Romney Baffled That 2024 GOP Contenders “are trying to become as much like Donald Trump as they can be”
he’s just another progressive seeking to expand federal government, tax the middle classes into oblivion, and restrict our freedoms, his proud march with self-proclaimed Marxists just this summer makes a lot more sense
Romney—with his support for everything from gutting the Second Amendment to socialist government-run healthcare to amnesty—is, now that John McCain has passed on, the very last person I would look to for anything beyond an instructive take on the dangers of reading an (R) by some politician’s name as an indication of ideological kinship or of support for the minimal role of federal government as outlined in our founding documents.

President Trump just earned ten million (at least) more votes than he did in 2016, and failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney is apparently keen to ignore this fact. Instead, Romney argues for a return to the grand old pre-Trump GOP days . . . back when Romney lost to the most beatable incumbent president since Jimmy Carter.

To that end, Mittens whined to Politico about how his whipped, beaten, groveling version of the GOP is no more.
. . . . On Sunday, the Utah senator characterized the GOP he once knew as one that placed importance on the character of its leaders. Now, he said, he represents a small slice of the party.

“We’ve strayed from that. I don’t see us returning to that for a long time,” Romney lamented. “As I look at the 2024 [GOP presidential] contenders, most of them are trying to become as much like Donald Trump as they can be.”

Romney has not absorbed the lesson of his own loss to Obama.

Deep state just put him in that position ... You notice that after about a few months into the race ne news media gives one candidate all the attention. You might have a half dozen folks running but they never get air time .. At least prime air time ... Think about jeb bush ... They pushed him ...

I think romney will be baffled by quite a few things over the next 4 years.

2024 won't matter. The US will break up, we become part of the NWO, or they scam another election. GOP will never hold another seat, the Federal GOV will look like NY by 2024.

Romney should put a D in front of his name and not for demonrat but more for douche bag.

Romney and many others are like the gay silly crowd in Hunger Games. Out of touch with the populous.

Here's my thing, I'm convinced that if Trump controlled his mouth just a little bit he would've won. A conservative with Trump's policies but with a more affable style (basically another Reagan) would win if not outright crush it.

Lots of people I know voted against Trump because they didn't like his style/rhetoric not because they disagreed with his policies. Stupid, I know, but you gotta meet the voters where they are.

Universally, the people I know who voted for Biden that were total surprises to me, did so for this very reason.
I am not defending them for their decision. Just saying that like it or not it is a factor. Even if Trump had to fake it, seems like he could have cleaned up his act a bit. I often wondered if people within his inner circle were not trying to get this across to him.

In other news, RINOs confused as to why Americans want to remain free.

Trump is abrasive and lacks the smoothness of Reagan - and what's left of Reagan's "legacy" but a few pithy quotes? Nothing.

If you're going to decide your vote based purely on the "style" of the candidate, you actually don't give a rat's ass about what happens to the fUSA. Most candidates with "style" and smoothness are nothing but scam artists.

If "style" or "talking nice" is your prime consideration, don't vote. Not that voting means anything anymore - it doesn't.

There was massive voter fraud, we all know it. If the "style conscious voter" made any difference it was minuscule, IMHO - as it should be.

"Ohhhh, he might offend my libtard (AKA Maoist) friends, and I don't want that."

I don't have any friends who are in the communist camp - there really is no left and right, that's a false construct, we have nothing to discuss. And that's on them, not me.

Watch these clowns all the time - the false "reasonable" people who are basically members of the New Covidian Church of Saint Xi Ping.

Welcome to the gulag, tovarishch.

I am convinced that if Trump didn't say things the way he does, he would have gotten zero coverage by the media. Every time he speaks disrespectfully to or about someone, there's a message attached that would have been overlooked otherwise. Similarly, he does the same thing (perhaps more skillfully) with the Tweets. Its never just shittalking or ball busting for the sake of shittalking or ball busting. There is always - Always - another message attached.

For more than 4 years, the media couldn't help themselves - they report the bombastic part with the important part in the same quoted tweet for the whole world to see.

I remember watching Trump in interviews since the 80's. Before his tv show, he was reserved and even quiet. If you watch or listen to his old Letterman or Stern interviews, he was a different person. If you watch him delivering remarks at a presidential function, again, he's polite and respectful.

To suggest that he's incapable of keeping his composure during a tweet or at a rally or a debate is crazy. The bombastic comments serve a purpose to further the message being delivered.
