"Get The Gourmet Popcorn"
http://www.esquire.com/news-politics...-trump-speech/
Mitt was in rarefied form. He lit into poor old Donald Trump. He did not take three separate stances at once.
He was clear, concise. focused and all over my nightly news. This article is hot off the digital presses. enjoy!
“I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul
The Rich Kid Adventures of Donald and Willard By CHARLES P. PIERCE
MAR 3, 2016
"Far be it from me to minimize the entertainment value inherent in watching two legacy multi-millionnaires going to the mattresses, each trying to out Common Man the other in the public square. And let me also say in fairness that most of what Willard Romney said about He, Trump in his Declaration of Disapproval Thursday morning was smack on the button. This is the speech that will launch 1000 attack ads from now until the first week in November.
It doesn't matter that there is no empirical evidence that the vast majority of Republicans like Willard Romney any better than they liked him in November of 2012. That most of the other declared Republican candidates have been throwing this stuff at the frontrunner for a month now, to no appreciable effect, also is beside the point. Nobody until Willard this morning ever put it all into a coherent whole. The difference between what, say, Young Marco Rubio has been doing on the stump and what Willard did in Salt Lake City is the difference between birdshot and a bunker-buster. All that having been said, you will forgive me if I spend the rest of the afternoon luxuriating in the pure absurdity of it all."
Esquire sometimes has good articles in it. The above piece by Charles Pierce is an instant classic!
what if many voters go third party and the Electoral College splits 269 to 269 this fall? i wonder. some elections are close.
Great piece and spot on! Glad I read it, actually, and, honestly, I probably wouldn't have if you hadn't been posting about it in all the Mitt/Trump threads.
And so, on Thursday, we saw two remarkable political events. Willard Romney laid out in detail why Donald Trump never should be president of the United States and, in doing so, demonstrated why he never will be. If the best you can do for a nominee is He, Trump, and the best you can do for an opposition is Willard Romney, then maybe it's time to re-think this whole Republican party thing.

Honestly, people. If you can't see the humor in this, you're not having nearly enough fun in show business.

thanks! i usually don't read ESQUIRE.
Suuuurrrre.
just becuz i provided an ESQUIRE magazine link to a PG rated late~nite interview
where Marco Rubio explains 90s foam parties to Jimmy Fallon previous and prior to
this very witty short opinion piece is purely coincidental. again, its a pure fluke!!!
Jeez, you went there to read about a Rubio gay foam party and didn't bother to check out...
I'm not even gay and I looked.70 Ways the Women We Love Wore Their Summer Bikinis
i'm 60something and female. in my college days i admitted to reading Cosmopolitan Magazine.
i would read ESQUIRE when someone like William Buckley or Gore Vidal had articles in it. indeed.
http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...al-documentary Way way back in 1968 they had articles!
I heard that but I didn't believe it. Actually, Playboy used to have good articles. Back in the 1990's my boyfriend's (now my husband) roommate used to get them and I would read them occasionally.
Jeb Bush steps in after Mitt Romney as Florida looms
right now, if you add Cruz's delegates to Rubio's you end up with a total greater than Donald Trump's and the only way to break even
is if Donald Trump hands the veep position to John Kasick. its now or never.http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/...d-except-trump
"Jeb Bush is meeting with the three Republican presidential candidates seeking to take down front-runner
Donald Trump before Thursday's GOP debate, according to a new report. Bush is huddling with Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)
and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Ohio Gov. John Kasich before the Miami debate, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
The former Florida governor repeatedly clashed with Trump during his own GOP presidential campaign, which ended late
last month after disappointing results in early-voting states. Bush is meeting Rubio on Wednesday and speaking with Cruz
and Kasich on Thursday before the debate. It's unclear whether Bush will endorse a candidate before March 15, when both
Ohio and Florida vote in winner-take-all primaries, the Times said. Thursday’s debate is the twelfth and final contest of the
Republican presidential primary, airing from Miami that evening on CNN.
It marks a pivotal last-minute chance for the GOP contenders to sell themselves to Floridians before they cast votes on
March 15, awarding 99 delegates to their state’s primary winner. Trump leads the Republican presidential field by nearly
16 points in the Sunshine State, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls. Bush, meanwhile, suspended
his own Oval Office bid late last month after struggling for voter support despite his campaign’s vast fundraising and his
personal name value. He exited the White House race on Feb. 20 after a disappointing fourth place finish in South Carolina’s
GOP presidential primary. Reports emerged on late Tuesday that former President George W. Bush, Jeb Bush’s brother, has
no plans of issuing a presidential endorsement following his sibling’s departure from the race. Trump commands a roughly
14-point edge over his Republican presidential rivals nationwide, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls."

Esquire :
Romney trying to still be relevant . . . why ?Far be it from me to minimize the entertainment value inherent in watching two legacy multi-millionnaires going to the mattresses,
each trying to out Common Man the other in the public square.
From 2012 Rolling Stone :
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics...pital-20120829The incredible untold story of the 2012 election so far is that Romney's run has been a shimmering pearl of perfect political hypocrisy,
which he's somehow managed to keep hidden, even with thousands of cameras following his every move.
By selecting Ryan, Romney, the hard-charging, chameleonic champion of a disgraced-yet-defiant Wall Street,
officially succeeded in moving the battle lines in the 2012 presidential race.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Jan2017 again.
Yeah, what does that mean really . . . ? You don't like Rolling Stone political analysis (?) - they've often been pretty insightful, imo.
Way way back in 1994 when he ran for the senate up here,
he actually went to Teddy Kennedy's left a few times.
This fete is not impossible, but its sorta
difficult for a conservative...
the dudes at Rolling Stone published Hunter S. Thompson way way way
back in 1972 even though they were more potheaded than he was...
sometimes you read bizarre things inside that mag!
i am now watching our silver spoon ex-governor "Gentleman Mitt" debating in his minds eye
whether or not he should mudwrassle poor Donald Trump like as if he is a brighter version
of Florida gator. Mitt is actually not being a hypocrite. he usually spots the three or four
sides to an issue and happily takes them. i was in shock to hear him be so unconfused...
Last edited by Aratus; 03-10-2016 at 10:39 PM. Reason: Mitt Romney i think gave Marco Rubio more than half a nod
Mitt Romney is not a Bay State Liberal, he's a Bay State CENTRIST!
luv --- U need rep
This might be round three of the mud wrasslin' match
where we all see THE Mittster take on THE Trumpster!
Odds are... in less than two years time, CNN and C~SPAN3 will namedropthe dudes at Rolling Stone published Hunter S. Thompson way way way

Unionist ANDREW JOHNSON more than they do now, like if and/or WHEN
there is a long drawn out Senate Trial that examines casino gambling in NK
Mitt was a "waffler" . . . typified the term against Ron Paul in Iowa 2007 and 2008
or maybe the dolphin "Flipper"
so Utah wants THAT as a US Senator 'cause the billionaire bought a Utah polygamous ranch with binders of woman available (?)
Is the USA great or what ?

I say let him run.
Even if DJT put his expansion of bigly towers into NK on a back burner, things again got heated up!
Mike Pence has been extremely loyal to Donald Trump.
Yep.
Mitt finally has gotten to the U.S Senate.
He had tried to dislodge Teddy Kennedy.
