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.
Cutter said that in 2012 Democrats had ideological clashes with Romney, but didn't doubt his temperament or basic competence. She said unlike Trump, Romney didn't "insult his way through his campaigning," malign minorities, or threaten to violate the Constitution or to abandon U.S. allies.

Assuming Shillery loses, I will hold nostalgic how bad it could have become. I will teach my children and remind my grandkids how close we got to complete failure of American prosperity. I predict the Trump wall will one day be a national monument to the will, against all odds, of WTP.
I am the tea party. My kids are its future.
Trump hinted to it today. Liberals, like all opponents of freedom, must be ejected from public office and appointments. They must be eternally shamed from our politics. He said (paraphrased): “Those responsible for these decades of failures should not be allowed to even run for political office.”
I do not see any way to accomplish that without some reform of political press. Media enables the anti freedom forces and suppresses opposition in abandonment of the truth. We somehow must provide for an avenue within media for truth to be given a voice. The Truth Channel. Honesty in the political process must be central. Accept no more lies.
If Shillery prevails, I won’t need to remind anyone of how bad it can be; only nostalgia will remind any of us of how great it once was.
End of rant ;) Go Trump!
Romney was a decent guy, but clearly designated to lose. I knew he was a mistake before he ever got any votes in 2008 and especially 2012.
The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterdaybut never jam to-day.It must come sometimes to jam to-day, Alice objected.
No, it cant, said the Queen.
Its jam every other day: to-day isnt any other day, you know - Lewis Carroll
Not only that, but it looks like Hillary is dying.
Look at her hobbling, doddering and staggering as if she's escaped from a hospice:
Seriously, how long can she last? She looks simply awful and she' strying to look her best in public. In the clip above her handlers swat her hand away from her face and quickly steer her away from the camera to a waiting limo - it looks like she can barely make it across the street.
People are standing by with epi-pens, inhalators and strong arms to catch her and lead her to safety.
They must be eternally shamed from our politics

Rubio and Ryan have earned political shunning.
What the hell are the snowflakes “horrified” about? I thought Clintoon had a triple digit lead.
I don’t trust any of them. Ever. Period.
Really? born in ‘68.
dont know enough about nixon to know what to think of him.
seems a little neocon with the opening of china etc.
i could be very wrong
There are so many variables and my attention span is so short that i just ignore them all now, except that Times daybreak poll and ICU or ICO? whatever it’s called is good but it was off by 3 in 2012. but everyone got caught off guard by the youth turnout
That ain’t happening this time, the youth turnout.
First bernie got screwed, then he accepted a payoff.
kids are very disaffected.
Mittens should go whimper under a rock or officially join the Clinton Campaign for the record.
Exactly. And that was to JEBs role: Designated loser. Unfortunately, the Republican herd got out of the corral and refused to follow him down the chute. Instead they took off with a wild stallion that came from outside the feed lot. The Democrats should have had such luck.
If you note I described Nixon in a very GOPe manner
You are young
The republicans in the sixties were against the Vietnam nam war
Nostalgic about a guy who let ‘em spew out lies and not fight back...yeah, that sure sounds like Demon Rats.
I agree with you about McInsane. I think Romney wanted to win, but was too invested in his technology and his positions—which were clearly better than Hussein’s.
Of course, he never got into the rough and tumble. That is what Trump does and is what will help him win if he does indeed prevail.
