Posted by: Joe Hallenbeck at June 30, 2016 06:34 PM (MNgU2) 16
maybe he's hinting around to the party leadership that they'll have a candidate if they throw Trump aside. After all, the Dems ran Adlai Stevenson twice and Wm Jennings Bryan three times. Romney could join an illustrious panoply of losers

I"ve been reading this blog for a long time, but this is the first time I've dared to comment.
Mitt Romney is a good man, a good husband and father. He would make a good president of all the people. He would bring us together again as a nation. He has a kind heart, a good heart, and a good head. He knows business and he knows people. This maybe our last chance to save the country and return the US to those good values that made the US a good country. I maybe out of line speaking up like this, but I believe that we need Mitt Romney for goodness sake. Posted by: Charlie at June 30, 2016 06:40 PM (D/gjT) 59

Mitt Romney is absolute irrelevant to the crisis of the times: the fact that a mob can rule on the House floor should be an indicator that the Old American system, under the current scheme, is done. I think people need to come to the realization that the United States of America, as far as a governmental entity, has probably come to the end of its usefulness as a means for insuring their political desires, for the folks in charge of the manufactured culture simply will not allow any views but theirs to have any weight--and I think they might be able to hold sway against all challenges except physical.
The Left revels in its newly-found ability to roam to and fro over the political battlefield; though it might not seem like it, I assure you that the flanks have collapsed. Complete annilihation is going to happen in about ten years. You will have no say in this nation anymore unless you make it impossible to ignore you; you will have to decide how to accomplish that, and what your intentions will be: accept it, or fight.

Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at June 30, 2016 06:46 PM (6FqZa) I think many Republicans could have run against Hil and won fairly easily. Romney would have offered a particularly sharp contrast of character, even if his policies aren't as Conservative as one might like. By the way, has Mike Lee been declared a Hil-loving Democrat for raging against Trump? Posted by: person at June 30, 2016 06:49 PM (mFkVC) 133

OH I think Romney would suck less than Hillary. But to bypass the entire process, give none of the party voters a choice, and be chosen over the one they voted for by a small group of elites would kill the party. And rightfully so.

Charlie,
The first question is "does the candidate have a chance to win." That has to take precedence over how good a president someone would make. If Romney couldn't show some passion and balls in the 2012 campaign after Benghazi, what makes you think he will be different now? Posted by: exhelodrvr at June 30, 2016 06:51 PM (IijTQ) 142
Mitt Romney is a good man, a good husband and father.

Walker was the one guy with the chops and the experience to do the job right, but he ran a weak campaign, hired the wrong guys, and the GOPe freaked out and blocked him as much as possible. He couldn't break through that, and he gave up too soon.
So... whatever. I'm not a Republican, so the party wouldn't betray me by simply subbing some other dude in the place of the nominee. Either way he wouldn't get my vote.

Posted by: Joe Hallenbeck at June 30, 2016 06:53 PM (MNgU2) --------------- This is the process that frightens me. Conservatives say, "I'm going to vote Trump, who is terrible, because he's a bit better then Hil." But people don't like voting for someone loathsome. So they start trying to justify that Trump isn't THAT bad. He's OK. The real baddies are the people opposing him. And soon "lesser evil" becomes "supporting Trumpism" This certainly doesn't happen in everyone, but its a natural human reaction to being faced with a horrible choice. A Conservative voting for Trump shouldn't feel good about it. I may vote for him and I certainly hope I feel miserable. The thing to do is to pull the lever and then immediately resume criticizing him. Posted by: person at June 30, 2016 06:58 PM (mFkVC) 170

We could have something a lot worse than a Trump Presidency. Given that both parties detest him, he probably won't be able to accomplish a whole lot. 4 years of gridlock sounds okay. That worse thing is called a Hillary Presidency. She wins, we get another Kagan or Sotomayor, and the Constitution gets redefined into oblivion. Get yerselves sorted and vote accordingly. Ain't rocket surgery. It's way too late in the game for anyone else to get on the ballot.

