“The
degree of difficulty
in Romney's dive last night was greater than a reverse 4½ somersault
in tuck position. Stunning flipflop” -
November 30th
tweet by ABC News analyst Matthew Dowd on Mitt Romney's
complete Donald Trump attitude reversal
When you're a
President-elect billionaire—and the world literally is your
oyster—what's wrong with a little payback as political sport?
Perhaps some subtle score settling for a willing
dupe with a history of being manipulated
by Democrats? Therefore, what's more fitting than to have this
outspoken naysayer publicly humiliate himself with his smirking
flip-flopping?
A delicious fate
for Mitt
Romney: a modern-day GOP Benedict
Arnold. In retrospect, was his blistering rant criticizing Mr.
Trump last March actually Shakespearean jealousy for a man who
ultimately
accomplished what he failed to achieve in 2012? To this end,
Mitt acknowledged:
“By the way, it’s not
easy winning. I know that myself. He did something I tried
to do and was unsuccessful in. He won the general election and he
continues with a message of inclusion and bringing people together,
and his vision is something which obviously connected with the
American people in a very powerful way.”
Actually, anyone
familiar with winning knows it's easy. It's the losing
part—holding grievances—that's tough (ask
Hillary!). In this light, publicly condemning Mr. Trump as a
“phony,” a “con man” and a “fake” sounds like
self-serving sour
grapes. Without a shred of proof, how is Mr. Romney disloyalty
to the person who became the voters' choice not character
assassination?
Ah, the difference
eight months and an election make. Today, this brown-noser finds Mr.
Trump's dining company to be “enlightening and interesting and
engaging.” This dynamic proves that red meat at dinner (in the
come-on chance to become Secretary of State) has attracted from the
woodwork Mr. Trump's most pesky political housefly. Now, it's sweet
revenge to hear Mr. Romney buzzing a radically different tune: that
of The Donald's
praises.
Out of touch,
two-faced
Romney epitomizes establishment
Republicans: the polished, weak willed status quo. He's another
creature
of Washington: precisely what Mr. Trump ran against. Therefore,
it's sheer folly for anyone to believe Mitt's in serious contention
for anything besides further disappointment. In fact, on the
campaign trail, Mr. Trump declared:
“I said the guy is a stone cold
loser, he choked and when you're a choker, you can never
give a choker a second chance. It's too important. A
choker is a choker.”
With such a
pressing need for a new
beginning for the country, why would Mr. Trump hamstring himself
with someone he views in this way? Mr. Romney's failed track record
in 2008—as well as his unsubstantiated Trump criticisms in
2016—cannot be disregarded. It's obvious Donald Trump doesn't
suffer losers or fools—beyond perhaps toying with them a bit.
Therefore, logically, this holiday season sycophants
like Romney top Santa's naughty list. That roster doesn't
include the next Secretary of State.
