Romney says he laughs at term ‘America first’
The Hill ^ | 05/17/2024 | FILIP TIMOTIJA

Posted on 05/17/2024 9:29:20 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said he laughs at the term “America first,” an increasingly common phrase heard in the Republican Party regarding U.S. foreign policy that he finds “disorienting.”

Romney said during an interview with MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle” earlier this week that growing isolationism in the GOP is “unimaginable” considering its past leaders, like former Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, as well as former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

Romney argued the term, popularized by former President Trump, “flows” in from talk radio and TV, where “outrageous” things are embraced by the party’s base.

I think people are finally realizing that it is WORSE to have your own people implement the Leftist agenda, rather than having the Left do it.

When Labour gets there in the UK, people are going to see that it is actually a more centrist positioning than the Tories. Just like Chretien was a more centrist acting than Mulroney/Campbell.

And frankly, Clinton vs Bush 1.0

Very unusual for a first-term Senator, not to run again. I think they had something on this POS

Yeah, like border enforcement (and law enforcement in general). Outrageous, eh Willard?

Based on what I now understand about Mitt, the man, I am not at all surprised he would say this. This Globalist, this One-Worlder, is the real Mitt and always has been. Back in 2012, I didn’t realize it. Would never have believed it.

It is interesting how George Romney was turned into a hero by TPTB for what he did with - or to - Rambler and the associated badges. "Well, it was a tough job, but it had to be done and he..." yada, yada.

Romneys take care of Romneys.

Romney dodged the draft during VN by getting five marriage, educational, and missionary deferments so I guess he has never put America First.

How many billions upon billions have the taxpayers of this country wasted on “assisting” foreign countries,

"Foreign Aid" has always been a money laundering scheme. Its purpose is to enrich rats.

McRomney is the epitome of the liberal establishment GOP and everything that is wrong with and killing the Republican brand. I can’t turn the other way and hold my nose and vote for these leftist horses rear ends the Republicans trot out as “conservatives”. They are freaking liberals on everything except taxes when it comes time to vote on the issue.

The GOP has to make some 180 turns in voting behavior or they are doomed after Trump leaves the scene. Aside from DeSantis and Paul they offer nothing but Little Me-Me liberal lite Democrats and I’m not voting for that anymore, I’m not doing, it, they have to earn my vote with their votes, not their empty promises.

I love how he includes Reagan, whose motto was "Let's Make America Great Again"

Source: Business Insider: 1980: Ronald Reagan — Let's Make America Great Again

RONALD REAGAN Campaign Poster PHOTO  (176-O) - Picture 1 of 1

Note I couldn't use the picture at the source because it is a Getty image

So I grabbed a similar one from Ebay, but the link above takes you to the source Business Insider.

Because with Romney, it’s always been “Me, Myself and I.”

He's too stupid to realize the last three names are not popular these days. He might be the most despised douchebag out of all of them. You know the world is rigged when a moron like Mitt makes millions of dollars.

America laughs at Romney, that he thought he should be president.

“..What a total slime ball, dirt bag, back-stabbing, low-IQ turd all rolled up into one.....”

I guess that’s why Taxachusetts loved him so much that they elected him governor once upon a time...