Romney as tone deaf as ever.

I like Romney. I like him a lot, and I had no reservations about voting for him in 2008 or 2012, however, I's never do so again.
It's over. It may not be a vanity play for him or, perhaps, it's exactly that, but it's over either way. His hesitation to act, and to act with purpose, only confirms that he has not done the one thing that I said would be required of him before I'd ever consider voting for him again. That one thing is to fight like hell. Sure, he bitched and moaned and was a minor annoyance re Trump, but that's not fighting. I wanted to see the kind of fight that one undertakes when a stranger enters one's home: When one's family... country.... way of life are in jeopardy. In that circumstance one does not invite the danger in for a cup of Earl Grey, and I'm afraid that Romney would do just that. He simply does not have it in him and I hate that fact.

Greta is some kind of boiling mad about Loretta Lynch meeting with Creepy Bill on a private plane for 30 minutes.
Pundits are "surprised" that Bill Clinton wouldn't realize that this could jeopardize his wife's investigation. Does everyone forget that Bill Clinton was impeached by Congress for lying in a deposition to Federal investigators and to the american public regarding an affair he had with an intern. Subsequently, he was disbarred in the state of Arkansas for that same lie and fined. The Supreme Court then disbarred him from ever arguing in front of the court. This is not someone who worries about legal issues. For the most part, he and his wife have always managed to slither out of legal issues with an occasional fine.

"Romney is evil personified, has committed numerous acts of pedophilia, and claimed a personal exemption for his slave."

You know, for all the Mitt bashing, he has been very consistent about saying "No. Just NO!" to the idea of running again. Lots and lots of people have practically handed him the nomination, but he's refused to jump. You think the GOPe wasn't crawling on broken glass to get him once it became clear Jeb was flaming out? Mitt has repeatedly said lots of people have begged him to get in, and he's very consistently told them that he had his chance and now he's done.

Romney never would have won the primary. If he had gotten in he simply would split the already badly divided non-Trump vote.
There seems to be this lack of understanding that the largest voting bloc in the GOP are Trump supporters. They may not be a complete majority (although I think they are), but together they are at least a large plurality. It is also unlikely that Cruz supporters would back Romney either until it was clear their candidate would lose. What about Rubio's supporters considering the man crush they have for pool boy? BTW - When did Romney become the magic politician who if only he gets in will win it all? He blundered against McCain, had a rough time with Santorum for the love of god, and then decided to stop campaigning the last two weeks of the 2012 election because he was so honorable over a hurricane, while Obama campaigned his rear off using the Hurricane to highlight his "greatness" at NJ fat boy's expense. Romney also comes from a family that traditionally loses elections more than wins them. If the GOP was filled with such genius politicians just waiting to come to the rescue due to that "wicked" Trump - 1. Trump would not have won the votes primary, and 2. Obama would not be kicking the GOP's ass all the time...its the only ass Obama can kick in the world. Like it or not - Trump right now is the GOP's best politician. Maybe one day Cruz, or someone like that will grow up and make better tactical decisions like not siding with a mob of leftist rioting in Chicago just to stick it to Trump. Bad move...

306 Hi Bluebell! It went really well - I managed to win my class so that was nice. I'd have liked to have placed higher in the overall aggregate - I ended in something like fourth or fifth place. One of the main reasons for going out was to get a chance to shoot on the new electronic scoring system. It's really pretty cool, you see the shot placement and scoring on a tablet or smartphone right next to you, but it's very distracting at first because you're focusing on the screen and not the range conditions. It'll just take some getting used to.

The collective Trump/Cruz vote was like what, 70%? The fact that Trump won despite being such a bad candidate just shows that the world passed Mitt by. He would not have won, not even close.

