An instinctive politician would have take Obama down. But Romney was a trained seal whose trainers jerked the invisible leash connected to the collar around his neck. At least that is how I saw his reaction.

There are important differences. Remember that last time Romney was the presumptive nominee straight out of the box. It was his nomination to lose.
1) Cruz is more difficult to marginalize.
2) The conservative vote was divided among 8 candidates last time. This time Cruz is the clear conservative leader.
3) The moneyed interests are just beginning to rally around Christie. This is relatively late in the game.
4) Christie will be competing with Rubio and Ryan for the RINO vote. Cruz will only be competing with Paul.
Can we start some effort to have this guy deported back to Mexico?
Romney can never be taken at face value, he wanted to do as president what he did as a failed one-term governor.
“At a 2008 event in New Hampshire, Romney was asked by a voter, “You supported national healthcare in Massachusetts. Are you going to do the same thing on a national?” His response: “Absolutely, I’ve already put a plan out. Take a look at it. Get on my website, take a look.”
Voter: “We are trying to get a 100% health care for all Americans.”
Romney: “Me too, that is what my plan does.””
I heard this all before, Palin was a sure thing, a sure thing.
I think Mitts point all along was that the states are all experimental in nature under the US constitution.
PA has different laws than Tx.
I have no fundamental issue with that, but this article says he has changed his tune.
He has been steady on states rights forever, even if we disagree with what Ma of Ca want, they can do as they wish, under the US constitution.
What they may NOT do is foist their crap on the rest of the country.
Socialist/statist bastard!
Well...we had better have a Ted Cruz then, unless they fixed that cluster of a primary problem! Regardless, we need Cruz type this time.
Who takes any politician at face value?
Hey.
I voted for Ted Cruz 3 times to get him to the Senate, and the guy has been fearless.
You can't be serious, she has been carrying the burden for the last five years.
Look at your own tag line, during the Romney/GOPe debacle of 2012, governor Palin gave us not only Senator Ted Cruz, but also our only Senate seat pick-up by defeating Senator Bob Kerry.
The keyword “replace” should have raised some red flags. Hey Mitt, replace Obamacare with what? RomneyCare?
Since Romney is the sleaziest of the sleaziest, and the most two faced republican we have ever seen, then you can apply that to him in spades.
BTW
Ted Cruz makes Rinos queasy.
That is why they are fighting him so hard and why Ted has an up hill battle.
The good news is he has resonated with independents.
The Bad news is all the old players are gagging him in the past month.
Shaddup and eat your peas, Mittens.
Sarah Palin did not cast one vote for Ted Cruz.
I did.
And I voted for Sarah as well, but she seems to have lost her heart for office.
I guess Obama is preferable.
You gotta take your openings where you can.
Do you suppose Romney would have been more receptive to Ted Cruz’s than Obama?
I personally do.
That is why I question this report from “The New American”
I got well over a dozen voters (who normally don’t bother with primaries) to get out and vote for Cruz against Dewhurst in the primary, and THE selling point that sold them was Palin’s endorsement for Cruz.
A totalitarian is a totalitarian is a totalitarian.
