Horrified by Trump, Democrats getting nostalgic about Romney

When President Barack Obama ran for re-election, Democrats made no secret of their disdain for Mitt Romney. That was all before Donald Trump.

Horrified by the prospect of Trump in the White House, Obama and his party have changed their tune about Romney. As they denounce Trump as “unhinged” and unfit, they’re getting nostalgic about the 2012 Republican nominee they now describe as principled, competent and honorable.

It’s a sharp reversal from four years ago. Back then, Democrats spent hundreds of millions of dollars portraying the former Massachusetts governor as a callous, unpatriotic, pet-abusing caricature of the über-rich. …

The only thing horrible is the corruption in both parties today. We need a huge broom to sweep the garbage out! TRUMP 2016!

As far as I know God never picked a perfect man (in people’s mind) to run things for him. I mean, Moses was a murderer, David was an adulterer, etc.. Today’s Christians have to get off their self-righteous high horses. They think they know more than God. I do believe TRUMP is God’s will and who can say he isn’t?

All human leaders are God’s will. This is elaborated on in Daniel 4:17 and Romans 13:1-9.

The Democrats always want to choose our candidates and tell us how to campaign. That is how we ended up with losers McCain and Romney. This time, we aren’t letting the Democrats (or their GOPe buddies) tell us what to do.

Yep. Democrats (especially white ones) know they would be better off today had Mitt won.

Of COURSE they are!

They could kick the snot out of Romney all day, every day, year after year, knowing he would NEVER hit back.

Still engaged in an intense search for a lamppost that would be capable of holding Ms. Crowley.

How could the left hate him ? He’s one of them. He got their agenda through and helped stop any Conservative opposition to Zero in 2008 and 2012.

“Liberals hated Mitt and now they decide they love him!”

Actually they always loved Mitt but didn’t realize it. Once the curtain was pulled back and it showed neo-cons and liberals in bed together, it all made sense.

Can’t wait until my next dinner with my lib friends who called it Faux News. Now I can tell them that now they know why Faux News has more liberal viewers than the rest of the media combined. Those viewers were already enlightened.

If they are so fond of him we should encourage all Democrats to write his name in.

Funny how that works. They always come around and love the Republicans they’ve beaten.

Everybody loved Bob Dole after he lost to Clinton.
