Mitt Romney — the Most Dangerous Republican

Posted on by

Mitt Romney unloaded on the presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, the other day in a manner which savages the chances of the Republicans winning the White House.

Not content with having lost the 2012 election, he is now trying to duplicate that feat in 2016.

Let’s honest here — every utterance that Mitt made could have come from the tongue of Hillary Clinton. No?

Who is this Mitt Romney anyway and why is he so angry?

Mitt Romney, like father, like son

Mitt Romney is the privileged son of an enormously wealthy auto executive, Michigan Governor, failed Presidential candidate — making the family legacy one of father-son failed Presidential candidacies. A very awesome and unique  family credential, no?

Mitt, famously, was a Viet Nam era draft dodger who went to Stanford with a student deferment and then sat out the war in France for 3 1/2 years  whereat he was supposedly doing missionary work for the Morman Church something not available to poor Catholic boys. When he finally came back, he had #300 in the draft lottery. Mitt was a coward. Deal with it.

Mitt Romney, GOPe elitist

Mitt sought and won the Republican nomination enduring the same process with which Trump is pursuing the same brass ring. It was OK for Mitt to garner the votes within the process but somehow when Donald Trump does it, Donald is bad.

Mitt Romney is the GOPe. One more time — Mitt Romney is the Republican Establishment with a better haircut than most.

Rich. White. Old. Irrellevant.

He is the full-throated roaring voice of the Republican establishment with a nail in its paw. That nail? One Donald Trump.

Mitt belongs to the right clubs and rubs shoulders with the same GOPe who today have lost control of the Republican base who are wintering over with Donald Trump at Valley Forge, soon to be renamed Valley Trump.

Mitt, during his run for second place in 2012, famously sought and received the endorsement of one Donald  Trump kissing his hindquarters so vigorously that he had to reapply his lipstick several times during the process.

Almost everything he decries today about Trump, he praised in 2012 when he needed Trump’s endorsement and money. Mitt Romney is a hypocrite of historic proportions.

Mitt the candidate

Mitt won the Republican nomination and went on to be embarrassed by President Obama who bitch smacked the GOPe candidate like a rented mule.

Mitt let the President and a debate moderator slap him around when he was actually right. Like the draft dodger he had been, he was devoid of fight and handed the President the coffin nails he used to entomb him.

Saving grace — Mitt came in second, no?

His “high tech” GOTV (get out the vote) operation cratered three days before the election. You can’t run the country if you can’t run a campaign.

Just like Hillary should not be entrusted with the nuclear codes when she cannot figure out email. No?

Mitt had his chance. He blew it and his loss sentenced us to an additional four years of President Obama — Worst. President. Ever. — so spare me if I don’t listen too hard to a guy who got his ass kicked as badly as Romney did last time around.

Want advice on how to lose? Mitt’s your boy. He’s got that one down tight.

Disruption

News flash to the GOPe — “Leaving on track 8 is the Republican base, an assortment of independents, and a few cross over Democrats. Conductor is one Donald Trump. See y’all at the convention at Quicken Loans Convention Center in Cleveland in late July. Bon voyage!”

The base has left the GOPe which should not come as any surprise to some guys who picked, dressed, backed, funded, re-funded Jeb Bush.

Even George HW Bush, George W Bush, Barbara Bush — could not get Jeb up to double digits in anything. Anything. [Note that Laura, the smart one, did not take the bait.]

Early on, Donald Trump brilliantly put the “low energy” moniker and a bullseye on Jeb and then whipped him like a red headed stepchild with a lisp. Sorry, the GOPe’s frat boy didn’t get out of his Oshkosh by Gosh overalls.

Donald Trump did this.

Romney’s irrelevance

Mitt Romney didn’t have the gumption to run a second race for President. Run twice, win once. Good enough for Ronald Reagan but too steep a hill to climb for Mitt Romney.

He didn’t get in before Trump began to win ……………………….. EVERYTHING.

He is pissing on Trump’s parade but he doesn’t have the cojones to pick a better alternative candidate which leads one to think that he fancies himself the knight on the white charger riding to the rescue of the befuddled Republicans at the convention. Good luck with that, Mitt.

He is a hypocrite of stupendous proportion. Embarassingly so.

He is too little, too late, who missed HIS chance.

He is the disrupted GOPe screaming its outrage at the “little people” daring to make up their own minds.

Bottom line

Mitt Romney, having lost the White House for the Republicans in 2012, is now trying to duplicate that performance in 2016.

He is the most dangerous Republican member of the GOPe.