The reason Romney lost is not that he didn't fight hard enough. That's a
comforting delusion that many conservatives have embraced, rather than face the reality of how far the country has moved to the left. He lost because he was up against an incumbent with an approval rating over 50%. Any Republican was always going to be the underdog in that scenario. Reagan probably would have lost to Obama too. Unfortunately, because this nonsense that Obama should have been easily beaten, was allowed to become the conventional wisdom among GOP base voters, in 2016 they went looking for someone who wouldn't wimp out like Romney supposedly did. And that (along with Trump's $2 billion in free media) was how the GOP nominated a buffoon with a 70% disapproval rating. Who is on track to lose by more than Romney did, to a far weaker candidate than Obama. BUT HE FIGHTS!!! Posted by: Jon0815 at June 30, 2016 07:45 PM (HA+/6) 426

I was brainwashed! - When Daddy George was running in 1968 and made that statement about Vietnam, I was in junior high. One of my assignments was to ask our parents who their hero was. My dad, disabled in WWII, picked George because of that statement. Everybody else had Lincoln or such (my mom picked Jonas Salk). When my teacher read it, she got a look on her face like she'd drunk spoiled milk. Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Racist for Dinosaurs at June 30, 2016 07:46 PM (Nwg0u) 433

I've been on the receiving end of the "not voting for A is the same as voting for B" argument more times than I can count. I've always rejected it. The only way I vote for B is by actually voting for B. Voting third party, write-in, or not voting are all legitimate choices. Your vote is your own. I've always said that in the past and still do. I am pissed at the party leaders and "conservative pundits" who are NeverTrump. Those are the same people who would be throwing that argument in my face if I balked at voting for Jeb. But not ordinary voters. Posted by: rickl at June 30, 2016 07:51 PM (sdi6R) 451

The reason that Romney "couldn't have won against the highly popular Obama" was that he refused to make any of Obama's weaknesses and failures into issues. I cannot recall a single instance where Romney mentioned Fast and Furious, Solyndra, or any of the others. He made a very weak attempt to mention Benghazi and immediately sat down when he was criticized by the Media.

The other major thing about Mitt Romney is his management of his campaign where they abandoned the traditional get out the vote organizations for their spiffy new ORCA software which they deployed for the first time on election day. Anybody who has had any experience with computer systems is pretty well aware that if you deploy a large and complex computer system that is critical to your success without extensive testing prior to deployment you are pretty close to guaranteed to fail and that is what happened.
To me that completely refutes any claim that Romney might have had to competence. Posted by: Obnoxious A-Hole at June 30, 2016 07:54 PM (QHgTq) 464

Romney can win this November.
First, he has to amend his earlier campaign platform of killing 47% of America's population. He has to lower it to 20%. The principle of price pointing says he should probably make it 18%. Second, he has to triangulate. Some trigonometry might be involved. The Law of Cosines will play well with the GOP's conservative base. Third, he has to pick a running mate who would be an asset to his campaign. George Pataki was noncontroversial, but he's a Northeasterner. He should probably look at the map and find someone who could deliver Wisconsin and maybe put California in play. I'm thinking that the guy who owned the pizza joint in "Laverne & Shirley" would be on the short list. Fourth, he ought to differentiate himself from Trump by proposing his own wall, running from (say) Wildwood, N.J., to the coast of Ventura County, California. If pressed for specifics, he should be ready with an answer, and that answer should be Oxnard. Lastly, he has to come across as a regular guy. He should start eating lots of Kentucky Fried Chicken and Taco Bell. He should recruit sports celebrities to speak on his behalf at rallies - superstars, like Pearl Washington and Tommy Morrison. And he has to lose the tie as much as possible. He could do this as a Republican or as an Independent, and he'd win the presidency with 300 electoral votes. And America will be saved.

