Romney Delivers Another Rebuke of Trump...and the Trump Team Responds
2019-01-02
BLUF:
[Townhall] Romney criticized not only Trump's foreign policy, of course, but his character as well.
To a great degree, a presidency shapes the public character of the nation. A president should unite us and inspire us to follow "our better angels." A president should demonstrate the essential qualities of honesty and integrity, and elevate the national discourse with comity and mutual respect. As a nation, we have been blessed with presidents who have called on the greatness of the American spirit. 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.

Brad Parscale, who runs Trump's re-election campaign, suggested that the incoming senator is just jealous that Trump succeeded where he couldn't.

#13  #12 Flake, Corner, and McCain get booted and Utah elects a replacement for one of them. Must be the Morman thingee operating in Utah. WTF?

I swear it was not a drunk posting.

#11  From the Washington Examiner:

It’s war: Rand Paul hits ‘Big Government’ Romney, calls Trump an ‘actual conservative’

Poor Senator Romney. Had he not returned to Washington, DC, he never would have known he ought to spend his time where he’ll be appreciated, Still, he’s a pragmatic man — perhaps he’ll decide to come to terms with the current reality.

#9  Senator Romney seems like a very nice guy. The kind that finishes last as evidenced in 2012.

#8  We just got rid of Corker, McCain and Flake.

#7  Hmmm...both came from family money. One could talk to the working people, the other talks only to the ruling caste. One is actually doing something for the working class, the other is pandering to the ruling caste. I think we can explain why one became president and the other did not. This one is going to follow the Bushes (among the ruling caste) model. Probably decent personable people, but dropping that mask when the time comes to call on which center of power they orbit.

#6  Romney hates the Evangelicals who voted for Trump but that didn't turn out for him and make him President because they thought his religion was a bit weird.

#5  Romney, Harry Reid, and McChrystal seem to be reading from the same page in the same play book.

#4  Romney has always been a RINO and loves to lie in bed with the demoncrats.

Like it or not, we now have 6 years of this twat to deal with. See Flake and McStain for future behavior.

#3  The Left has always been angry. All they have to sell is hate. You think you can reason with them? It's about power. Everyone is expendable to achieve that goal. That is why Mr. Trump is the president you couldn't be. Enjoy the Quisling McCain Memorial Senatorial seat.

#2  With the nation so divided, resentful and angry,

They're called Democrats, Mr. Romney. Now go ahead and put Seamus back on the roof...

#1  Your first step was destructive with me, buddy.

We happen to be trying to patch up the major damage done after your stupid Presidential Campaign.

And you want to run for a lower office and with your left foot step in the pile I AM trying to execrate from THIS LAND?

Some, your last remains.

YOU do need to back Trump. You democrat in republican clothing.
