Media begin canonization of Mitt Romney
By Thomas Lifson

Remember when Mitt Romney was a heartless capitalist, torturer of the family dog and driving his ex-employees into cancer?  It wasn’t that many years ago, when he had the effrontery to run against the nation's First Black President, that Mitt Romney was a cartoon villain so far as the media and other Democrats were concerned.

That was then, but now that Donald Trump is president and Romney a senator who may be called to cast a vote in a Senate impeachment trial, Romney is enjoying the media’s “strange new respect,” much like a Republican-appointed Supreme Court justice voting with the liberal bloc. The Atlantic, the deep-pocketed publication owned by the widow of Steve Jobs, is one of the true thought-leaders on the journalistic left, and it is signaling that Romney is a man entitled to deep respect, for he may someday play the role that Howard Baker played with Richard Nixon.  In an article by McKay Coppins, entitled “The Liberation of Mitt Romney,” the positive language is slathered onto Mitt with abandon, considering how recently he was evil incarnate and wore "magic underwear."  For example:

A half century ago in 1964, Barry Goldwater of Arizona, a legitimate Conservative
and former AF Major-General, became the GOP nominee.
That event energized republicrat lefties Rockefeller, Scranton, Romney, Cahill, Bush
and others, to organize an aggressive media campaign to discredit and defeat him.
It was successful and ushered  in LBJ.
This current Romney schmuck is simply a clone of his crony capitalist and unprincipled
old man, who belongs in the D Party!!!