The thing that really soured me on Romney in 2012 was this:
As you all know, I'm a space geek. So is Newt Gingrich. During the Florida primary he gave a speech advocating the construction of a moon base. He was animated, engaged, and clearly knew his stuff. You might quibble about the details of his plan, but not his passion. A couple of days later Romney gave a speech about space policy. It was painfully evident that he didn't give a damn about the subject, and basically said he would put Top. Men. to work to develop a policy. He then told a tearjerking story about a troop of Boy Scouts from Massachusetts that sent a flag to be flown on the ill-fated Challenger flight. Which had fuck-all to do with present-day space policy. During the next debate, Romney made a crack about Newt's moon base to get a cheap laugh line. I was enraged, and swore I would never vote for him. In the end, I swallowed my pride and did. Never again. The man is a fraud and a phony. Posted by: rickl at June 30, 2016 08:07 PM (sdi6R) 509

Etc. He could also throw the articles "el" and "los" around willy-nilly, call himself El Mitt and scream "Los Republicanos por Los Estadounidenses!"

Trump seems pretty well informed to me. Not well informed in the sense that he knows who Abe Lincoln was, but he is on twitter, he reads Ann Coulter (I think), and he has the right gut instinct that the establishment 9s perpetrating a massive lie - about immigration, Islam, NATO, etc. Romney completely buys into the status quo. I think Trump learned a lot about human nature and politics in the real estate biz, Romney didn't learn anything running spreadsheets in an office tower at Bain.

A couple of days later Romney gave a speech about space policy. It was painfully evident that he didn't give a damn about the subject, and basically said he would put Top. Men. to work to develop a policy. He then told a tearjerking story about a troop of Boy Scouts from Massachusetts that sent a flag to be flown on the ill-fated Challenger flight. Which had fuck-all to do with present-day space policy.
During the next debate, Romney made a crack about Newt's moon base to get a cheap laugh line. I was enraged, and swore I would never vote for him. In the end, I swallowed my pride and did. Never again. The man is a fraud and a phony. Posted by: rickl at June 30, 2016 08:07 PM (sdi6R) What pissed my off in the primaries was when he tried to cut off Perry on illegal immigration by saying the first he'd do was build the Wall.

As a former Romney fan who, after he lost, met him and wanted him to run...thank God he and Ryan lost.
Ryan has done NOTHING to advance conservatism and small government. Mitt Ryan, after his anti-Trump speech, thinks he is his own little god. I think he may be "touched in the head" with anger and jealousy. I was all in, after my front-runners lost, in 2008 and 2012. Well, not as in for McCain, but going to a rally in FL heat for Romney/Ryan. Feel betrayed by both. They can bite moi. Disgraceful jealousy is never pretty to see. They have both degraded any respect I had (not that they care..globalists at heart more comfortable with Hilz Hog Harridan than someone who "is not qualified." So, does her wonderful history (in Senate: passed a few bills or named a post office), as Sec of State started off her illustrious career by bungling the restart button, getting drunk and lots of frequent flyer miles, and then! her Arab Spring sprung where she had Quaddafi killed, four Americans killed, lied over their bodies at Dover AFB, continued to lie for three weeks, and don't look too hard at her emails or the swinging bank doors of the Clinton Foundation. Oh, yeah, Mitt, she is qualified to drive this country into a worse hell hole than it is already in. My message to Mitt: you had your chance twice. You had a chance again but refused. You blew the 2012 election by being a pathetic milquetoast limp twit. You had your chance and you...YOU...blew it. Go back to your mansions and stew in your decaf. All your blowhard yapping, I guess, must desire a tsunami of sudden support and wonder for you. A dream of magically being nominated at the convention so we can lose AGAIN. Yet, you said (you lying pasty limp noodle), your own wife did not let you run. Wonder how she is feeling today after seeing you disgust Americans from coast to coast with your pathetic attempts to be a hero. I do hope I run into you again! My message will not be the same as last time. I do not like wilting petunias. xoxo Posted by: ChristyBlinky, Infidel Queen at June 30, 2016 08:22 PM (jRWGg) 557

I believe that if Fox News was really in the tank for Republicans the way the left thinks, they would create really tough questions for Trump to answer, then slip him the questions a week in advance along with some suggested answers, and do a series of hard-hitting interviews hammering him with the toughest stuff, showcasing how great he is at dealing with it and how much he knows about foreign policy etc.

