did this on my dime because I knew we couldn't allow Obama a second term. Specifically, I helped work the busiest Romney phone center in the entire nation.

I now consider that trip the biggest regret and waste of time in my life!!

Ingrate!

In 2012 Romney was on his knees begging for Trump’s support.

Listen Jackwagon! My cousin AND her husband were both
killed several years ago by a drunk illegal when he
crashed into their car. They had small children & were
solid, hard working, churchgoing citizens. - And these
dam*ed Jihadists killing American citizens right and left
aren’t on my list of “desirables” either as they
evidently are on YOUR list of “potential citizens”.

Oh yeah; and just what alternate universe are you living
in, Romney, where you have the “notion” that Hitler-y
Clinton is wrong within “normal parameters”?

TRUMP recommended a MORATORIUM on this glutty influx of
thousands of Muslims UNTIL we could pause and take stock
of just WHAT IN BLAZES is going on in Immigration.

The #NeverTrumpers are getting increasingly unhinged with each day, and Romney is the worst of the entire lot.

In 2012, I reluctantly voted for Romney because I thought that even though he'd be a terrible President, he'd still be a cut above Obama. Watching him lately, I don't even believe that much is true, he's more or less cut from the same cloth.

Well Mitt; if you DON'T vote for the Donald, that means you REALLY want Hillary to win!


I (and many others) received the above sentiments when I refused to vote for the deceived (or deceiving) Mormon Romney 4 year ago.

If you take the Republican Party Boy/Girl is our god line that has been used on conservatives since 1988, he is voting for Hillary by not voting for Trump. Conservatives have argued it was not. Until 2016 the beloved Party pukes have argued the former rather than the later with snide contempt.

So Romulus, Will, Kristol, Lee, Ryan, McConnell,etc... which is it? And realize your answer and actions are going to kill your beloved god, the Party.

Go for it Mitt... then shut up for a while.

None of us give a damn who you vote for or don't vote for - - well, except for liberals in the press.

The press cares: You express the hatred they're not allowed to openly express. See, you're useful to someone Mitt.

And those members of the press who fawn over your every bitter word? They'll turn their collective backs on you as soon as you quit bashing Republicans Mitt. Did you know that? Enjoy your hate ride Mitt Romney - they'll be dumping you soon.

Ah...

The Press.

I'm sure that Trump has seen the movie about Tucker.


"People believe what they read in the papers" may have worked when papers WERE the primary way of getting information; but it will NOT work in THIS day and age!!



Will it??