Mitt, you had your chance. You blew it. Get back into the stands and clap politely while Donald Trump runs the field.

If you can’t get behind Donald Trump for President, then get behind Melania for First Lady. Your choice.

But, hey, what do I really know anyway? I’m just a Big Red Car. Be kind to yourself.

  1. Hillary and Deval Patrick the dem ticket.
    After one year the scandals become to much and she steps down claiming health issues. Still Frist woman president and gets to play the victim card for the remainder of her years
    Deval is now again a African American Pres.
    Serves out her term and two more
    All brought to you by Trump Vodka! Not steaks we will all be to poor to eat red meat!

  2. At least in retrospect, what Trump has done has been simple: The GOPe knew what they wanted, but that is not what the candidate GOP voters wanted. Instead, those voters were pissed off at the GOPe.

    So, in business terms, the GOPe had left a big market opportunity. In football terms, they had neglected their defensive secondary. In military terms, they had left a gaping hole in their line.

    So, Trump saw what the pissed off voters wanted that the GOPe was refusing to provide: (1) Enforce US immigration laws. Simple. Just the laws. Just enforce them. (2) Get the economy going, e.g., quit for whatever reasons letting other countries export their unemployment to the US. (3) Get the US back to a reasonable balance of trade with China, Japan, and Mexico, whatever some GOPe global strategy thinkers want. (4) Do make the US military stronger, but stop the absurd US foreign adventures. (5) Stop the nonsense of ObamaCare. (6) Let the US have locally run schools again. i.e., quit sacrificing US education to the goal of some politically correct, social engineering experiment of least common denominator education, i.e., teaching only to the bottom of the class, “no child left behind”, really all the children left behind, mandated and managed from DC. (7) Many other places, just apply good common sense — e.g., at least for a while, don’t let into the US people from Islamic countries too likely to be terrorists.

    Then get angry, act angry, raise a stink, get a lot of media attention, hold rallies, an average of something over 1 a day, pounding on (1)-(7), to hundreds of thousands of people, and appeal to voters who are angry and “not going take it anymore”. When media and politician attacks come, attack back. Realize that much of the media, e.g., that put O into office twice, will attack viciously, so preemptively assert strongly at each rally that 75% or so of the media are low life, loser, dirt bag liars or some such.

    Seems simple in retrospect. I’m still surprised how well it works until I look at the other candidates.

  3. Terrific. Right on target. Thigh slapping funny.

    “Saving grace — Mitt came in second, no?” For more, O came in next to last!

    the “little people” — that’s the same as McCain’s “the crazies”, all 5000 of them cheering at Trump’s speech in Phoenix on Saturday, July 11, 2015?

    Romney fooled me once. Shame on him. No shame on me — he won’t fool me again.

  4. Who is the future of the Republican party? I mean who should be. JIndal? They were polishing him up for the big show, but now LA is broker than they’ve ever been, quite an accomplishment. George P.? God help us all, a fourth generation Bush. I think the cold, hard reality is that the payoffs are so great now that no honest person becomes a politician. Or at least stays a politician. In my short time in a quasi-government role, I learned that the only real impediment to corruption is your own personal code of ethics. It seems like there should be something better.

    • .
      Politics is like life itself. It is dynamic and the only constant is change.

      Why is Trump successful — he owns and rules “earned media.”

      Even when they’re mad at him, they’re talking about him.

      The future of any political party is going to be held hostage to whether they can win elections.

      In 2012, when Obama beat Romney, the Republicans were to be wandering in the desert for the next 30 years. Then the Republicans won the 2014 mid-terms in a landslide. Obama pretended to ignore it but the win was the biggest repudiation of a sitting President since the 1920s.

      So, why does anyone think the Republicans are in trouble?

      They have to hold serve and run against Obama again and Hillary as his candidate. Obama did the same thing in 2008 when he ran against McCain and Bush.

      Politics is a wrestling match of ideas and the Republicans have to advance ideas that can win in the marketplace.

      • Right, it’s called democracy, not nearly new but discovered by the Greeks as a way to fight with votes at ballot boxes instead of with weapons in wars where only the crows do well.

        One party? Too soon becomes unresponsive and hated by too many. So, there gets to be a second party. In parliamentary systems, can have lots of parties, but as we know with the US system a third party doesn’t work. So, presto, bingo, in the US it’s exactly two parties. Done. QED. That was fast.

        So, in effect, I showed that there there will be a GOP. But, of course, nowhere in that argument did I show that the present GOPe will be running the GOP.

