Mitt Romney Gives Mormons (I Love The Mormons) A Bad Name

Bush, Donald Trump, Elections, Iraq, Morality, Republicans, Taxation

Mitt Romney, who inherited his privileges, says of Donald Trump, “He inherited his business, he didn’t create it.” Pot, kettle, black?

But above all, Romney is utterly morally bankrupt in his praise for war criminal George W. Bush, while condemning Trump (who has never ordered the killing of a single Iraqi kid) for destroying Dubya’s precious memory:

“Donald Trump says he admires Vladimir Putin, while has called George W. Bush a liar. That is a twisted example of evil trumping good.”

(Required reading: “Trump Called Bush A Liar & He Won South Carolina (Nevada, too)” & “Making America Great Means Exposing ‘W.’”)

“On foreign policy,” says Romney, “Donald Trump tells us that he is very, very smart. I’m afraid that when it comes to foreign policy he is very, very not smart.”

Sounds like ad hominen, not argument, Mitt.

At least Trump has not promised to bomb the world as Romney did during his failed, meek, mild and obsequious run against Barack Obama, in 2012.

On Iraq, says malevolent Mitt, Trump “spoke in favor of invading.”

Well, Trump did come out forcefully against the invasion of Iraq early in the game, when Romney was cheering the Republican blood hounds he runs with. But it is true that Trump has a horrible record of actually speaking coherently and consistently. His linguistic infelicities are unbearable. Surprising, too, given Trump was such a well-spoken, refined young man. Then again, Trump has not been a politician and should not be treated as such.

Trump has never passed a law. He’s political tabula rasa to Mitt Romney’s iffy record.

On his wealth: Romney predicts “that there are more bombshells in his tax returns. I predict that he doesn’t give much if anything to the disabled and to our veterans. … And I predict that despite his promise to do so, first made over a year ago, he will never ever release his tax returns. Never. Not the returns under audit, not even the returns that are no longer being audited. He has too much to hide.”

Let’s see. Trump’s tax returns will indeed be revealing.

MORE from the bitter and twisted Mitt, who respects the Republican base not at all.

Republican Party Apparatchiks Put The Party Over The People

Conservatism, Donald Trump, Republicans

Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse, whose avid supporter, Mark Levin, now says he’s a fraud*, is fond of preaching about conservatism.

And as a real conservative, Sasse would like nothing more than to dissolve the Republican base and elect another more compliant support base to better reflect his ideas. Of course, Sasse phrases his goals more diplomatically:

“The American people deserve better than two fundamentally dishonest New York liberals.” (Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.)

Today, Sasse was put on the spot by MSNBC’s Chuck Todd:

Let me ask you this. If you have — what is a political party? And I ask it this way. Is it a, is it a party who gets its principles and its ideals from its leaders, or is it ground up? What if this is the people speaking and the people are basically handing the nomination to Donald Trump? You may not like it, but is it then fundamentally that the Republican party is changing because the people that are members of it have changed?

Sasse, the power hungry fool, conceded that “a political party is a tool, not a religion,” but went on to dictate his terms of party conservatism to the base. “Find the right guy,” Sasse said to Republican voters. Trump’s not it.

Republican Party apparatchiks have always put Party over People and The People are ON TO THEM.

MORE.

*Levin has a record of endorsements that don’t work out (because most Scarlet Letter E–for establishment–Republicans are frauds).

UPDATED: Americans Sick-And-Tired Of Being Manipulated By Their Leadership & Its Client States

Donald Trump, Elections, IMMIGRATION, Middle East, Political Correctness, Republicans

World leaders are heavily vested in an America whose borders are open to all, and whose leadership leverages political correctness as a weapon against a down-trodden American people petrified of … being called names.

It would appear that Americans, for the most, are sick-and-tired of being manipulated from above and from every other direction by their leadership and its client states.

The audacious Hisham Melhem of Al Arabya:

And there’s the ubiquitous threat, again, issued by ESTABLISHMENT ERICK (ERICKSON). People, behave or else!

“… ultimately that Donald Trump supporters need to understand that Hillary Clinton will be elected if they choose to go down this path and Republicans have an obligation to to make it clear in the primary that it will be Hillary Clinton if they don’t change.”

UPDATE II: Chris Matthews Offers Profundities On What’s Behind Trump

America, Donald Trump, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Media, Nationhood, Political Philosophy, Republicans

Chris Matthews of Hardball offered a most unusual commentary, unusual because insight and depth are rare these days at MSNBC (the network that fired Pat Buchanan):

Trump stands out there with something the other candidates lack, a compelling message. Trump speaks, like it or not, as an American. He goes after Putin [sic], the Chinese, the Pope and the presidents of Mexico. He even says he’ll be even-handed with Israel and its neighbors.

Trump speaks as a nationalist, that’s how he talks. He speaks not of how he’ll handle the job of president—how he’ll operate the government of Washington, what bills he will sign or veto, but, rather, how he will lead America in the world.

Trump’s rivals for the presidency speak of government; he speaks of country, this country, and that makes all the difference. Someone like Rubio cannot contest Trump on this level. It’s too late for him to try or even imagine fully what Trump is doing. Rubio cannot at this late stage muster a winning strategy.

Trump has one. It’s in his slogan. Make America great again.

WATCH Matthews & This extraordinary situation in the GOP.