Margarita, I can see the point you're making, but I still think anything that's not +1 for Trump to be effectively +1 for the other side. Just how I feelz about it. I have yuuge fear of Hillary. 8 years of O has damn near killed us; we will not survive 8 more of Hillary.

I can.
Think of it this way. Suppose you have a friend who dislikes Hillary but will vote for her because she l-o-a-t-h-e-s Trump. There is NO way you can ever change her mind about the scalpweasel. But if you could convince said friend to vote for Gary Johnson, wouldn't it better than giving Hillary a +1?

You mean won the primary.
I wouldn't vote for Romney again if you paid me. Especially not now that he's shown what he truly is for. Yeah, yeah, I know "but HITLERY!!!!!". Sorry, not going to vote for someone because I hate someone else. I will now only vote for people I want to see in the office and not to prevent someone else from getting in. It's why we're in the situation we're in and Hillary is a threat. Because we've kept voting for appeasers and weak and feckless cowards. Afraid of being called racist because they criticize a minority or called sexist for pointing out the flaws in a female candidate. So, no, Romney might have won the primary but he still wouldn't win the Presidency. Because being Democrat Lite isn't enough to get elected anymore.

I am concerned that Donald Trump basically being a sleazy scumbag adulterer is going to hurt him seriously with Christians though, and I'm not kidding. I know more than a few that are saying "Him? Never." They view his personal life and antics as being just as wicked as Hillary's policies and actions. In terms of morality, the man is pretty low.

And why do supposed conservatives heartily believe and swear by what some Democrat journalist has misquoted Trump as saying?
It gets tiresome to hear the distortions spread by the media. It gets even more aggravating when those who should know better claim that what those lying journalists have said is true. Pretty much all of the so called quotes of Mr. Trump saying something stupid have been a journalists INTERPRETATION of what he said and not a repeat of his actual words. And yes, he does speak in a manner that is open to that interpretation because he assumes people can speak and understand English and that most people don't parse a sentence trying to make it sound as stupid as they can. Which is what journalists and Trump's detractors do. And that's a fault of our public school system; too many can't really speak or understand the English language or the spoken word.

You have to wonder of Mitt will break out of his padded room even after the convention and announce, coyly, that his special friend (inside his head) is telling him to run.
Then he sits back, flashes his grin, and waits for the accolades to just pour in. A draft of sorts by Kristol and that other dick head (I just had a nap: amnesia). Tens of supporters...tens! I knew, back in February, this man had lost his marbles. Some are just rattling around in his cranium (47% or so). His ego must have taken quite the smashing in 2012.

When I am wrong I am wrong spectacularly but take it on the chin.
Full disclosure: after being a rabid Romney/Ryan supporter I met Romney. Asked him if he was going to run (he smiled his practiced smile and sheepishly said no. I wonder, now, how much he practices this). I then told him this country needed him and all sorts of blathering kudos. Hey, Mitt: I take it all back! I was wrong about you AND really, really wrong about that crapweasel Ryan and his Rain Man budget talk. All talk, no action. No gonads. You are all the same: political correctness patty cake. The reason Mr. Trump is winning and beat out the other 16 is because he does not care who he offends: you (Mitt, not you morons), Obongo, Hilz, Joe, Fauxahauntus. He does not care that some are offended by the wall. He does not care that some are offended by being called radical islamic terrorists and their families (see: Mateen's disappearing wife). Sometimes I want to stand up and cheer at his lack of political correctness and non-ownership of lobbies. Yet! Some fret over...drum roll...syntax! (Which is in the same league as fretting over tranny bathrooms while in the same stall that Orlando barbarian is firing rounds into your body). Mitt: hide, honey. Pray you don't meet me again.

