Mitt Romney, the Republican party’s presidential nominee in 2012, returned to the national stage on Thursday with a blistering indictment of Donald Trump, dubbing the frontrunner “a phony” and “a fraud”.The full speech, if you have the stomach for it.
In response, The Donald said, in essence, that Romney would have given Trump a blowjob four years ago for Trump's endorsement.
As a candidate, Romney has failed almost as many times as Trump's businesses have failed. But that's not important.
Thing is, the party establishment thinks that Trump will drive the party right over a a cliff. And yet they've waited until the bus was at full speed and 100 feet from the edge before standing up and saying "Driver, I don't think this is a good idea."*
The time to do that was last year, when the opinion polls were beginning to go Trump's way.

Or maybe they should have backed off on preaching hate and paranoia and explaining how the government is coming to kill you. They cultivated this tree beginning with Reagan and it has been bearing crops on a consistent basis. This year is looking like a bumper harvest. There's still a significant percentage screaming that no-one is conservative enough for them. I guess they want Pol Pot.

ReplyDeleteI fear that is very close to the truth. A percentage of the GOP base would happily institute Killing Fields 2.0.
