When asked about Republicans’ criticism of his occasional anti-Trump stances, Mitt Romney doesn’t miss a beat: “I have to show you something.”
He grabs his iPad and pulls up an article: “Romney: why the Republican pros distrust him.” It’s a 1964 Look Magazine profile about his father George, a former moderate governor of Michigan, which claims that “party people are troubled by what he says.

The difference between Trump and Romney? Trump will get my vote again.

Comey presents himself as the voice of reason, but comes out looking like a sniveling, angry man who lost to someone he dislikes.

The only thing I remember about his father was that someone, possibly LBJ, described him as having a brain of mush.

But he will capitalize running as a Republican or conservative. This is what bothers me about politicians. They almost come across as fake. I say almost because I don't want to accuse all of them in that manner. I hold the Republican National Party responsible for some of it. If you don't have Republican defined, anyone can run as one. Mitt Romney wants you to believe that he is conservative but when it gets right down to the vote, he just can't do it.

People like Mitt and McCain want to play politics as a game that is rigged against them. Ultimately, they play and eventually they lose...and that's ok. They ate nonplussed to understand why we like WINNING?

Mitt is irrelevant, so whether he has strategy, or what that strategy might be, is meaningless.

So, he wants to be just like his daddy. He reminds me of my husband's brother. He votes for democrats because that's what his daddy did (and yes, that's how he refers to him). He doesn't give a damn that the 'rat party is not the same party his father, who died in 1965 voted for.

There is no strategy only pettiness, just like McCain, a phony who puts forward a good face but is a back stabbing jerk. If it weren't for McCain we would have gotten rid of Obamacare and been able to replace it. As it is I am sure this nitwit would vote that same way. I really have come to feel not much more than total disgust for this man that I actually voted for.

And this is why Family Political Dynasties have to end. Romney is an acolyte of Bush's Compassionate Conservatism, which by it's acts proves it is neither.
I consider myself a Conservative, and all I want from Government is to be left alone.

Romney was a hard sell when he ran against Obama. He hasn’t improved. Not an opinion-maker or -swayer, I’d say. Just a fading old man.

So basically, the old school republicans didn't trust senior Romney either? Apparently the apple didn't fall far from the tree then did it? I guess the name Romney is coming to mean everything you want in a sleazy and corrupt liar, which only benefits the swamp he has joined.

I'm just old enough to remember the senior Mr. Romney. My conservative parents despised him and considered him a fake Republican.

A horse manure puff piece about a bitter man. If he had shown a pair, he would have become president instead of the Kenyan.