Of course Cruz campaigned for evangelicals and Trump not so much. With more data available from Missouri (a very close race between Trump and Cruz - wonder why that picked that one?), Christianity Today presented the following stats: Attended church more than once per week: Cruz 56, Trump 26 Attended church a few times per year: Trump 48, Cruz 29 Those categories likely exclude most actual voters!

And other folks excoriating NeverTrumpers for handing the Court to the left - perhaps spare a little blame for the primary voters who picked the guy who wanted to put his liberal sister on the Supreme Court.

There's something you have to understand about Christians. We kind of expect and welcome abuse and persecution. Threatening us with that isn't exactly convincing.

And other folks excoriating NeverTrumpers for handing the Court to the left - perhaps spare a little blame for the primary voters who picked the guy who wanted to put his liberal sister on the Supreme Court.Seriously, what we need is a judge who will emphasize the separation of powers and reign in the imperial executive.

Posted by: stace...TEXIT at June 30, 2016 09:05 PM (ozZau) OK, I may have had the timeline wrong. Perhaps Oswald (and Cruz?) were handing out those pamphlets in 1963, not a year or two before, as I said earlier. I could have looked it up, but I was going on memory. What I read in the link was that Trump said that Cruz was with Oswald just before Oswald was shot, which of course would implicate him in the JFK assassination. I think this is a good example of Trump's mangled syntax. I think he meant to say that Cruz was with Oswald before Oswald killed Kennedy (which of course was immediately before Oswald himself was shot). I don't see any direct accusation that Cruz was actually involved with the Kennedy assassination. Of course, by phrasing it the way he did, it could be construed as an insinuation. Whether it was accidental or deliberate, I don't know. Sheesh. A Great Communicator, he ain't. Posted by: rickl at June 30, 2016 09:20 PM (sdi6R) 745

" think he meant to say that Cruz was with Oswald before Oswald killed Kennedy (which of course was immediately before Oswald himself was shot). I don't see any direct accusation that Cruz was actually involved with the Kennedy assassination. "
Which is still complete bullshit. The elder Cruz has always been anti-communist. He was jailed for opposing Castro once the "freedom fighter" mask came off.

Mitt Romney is a good man, a good husband and father. He would make a good president of all the people. He would bring us together again as a nation. He has a kind heart, a good heart, and a good head. He knows business and he knows people. This maybe our last chance to save the country and return the US to those good values that made the US a good country. I maybe out of line speaking up like this, but I believe that we need Mitt Romney for goodness sake. Posted by: Charlie at June 30, 2016 06:40 PM (D/gjT) Romney who campaigned one way (immigration enforcement, no OCare) and once he lost basically went back on all of it?

Personally speaking, I do NOT want Trump apologizing or "repenting" for his past sins.
TBH, it makes me sick to my stomach when he pretends to be a serious Christian. I hate that in Obama and I hate it in Trump. He's a cultural Christian but basically a secularist with no particular religious belief. So be it. I don't think he's given much thought (if any) to philosophical, religious, or even political questions. But the good side to that is that he has no ideological/religious hatreds the way leftists do.

You said he has to find a way towards forgiveness.
Why? Who is supposed to forgive him? I answered that. His actions and his claim of Christianity are at odds. If he went to a group like last week with all these pastors and stuff and said something like "I lived a pretty bad lifestyle in the past, I even slept around on my wife. I got right with God about that and left it behind" that would make a huge difference with Christian voters. You know, instead of being gleeful about it and making cracks about how hot his daughter is. So would absolutely repudiating abortion, but he'll never do that.

When they got into power in the 1930s they started passing laws that eventually led to euthanasia of disabled children (and then adults).

