Romney’s severe disability is found in the Constitution: “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States.” Romney looks, acts, and thinks like an American noble, one who tragically cannot be made into a duke or earl. If America gave out titles, surely the Romneys would have received one or more by now. In such a world, Romney’s sense of duty, and the sense of deference in the public to excellence like his, would have provided him with suitable offices.
He is Mormon bishop so he could be addressed as Your Grace.
“The former governor of Massachusetts”
That should be enough of a warning.
That's precisely the reason why I couldn't stand the Kennedy family and the Bushes. They acted or act as though they're America's royalty entitled to high office, and that by implication we're their subjects.
Trump’s support for Romney follows his tactics to FLOOD the Swamp. No draining seen here.
“Romney is a misfit for America”
Maybe so, but don’t expend any of your valuable neurotransmitters between now and next January 3 fussing over it.
He might as well be sworn in right now.
I suspect Romney is already after Mitch’s job and then another run for POTUS.
Romney is a Satanist and cannot be trusted.
Remember his pathetic “campaign” against Obozzo ? He is a globalist loser
The author is far too nice. If Romney is the epitome of Utah conservatism we are in big trouble. Romney is about Romney. He was given a chance at leadership and couldn’t carry the ball all the way to the end zone. Less nicely put, he is a loser.
If he's the nominee you can be sure that his Rat opponent will be chanting exactly that 24/7.
Does Mittens have any opposition in the primary??
No mention in the NR article.
Trump has changed the game. He is smart and as transparent as a president can get. All of the future phonies running for president better get their game faces on.
Traditionally, Senators were supposed to be representative of their states, and not cut to fit one national mold.
Misfit for America, but hailed as the Bishop of UT: untouchable!
**Romney Is a Misfit for America**
I agree.
RUSH: I think now, based on the way the campaign has shaken out, that there probably is a candidate on our side who does embody all three legs of the conservative stool, and that’s Romney. The three stools or the three legs of the stool are national security/foreign policy, the social conservatives, and the fiscal conservatives. The social conservatives are the cultural people. The fiscal conservatives are the economic crowd: low taxes, smaller government, get out of the way.
Of course, the foreign policy crowd is obviously what it is. I don’t think there’s anybody on our side who doesn’t care about national security, which is why I found it amazing that McCain gets the bulk of those, because the idea that Romney or Huckabee are going to punt national security? In Huckabee’s case, you might just say the things he’s saying about it represent an ignorance born of inexperience in the subject. I don’t think Huckabee has any deleterious intentions about the country. When it comes to the fiscal side, you cannot say — you just cannot say — that John McCain is interested. He’s even admitted he’s not interested in the social side. He’s not interested in the economic side. He said this, and when he has spoken up about it, he sides more often with liberal Democrats on fiscal issues than he does with his own side. That’s problematic. This is why I think — and why I have said — that the Republican Party, not conservatism, but the Republican Party is in big trouble if it is empowered and gets elected by attracting people who also hold liberal Democrat views simply because they like McCain because of his character, his honor, his prisoner of war story, and they don’t like Hillary or Obama.
Romney is a menace. hated by the demorats for being a religious nutjob and the GOP for being a traitor to the causes, one would think he has nowhere to go. But, then there is Utah. Lovely place; sensible people? Not so much.
Opportunistic, self serving, chameleon....
