Excellent!
A great letter, Jeff and thanks for posting it.
The words in Romney’s speech and the constant battering and belittlement of Donald Trump were not only bad but uncalled for.
However the thing that bothered me most were his grins in places that showed he was thoroughly enjoying it and savoring the “gotcha” element that he was being cute.
It was a reflection of his lack of character in my view.
Cruz has the sociopolitical doctrines down right, but doesn’t have the “get it done” credentials Trump has.
Trump is rough, crude & imperfect, but he knows how to get $#!^ done on a multi-billion-dollar scale and despite fierce opposition.
Yeah, Trump is an a$$hole. Some of ‘em know how to get stuff done, and if we don’t get federal spending fixed and some key dictators beaten back into their holes, doctrine isn’t going to matter.
And yes, it’s possible to support both Trump _and_ Cruz. I voted Cruz, and seem to spend a lot of time defending Trump.
Simply put: if we don’t get government spending below revenue soon, we’re gonna have a civil war. Cruz will make a laudable attempt; Trump can make it happen.
Come on guys.
It’s fine to pick your horse in this race.
Cruz is mine.
But these are ther preliminaries and the main event is coming.
when that time comes...do not get so worked up on either side that you lose site of the real goal.
Four or Republic, for our kids, for our grandkids, we simply have to defeat Hillary or sanders.
Cruz or Trump would be immeasurably better than either of those two.
The GOPe has lost site of that...and are showing it to the world openly.
The Romney attack-Trump speech we just witnessed was the big kickoff of the GOPe’s last-gasp get-Trump campaign that we all knew was coming.
The GOPe get-Trump committee got together in secret over the last few days and wrote this speech and got Romney to read it for them because they knew Romney still had the gravitas to get broadcast on all the news channels for free.
As Breitbart.com said today, Romney is the hill that the GOPe chose to die on. Either this speech 1.) helps Trump because the GOPe’s out-of-touch attack on the GOP’s leading candidate supported by the largest number of rank-and-file voters is simply more gasoline dumped on nearly 20 years of already red-hot anger, thus further propelling Trump towards being the GOP nominee, in which case the entire GOPe lobbyist, special interests, consultant class complex dies; or 2.) this last-gasp GOPe attack hurts Trump, leading to a brokered convention with some loser the rank-and-file voters hate, leading to a Hillary victory and the loss of the Senate and House as the rank-and-file GOP voters finally say enough is enough and stay home, culminating in the final, permanent, destruction of the U.S. Constitution when Hillary appoints Barrack Hussien Obama as Antonin Scalia’s replacement. This lose-lose position taken by the GOP aristocracy is typical behavior by the Stupid Party, unlike Trump’s positions where he wins with nearly any outcome, as explained by “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kydKTVLmP58&feature=youtu.be.
Romney’s get-Trump speech has finally laid naked for all to see that the Democrat party aren’t the REAL enemy of the people, instead the REAL enemy is the fake opposition party to the Democrats. The Democrats no longer pretend to be what they are not: they now overtly campaign as the party of national socialism, period. The Democrats have also repeatedly demonstrated that they are willing to sacrifice their individual members to advance their socialist agenda, e.g., Obamacare cost them the House and the Senate. The GOPe is willing to sacrifice nothing.
The GOPe is interested in nothing but keeping their own gravy trains chugging along. And thus with Romney’s get-Trump speech, we all have proof positive of what we’ve known all along: the GOPe is nothing but the minority partner of the Uniparty, but that’s quite good enough thank you very much, just so long as their gravy trains keep pulling into the hog trough station, loaded with all of those free shrimp cocktails and caviar at the posh gala D.C. soirées, free jet trips around the world, free five star hotel living, free five star restaurant dining, and free skybox seats at the major league sporting events, all paid for by the peasants and lobbyists.