        Good, now the Bush family can relax. Barbara can put little Jeb in a play suit, let him play “Save the World” with his toy soldiers in his backyard sand box, come in, have his bathy, eat his PB&J lunch, get into his jammys, and take his nappy.

        And Kasich, he’s the one I want most to lose: He is just fixated on the idea that balancing the Federal budget is always the crucial, key, uniform, universal, totally optimal way to a strong economy. If he tried that in 2008, he would have thrown the US into the Second Great Depression, done much the same to the rest of the world, likely given us WWIII, this time with nukes and 5 billion people killed. Since the crash of 2008, the only thing keeping the US out of a second great depression has been massive monetary stimulus from the Fed and massive fiscal stimulus from the Treasury. And we still have about 25% unemployment rate.

        But Big John Kasich is a true believer in the great, magic power of The Force of a balanced budget. Scary. Slave to a defunct economist.

        Cruz wants a flat tax. Once “the little people” understand that, that is, not progressive at all, it will flop or there will be blood in the streets.

        Robo Rubio knows just what he wants minute by minute as soon as the GOPe tells him.

        Trump needs to read some Norm Matloff at UC Davis and the history of how the US and the NSF deliberately flooded the US with NSF paid for Master’s and Ph.D. degrees to students, not very good, from Taiwan and India, all for the usual purpose, to get cheap labor. Those students from Taiwan and India were able to pay full tuition and R&B at high end US research universities? From Saudi Arabia, okay. Taiwan and India? Nearly never. England, France, Germany, and Sweden? They have good universities at home. So, US tax payers struggling to pay tuition for their children got taxed to pay for tuition of students from Taiwan and India to compete with US children. Bummer. Big time big bummer.

        The NSF did some econometrics to estimate how many new degrees to grant to flood the US so that STEM Master’s and Ph.D. degree holders would not be able to buy houses and then did so flood. The NSF wrote into research grants that so many grad students had to be supported, and to get those students, hint, hint, Taiwan and India.

        So, good US students walked into class on the first day of grad school, saw that they were the only ones there with a good command of English, left, and went for an MBA, LLB, or MD.

        It’s what happened, big time. Forced many thousands of US citizens to write off their graduate educations.

        Once again, the US power elite attacking the careers and financial security of middle class US citizens.

        Trump can stop it all with just a word to the NSF.

  5. BRC, we may have found your new paint job. The color should set off your headlights beautifully.

    • Yes, with that dress, night gown, or whatever want to call it, really, with her figure, at least at the age she was, she looks better with the usual support and a nice dress or tailored suit. Whatever about that picture, I do believe she is making a really good wife for Trump and will make a terrific First Lady. And she has a big advantage at state dinners: She can converse in a common language with anyone from Europe!

  8. Romney is attempting to blow the process up and insert himself as the only alternative at a deadlocked convention. His appeal to voters in remaining states to vote for favorite sons, instead of their consciences, was breathtakingly cynical. The GOPe view us ‘little people’ as merely sheep for the slaughter, I fear.

    • Romney is just the hatchet man.

      Paul Ryan will be the “savior” candidate in Cleveland. It is his quid pro quo for taking the thankless job of Speaker of the House.

      • .
        Ryan is a suit. A very smart and articulate suit. But nobody with a widow’s peak from Wisconsin will ever be President and I will be so angry as to be unreachable in English.

        If the top vote getter in the primaries is stiffed, then there is no Republican party and I will, personally, enjoy pissing on its grave.

        • If the GOP stiffs Trump, then I will have to assume that their candidate will be just a puppet of the GOPe and too much of another W. What the GOPe wants in taxes is too likely to result in another Great Depression and bloody riots in the streets. A GOPe in the WH and GOP majorities in both Houses would be a big threat.

          In that case, as much as I dislike Hillary, I will eagerly vote for her. Why? She’s smart. She knows the issues. She’s determined. She won’t be a puppet of anyone. The Republican Congress would partly keep her in line. She will be able to borrow a lot of what Trump has been proposing, e.g., on health care, balance of trade, that is, if she can resist trying again for HillaryCare.

          Why not vote for her? She’s nasty. She is usually close to the line, on one side or the other, on law and ethics. She’d rather lie than tell the truth. She’s no woman. She’s an OCD case and, thus, not in control of her thinking. Her judgment sucks. She could do the US a lot of harm. If we needed a real President for something important, with her bad judgment, she’d likely mess it up big time.

    • Ah, Romney just soiled his pants in public for no good reason. He fooled me in 2012 — he’s not fooling me this time. He is leading the GOPe on a one-way walk to the graveyard.
