Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney has decided to associate himself closely with Donald Trump, a massive mistake!
Trump is an arrogant, condescending jerk, and unfortunately, Mitt Romney already comes across as an arrogant, condescending individual, leaving out the word “jerk”!
Trump is now promoting the “Birther” idea anew, that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii, and Romney spokesmen say that does not mean that Romney endorses what Trump is promoting.
But it is not that easy, as the old saying is that we are “judged by the company we keep.”
There is no way that allying with Trump helps Romney, and one wonders why he cannot see that.
All the connection does is promote the idea of one very rich man supporting another very rich man, with neither having a clue as to the struggles of everyday Americans in the midst of the recovery from the Great Recession!
Romney is casting his lot with a notorious publicity seeker, and will be held accountable for whatever Trump says as his surrogate during the next five months.
And one can be sure that IF Romney somehow wins, the “friendship” between Romney and Trump will deteriorate, and Romney will come to rue the day that he decided to associate so closely with the man who, for anyone who is sane, comes across as a clown!
The kicker is that Romney is using Trump as a “prize”. For those who donate at least $3 to his campaign on-line, they will be be eligible to win a dinner with “The Donald” and get a tour of the boardroom of “The Apprentice”.
That’s like the old joke, “First prize winner doesn’t have to have dinner with “The Donald”. 2nd prize winner has to have dinner with Trump.
Since when did Presidential campaigns become lotteries?. The Obama campaign is doing the same, although the winner gets a dinner with some Hollywood celebrity. I think that “trumps” the “Donald” every time.
I heard someone on MSNBC refer to Trump as a hairy white man bully (the subject was the Obama’s birth) and I thought that was a good fit.
As far as Romney holding hands with Trump…..I say let it be! Trump is such a colossal idiot. He and Mitt will complement one another LOL!
Hello Professor,
Mitt and “The Donaldâ€â€¦.there is a formula for an implosion. There is no way that embracing “The Donald†and touting him as an asset will help Mitty. It is well noted that the Independents and Moderates (Republicans and Democrats) are going to be the deciding factor in this election.
Those who believe and are a fan of the political slop that “The Donald†shovels, would never vote for President Obama in the first place…..so what did Mitty gain by putting his arm around “The Donald?†Not a Damn Thing!
Maggie,
Any one who refers to Donald Trump as “hairy”, needs to ask to see a “Certificate of Authenticity”. The only thing hairy about Trump is his so-called “ideas”.
Romney is just dumb..the independents do like Trump and he is hurting himself even more..he alreadty is in electoral vote trouble and this will not help…OBAMA will get re-elected anyway,but adding trump makes it easier
