Just think, folks, had you elected Romney in 2012, you wouldn't have Trump today!

It is well known that Donald Trump was not my choice for the Republican presidential nomination. After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not. When he won the election, I hoped he would rise to the occasion. His early appointments of Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions, Nikki Haley, Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, Kelly and Mattis were encouraging. But, on balance, his conduct over the past two years, particularly his actions this last month, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office.

Just what was to be expected from Romney. Can't get more of a me, myself and I look from where the wind blows politician than Mitt. He will be running for more than one office in the future and is trying to set himself up nicely.
One comment Mitt. This isn't about how a president shapes the public character, it is what a president reveals about the public. Now get a spine.
 
And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.

The slime weaseled himself into Utah, now his true ambitions are showing. Why is it that I so dislike slimy politicians?
 
I remain optimistic about our future. In an innovation age, Americans excel. More importantly, noble instincts live in the hearts of Americans. The people of this great land will eschew the politics of anger and fear if they are summoned to the responsibility by leaders in homes, in churches, in schools, in businesses, in government - who raise our sights and respect the dignity of every child of God - the ideal that is the essence of America.

Too bad isn't it that our leaders generally suck now, which is why Trump is here.

Romney has failed to learn, which given his record comes as no shock.

I think that's a fair assessment, and probably how a lot of the establishment GOP feel.

You and I part company there....Honest people who know how to get things done and who like to get things done and who are smart and wise and decent people and who understand consent how have decided to leave the world better than they found it....that is what we lack.....those are the best leaders.

Washington is full of second and third rate people now.

We The People allowed this to happen.

WE USED TO BE BETTER!

Cool.

In my defense I am in the middle of a special New Years Day Bake-Fest.

And the sex was especially awesome last night.

I am sort of in a cloud.

The good kind,.

If you are insinuating that Trump doesn't crave adoration, well, never mind...:roll:

That's human, yes, but most people become less self-obsessed as they grow up. The way Trump craves adoration is akin to a mentally disturbed child. Maybe an infant.

And personal branders like Trump take being liked as being equal to money which equates to winning....which is the entire point of it all.

"If you are not here to win then why bother" Trump would say.

Anyone can be a loser, it is winning that is special.

TRUMP WOULD SAY