Google Allen Stanford pension fraud. Stanford is a Bush associate. Interestingly a suddenly formed financial services company run by one of mittens sons just had to hire EVERY ex employee from Stanford's defunct company. Hush money? Then there is the Puerto Rico bailout of bond holders by Ryan, Bain being one of the bigger bag holders in a default.
Romney has outed himself as one of the corrupticrats of global good ole boys. I'm sorry to say I voted for the sob. Thank goodness the global cabal has been outing themselves at such a pace it's hard to keep up. But at least they are identifiable now. George Will, Erick Ericsson, Romney et al. Trump is far from perfect, but he is the nominee, and he is going to beat the she hag like a 100 year old rug. He has already been able to put a boot up her ass, and knock her around like one of her husbands victims, and "strangely" he is moving up in the polls. Trump has torn up her woman card and made her swallow the pieces. Ain't no way Mittens could do that. People of no discernment love them some happy family pictures, that's why politicians use them, but you are a fool if you think that means they care about you your family, and your kids.

Yes. It's been a long-standing issue. I saw the start of it, with every CO I'd go into combat with not selected for flag, and early emphasis on PC. NAVSEASYSCOM and BuPers both flamed out in the Clinton years. Those high operational years without a lot of funds drove many good people out of the service. Clinton did a lot of harm with selecting leaders that were not in the best naval traditions. The LCS debacle, and a lack of focus on relevant GMT shows the rot is deep. Just look at those three sequential command team in USS Cowpens. A goat rope would be a step up. Posted by: NaCly Dog at June 30, 2016 09:48 PM (hyuyC) 850
As for the whole Christian forgiveness thing with regard to Trump, I'm sort of agnostic.
The man seems to be a sort of secular type, which is fine as far as it goes. Frankly, his standing with the Almighty is no concern of mine, so long as he breaks the right heads. Machiavelli argues, persuasively, that it is profoundly selfish to care more for one's own soul than for the well-being of one's people and state. Trump strikes me as a somewhat less than moral man who has the potential to do great things, or at least to not do terrible things to this country. We could do worse, and have.

812 You said he has to find a way towards forgiveness.
Why? Who is supposed to forgive him? I answered that. His actions and his claim of Christianity are at odds. If he went to a group like last week with all these pastors and stuff and said something like "I lived a pretty bad lifestyle in the past, I even slept around on my wife. I got right with God about that and left it behind" that would make a huge difference with Christian voters. You know, instead of being gleeful about it and making cracks about how hot his daughter is. So would absolutely repudiating abortion, but he'll never do that.

819 I had an ahah moment about abortion yesterday while I was watching a movie about the Nazis (Conspiracy, 2001)
When they got into power in the 1930s they started passing laws that eventually led to euthanasia of disabled children (and then adults). There was really no way to fight against the evil laws - what was needed was to fight the Nazis themselves. The way to fight abortion is to fight the Left. Posted by: @votermom at June 30, 2016 09:38 PM (7lVbc) ============ I dont know about the English version but the original german film it is based on was filmed at the Wansee house.

It always bothered me when they described Heydrich as handsome. He was ugly. Beady little eyes. A forehead that extended to the back of his head.

And had little influence over the outcome. So that changed for a while there, and people started forgetting it wasn't always true. I still think Trump can win without a huge swath of several of the traditional Republican cohorts. I'm not necessarily predicting it, just saying it COULD happen. So anyone saying Trump NEEDS to do what the last several Republican nominees had to do is not only ignoring history, but also being silly, because... if no one has ever said this before, brace yourself, Trump ain't like any of the other last several R nominees.

I did not say many could have won the nomination.
I said that many could have beaten Hillary in the general. Two completely different constituencies. Two completely different modes. It's all academic because you have to win the nomination before you can enter the general. Take Jim Gilmore --- no way an obscure fellow like that could win the nomination. But I think he could beat Hillary. Posted by: Margarita DeVille at June 30, 2016 10:25 PM (T/5A0) Hillary and the MSM would have made mincemeat out of any of them. Unless you mean beating Hillary like with a baseball bat. For the record, I have no idea who Jim Gilmore is. Only you and his mama probably have ever heard of him. Hillary could just go to DC and await the inauguration. In any case, if you have the tactical/strategic sense to win the primary, HTF can you hope to win the general election? It's like saying you struck because they threw you a pitch you weren't prepared for. Hitting means adjusting to the pitch you get. Any asshole can hit a pitch he's expecting.

