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.
