Trump campaign manager hits back at Romney over op-ed slamming president's character
The Hill ^ | 01/01/19 | Morgan Gstalter

President Trump’s 2020 campaign manager on Tuesday fired back after Sen.-elect Mitt Romney (R-Utah) wrote a searing op-ed criticizing the president's character.

In a tweet, Trump's 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale invoked Romney’s failed 2012 presidential bid, accusing the incoming senator of lacking the ability "to save this nation."

“The truth is @MittRomney lacked the ability to save this nation. @realDonaldTrump has saved it,” Parscale wrote on Twitter. “Jealously is a drink best served warm and Romney just proved it. So sad, I wish everyone had the courage @realDonaldTrump had.”

Parscale’s reaction came shortly after Romney penned a Washington Post op-ed slamming Trump’s character and his time in office.

"With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable. And it is in this province where the incumbent’s shortfall has been most glaring," Romney wrote.

Romney, who was the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, spoke out against Trump during the 2016 election.

“It is well known that Donald Trump was not my choice for the Republican presidential nomination,” Romney wrote. “After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not. When he won the election, I hoped he would rise to the occasion.”

After two years in office, Romney wrote that Trump had not “risen to the mantle of the office.”

Romney’s remarks came two days before he will be sworn into Senate on Thursday.

“I do not intend to comment on every tweet or fault,” he wrote. “But I will speak out against significant statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions.”

Even though we had to put up with 4 more years of the Usurper, the good Lord knew what he was doing when he saved us from Romney.

It’s times like this that make having a Facebook account worthwhile. Every time an idiot like Mittens says something crappy about POTUS it comes back to bite them in the rear. Mittens is being excoriated on his Facebook. Of course you have to click on the comments because they always try to hide them. His first post is a picture of his family and he has 747 (at the moment) comments with what looks like 99% of the comments blasting his deep state butt. : )

Mitt is just another from the mold of McCain, Flake, Corker and other Never Trumpers.

Romney is just another Fauxahontis. Jumps into his religion and calls Utah the Sate of Residence to get elected.

Kinda reminds me of HRC too.

But he was the kind of man you could like even if he was your adversary."

Sure because the murderer was just a shiny huckster when compared to the other hucksters in DC.

Well Mitts is a symbol of why Mormons should not be in Government as if you look at history they have always been troublemakers.

And the reason is that Romney is owned lock stock and barrel by the donors, especially the “make-a-fortune-on-open-borders” Koch Brothers.

"Romney is the new McCain.... Hate that about him. He will become the new RINO spokesman."

No base, no center sphere of influence, and nothing but barriers to entry. IF Bishop Plutarch thinks he's new globalist water carrier boy is he going to be disappointed.

Folks, with all do respect, Mittens didn’t just step in it...they have a lot of power and they fear nothing...

Wake up!!!

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/01/02/strap-in-romney-didnt-wake-up-this-morning-and-haphazardly-write-an-op-ed-to-attack-the-president-of-his-own-political-party/

Can PDJT fire McDaniel or does he keep his enemies close?

There aren’t enough people who are not in the swamp to fill all the posts as PDJT’s advisors.

I am not pessimistic, just eyes are wide open. It is war.

As soon as that asshole was elected I knew it would start. That SOB has aspirations to run in 2020 and when he does I hope to be alive to vote for anyone but him.

Romney, along with the rest of the weak-kneed Republicans (GOPe), want Trump to be the squishy, malleable, spineless and COMPLAINT - so the media will “like” them.

F@(K the media and F@(K Romney and F@(K the spineless GOPe!

The media is a Democrat led Pravda PR program, so I do not give a damn about the media.

“I wonder what that disgusting factor would be...?”

Hmmm... let me guess. (Wasn’t Reid one of “them”, too? Although not GOP.)