In fairness, you can also lose by losing. I wish I
was as sanguine about who the voters nominated to head the opposition party as some of you guys. To me, Trump's just a Liberal New York Republican. Sure, he's not a communist, but not much for me to get excited about. I don't get his appeal, and I actual went to one of hist first rallies. Posted by: Grump928(C) says Free Soothie!, with purchase of commenter of equal or greater value at June 30, 2016 10:25 PM (rwI+c) He's not a globalist, and right now the biggest danger to this country (aside from Hillary's Supreme Court picks) is the web of globalist entanglements that every administration since and including Bush Senior has gotten us tied down with. It's wrecked our economy and has us teetering on the brink of ruin. These people need to be defeated, and their attempts at eroding American sovereignty must be stopped. I get that he's not a moral sort of person. I get that he's kinda weak on just about every social issue there ever was. But if we don't win on the globalist issue, this country dissolves and becomes part of the North American Prefecture or whatever those megalomaniacal wankers want to call it, and we'll never have to worry about the other things ever again because there won't be a snowball's chance in hell that we'll have the power to do anything about them.

Children, of course, fantasize in this way too, minus the surrender part. They have faith in themselves, even if misguided. Romney, in politics, does not.

Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at June 30, 2016 11:02 PM (mBYZv) Cthulhu had some ideas the other night about a tricameral legislature, with a 3rd house of "responsibles", IE, the people who pay for all of this shit. Keep the House as it is, restore the Senate to pre-17th appointment by state legislatures, and for the new house... Cross reference land ownership, citizenship, and tax records. If you are a land-owning citizen and pay more in taxes than your household gets back in terms of government cheese, you're eligible to be conscripted for the 3rd house. Service is the national equivalent of Jury Duty. You get to suck it up and serve your term, then go home. The house that's paying for it would have special powers with regards to budgets, like making them if the House abdicates on its duty to do so, or vetoing them, or altering the deal and pray we don't alter it any further, or something like that.

Not saying it's a bad thing. Just observing the formula.

#1193 Expecting ANY president after 1973 to do anything about abortion was your first mistake.

He would have won? Does anyone actually believe this? He's a cross between Jeb and Rubio. And both of those guys lost to Trump really badly. Romney trotting out there again wouldn't have excited anybody and wouldn't have coalesced people against Trump any better than any of the others did. But we can certainly fantasize and wishcast about what we dream would have been.

Romney, now that's a belly laugh. NEWSFLASH: the National Review reports that the National Enquirer reports that the Daily Mail reports that Boris Johnson has decided to run on the republican ticket against Trump! :-)

Sorry Mitt post obama your now the wrong man for the job. America and the left have evolved into a totalitarian monster. You want to help the monster get back in shape not fight to stop it.

mitt would have lost again. He would have lost the primary just like the other 15 people because what he and the other 15 were trying to sell is not wanted by the GOP voters. If my some miracle he would have won the primary Mitt would have lost the general as Team Hillary would have painted him just like Obama's team painted him as an out of touch slightly racist white guy that hates women. Mitt being Mitt would not have fought back against this because the only time Mitt every fought some one was if they were a conservative running against him.

Deer Mittens: this thought process is a year too late. Unless you think you can pull off a coup at the GOP convention, you can't win. Even if you can pull off said coup, I'm doubtful you can win. I don't think you're mean enough for it. Posted by: I R A Darth Aggie at July 01, 2016 09:40 AM (1hM1d) 1205
If he does get in, then one of the key campaign messages must be that being successful in business and life isn't an epithet (as the Left did in 2012), it should be a qualification for higher office (as our sad history with the current president illustrates) ...

I think the window of opportunity has passed, and Mitt's irritated the snot out of me several times this year, but dang - given our current options, I'd be thrilled to vote for SOMEONE who doesn't make me long for SMOD.
