President Trump Isn't the Enemy, Mr. Romney
David Limbaugh
Posted: Jan 04, 2019 12:01 AM
Two days before he was sworn in as Utah's junior U.S. senator, Mitt Romney published an op-ed in The Washington Post, publicly broadcasting, once again, his disapproval of President Donald Trump. Disappointing, but not surprising.
Something seems to compel those in the never-Trump crowd not only to perpetually obsess over Trump but also to constantly remind us of their profound distaste for him -- lest it escape our top-of-mind awareness.
A few things popped out at me when I read Romney's piece -- apart from his flagrant hypocrisy in reigniting his public relations campaign against Trump after abandoning it when seeking to be Trump's secretary of state.

I heard this out there, we should be criticizing Democrats, not Republicans.

Why would Romney choose to publish his piece in the overtly liberal Washington Post? Are political liberals and the mainstream media his constituency now? It would be one thing for a newly minted GOP senator to take on Democrats in that publication, but it's quite another for him to harshly criticize his party's president in a paper that exclusively speaks for the opposition party -- a party that will doubtlessly leverage this op-ed against the president and in favor of the Democrats' policy agenda, which Romney has been telling us for years he abhors.
I'll be damned!
Seems Mitt's polling indicates that he is calling upon one's character to choose between Donald Trump and say....somebody like him.
He senses that perhaps, Donald Trump is painted into a corner, and MSNBC's #1 ratings indicate that he offers a truly wonderful, virtuous alternative to, cough, cough...
When will Mitt ever learn? His lack of fight vs. Obama will be exploited.
He's dead, Jim. :cool:

Romney's a peculiar sort of phony. He's a phony who appears to believe that he's not a phony.

A politician who believes his own words? Say it ain't so!

You can find that, at Free Republic. Twenty+ year record of online conservative discussion.

Why don't you just post a link to your favorite website? If it's so much better then why do you post on TBR?
Are you just slumming here?

Did I say "favorite?" Of course I did not. I simply stated they criticize Democrats. And I stated they had a 20+ year record.
Both true.
Do you agree or disagree with that?

I did until a number of years ago, and i was a '98er. Now they are just another partisan Republican site. The mass purge of people who weren't 100% Trump supporters in '16 came later.

Depends. Do you think "Republican" is interchangeable with "Conservative?" I don't.
