Romney,McCain speak out

[eddiew]

All of a sudden they got smart
If you needed any further evidence that this is a Republican primary without precedent, you got it on Thursday as the last two party nominees for president united in opposition to current frontrunner Donald Trump.

The fireworks began at the University of Utah, where 2012 nominee Mitt Romney dedicated a blistering, 20-minute assault on the real estate mogul. “He’s playing the American public for suckers,” Romney said. “He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president.”

Romney, who expressed interest in running this year before ultimately deciding that Jeb Bush and others had already shored up too much of the donor base, was uncompromising in his systematic takedown of Trump. Drawing on a quote from John Adams, Romney insinuated that a President Trump could lead to nothing less than the “suicide” of American democracy. He referred to Trump as a “fraud,” a “phony,” and a man whose hallmark was “dishonesty.”

He said that it was a mistake to believe that Trump was a successful businessman. “His bankruptcies have crushed small businesses and the men and women who worked for them,” Romney said. “He inherited his business, he didn’t create it. And whatever happened to Trump Airlines? How about Trump University? And then there’s Trump Magazine and Trump Vodka and Trump Steaks, and Trump mortgage? A business genius he is not.”

Referring to a 1997 interview Trump did on the Howard Stern show, where Trump joked that surviving the 1970s without getting an STD could be likened to his own “personal Vietnam,” Romney said, “There is dark irony in his boasts of his sexual exploits during the Vietnam War while John McCain, whom he has mocked, was imprisoned and tortured.”

McCain, who led the Republican Party in the battle against Barack Obama in 2008, was quick to agree with Romney’s assessment of Trump.

“I share the concerns about Donald Trump that my friend and former Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, described in his speech today,” said McCain. “I would also echo the many concerns about Mr. Trump’s uninformed and indeed dangerous statements on national security issues that have been raised by 65 Republican defense and foreign policy leaders.”

Neither Romney nor McCain went as far as to endorse another candidate, however. In fact, Romney’s speech seemed to indicate a strategy that involved keeping Trump away from the 1,237 delegates he needs to win the nomination using any means necessary. He called on voters to support whichever candidate had the best shot at beating him in any given state, a strategy that would likely lead to a contested convention in July. At that point, party officials could potentially award the nomination to literally anyone they wanted.

It’s not the first time that plan has been floated, but the drawbacks – even for those who despise Trump – are obvious. Republicans may not be thrilled with their frontrunner, but it would be suicidal to openly thwart the will of the voters. Even if Trump did not mount an independent run, his stalwart supporters may refuse to vote for a nominee crowned by the establishment. A Democratic victory in November would be nearly inevitable.

One thing that I have always found fascinating about a Trump Supporter. Donald Trump knows how important the Latino vote is for the Republican nominee to winning the White House, but apparently his supporters don't. Trump blasted Republicans in 2012 for losing, citing it was because they were too mean spirited toward illegals. He's right!The debate platform in 2012 was loaded with anti-immigration talk and deportation also.

The last Republican to win was G.W. Bush, he captured 44% of this block, Romney lost by only getting 27%.

This year the Republican nominee needs 46% of this block to win the White House. Trump is polling at an historic 80 % with Latino's. Even Republican Latino voters stated months ago they wouldn't support a Trump nominee. Latino voters represent 17% of the population or 23 million voters are now solidly in Hillary Clinton's column.

So a question for you Trump supporters: What candidate goes into a race to win an election, and does the exact opposite of what he said went wrong with an election just 3-1/2 years prior? Is this a candidate that is trying to win an election, or rather a candidate that is trying to drive it into someone else's lap?

Maybe a lot of you should consider what that phone call was about between Donald Trump & Bill Clinton, just prior to Trump announcing his candidacy.
We all know that republicans speak out of both sides of their mouths Drumpf is a true republican

Romney and McCain attempted to win the White House by pretending to be Obama light candidates to attract independents and democrats, they got their asses handed to them.

Trump is attracting democrats and independents by booting out the illegals, bringing jobs back to America, and getting rid of these crap trade deals and it pisses off McCain and Romney that its working.

I'm betting you were 100% behind these "two RHINOS" and heaped praise on them every chance you got when they were running for president.

Hell no. Romney ran the worst campaign ever. Second to only McCain's. I backed them only because I believed Obama would swing uber hard left when he seized power which he did.

No he didn't. He didn't swing "uber hard left", nor did he "seize" anything. He was elected,