Finally, one of the most interesting aspects to Romney’s get-Trump speech is that it was even necessary, because the GOPe as stupid as it is, did at least realize that neither Cruz nor Rubio had the chops to take Trump out, necessitating the GOPe to step in and bail them out. It’s too bad Romney never attacked Obama the way he attacked Trump, but then again, clearly Romney finds Obama associate, criminal and traitor Hillary Clinton more acceptable than GOP leader Donald Trump. And one final thing worth noting is that the GOPe finds Cruz, Rubio and Kasich perfectly acceptable to them; Trump is the only one they are scared of, Trump is the only one they feel they cannot control, Trump is the only one who is not a member of The Club, Trump is the only man of the people. Trump is simply unacceptable to the true enemy of the people: the GOPe aristocracy.
those two supposedly irreverent, profane, no good guys at that remote location.
Jeff, we out here in the hinterlands call people like that “the salt of the earth”. The vast majority of the “great unwashed” in this country are people such as this.
Well said, Jeff.
Romney made a fool of himself four years ago, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I was embarrassed for him today seeing his little act. What a putz.
They do not get what is happening...and they are so engrossed in their own trappings of power that they are blind to it.
What they did today will only stoke the flames of this fire storm higher.
Yes...it will most definitely, IMHO< backfire on them.
They are, simply put, trying to subvert the will of the people and force the race to a brokered convention so that THEY can pick the candidate.
That’s all most people need to know. Most Americans will tell them exactly what they can do with that.
“The GOPe just does not get what is happening...and I honestly believe that their blinders are so tightly affixed and so thick, that they never will.”
Exactly right! Your open letter is spot-on and very kind. These sorts have done nothing to be deserving of such kindness and respect. I believe God has been calling out to them, and your letter is more evidence of such. Their failure to not only listen, but to continue to elevate themselves in each other’s eyes, patting each other on the back with each new insult and attack on We the People, will not go unnoticed from God’s eyes. The pain and suffering they have caused millions of Americans, despite the countless letters and pleas from the very people they were supposed to represent, is going to be their downfall. And the fall from the lofty heights they have raised themselves up to, is gonna hurt like nothing they’ve experienced ever before.
Bravo for the great letter.

Ping for later. You usually have something good to say.
Mitt Romney? Isn’t that the guy Trump has been calling “dumb”, “incompetent” and a “loser” for the last year? The one with the “mean-spirited” and “dumb” self-deportation immigration policy? Are you really surprised and shocked that he finally responded? You think that he should have just shut his mouth after all the ridiculous attacks Trump the liar and con man has launched FIRST against him?
My open letter to Mitt...
Dear Mitt,
Why don’t you put on a skirt and heels and take a walk downtown with the other phony whores?
Thx Jeff, Mitt reached a new low, and he is a stooge for the republican elite.
Sorry Jeff Head,
This reply was meant to go to you.
Bravo for the great letter.

Exactly.
Good to the core...and they would drop what they are doing and come help.
I would trust my life in their hands (and in our job, sometimes we literally did).
Look, I try not to use bad language...but I am not going to pitch a heart of gold over a cliff because of a a habit like that.
Those who would...miss the mark. And they miss it by a mile.
Romney’s speech today simply stoked the flames of the insurgency against the GOPe all the higher.
Great letter, thanks for posting.
Romney’s letter was so out of character for this timid, weak man, I think someone else wrote it. I almost got whip lash from his head going back and forth on the teleprompter. I didn’t realize he was that stupid. Just a bunch of insults and lies are easy to remember if you wrote them yourself. Sounded like something crazy Glenn Beck wrote. What Romney’s attack piece proved to me is he’s jealous of Trump because Trump has more money and is appealing to segments of voters who’ve not voted republican in 30 years. Romney sees the numbers turning out to vote for Trump and for that he hates him. Romney’s day in the spotlight is over and he’s mad.
That is just how we feel, all of us, whether we are Cruz fans, or Trump fans, we don't have a party anymore, we have ‘clowns’ running our government, and thank you Jeff for writing this!!!
Will Romney read it, I could care less if he does or doesn't because honestly, his opinion doesn't matter to me one bit...he had his chance and he blew it....
I am a 100% Trump supporter, work on the Trump Campaign and I have been 100% for Trump from June 2015 because he speaks what I see and feels, and he talks ‘to’ us and not ‘at’ us!!!
