So why would he, suddenly, be laying it out on the table? I think he's playing people. His supporters need to have more faith in him.
Sooo... double down on a bad hand?

Brilliant.

He's laying it out there. He likes to pretend that running the US is a reality show. He has sullied the office of President of the United States with his insipid Twitter rants.

He's disgusting.

I guess keep right on hoping, but I can tell you now that he's not going to get better. Just worse.

Romney is certainly a better man and a statesman. Why bother with working for a con man?

Where was the "win" here?
We have no idea if he will cut it or not yet.

I wouldn't say it's zero credibility....yet anyway. If he can pull his charm with world leaders as much as it works for him personally, then I'd rather him be on our side other than the other way around.

None of the stuff you posted are near as bad as the comments that Romney made about Trump. Never mind that Clinton and Obama were running against each other while Romney's comments weren't a part of his own campaign.

Then of course Trump called Romney the biggest loser or some such. Perhaps if they really don't mean those things, they shouldn't say those things.

Correct.

Good post.

It's in a lot better shape than it was when Obama took office. I realize that economic anxiety (among other things) got Trump elected, but Obama inherited the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression.

Does this mean you prefer Giuliani to Romney?

So we got into 5 wars because our diplomats are too nice to people?


Is there something wrong with you I should know about before I waste any more of my time?

Being that we are now in 5 wars, I disagree. We left crap and entered into more crap.

No, both are equally as bad. But you probably knew that before asking.

You can come to whatever conclusion you want. What we have been doing is not working so the answer is not to look to those who are a part of the political establishment.
