Huh. Simple question: who has better character: Trump or Romney?
Rush seems to accept that Trump doesn’t have great character. Well, who the hell is he to judge?
Trump voters.
Men who follow Joseph Smith ought not bring up the matter of character.

6 MINUTE CHAT ON ROMNEY by BRENT BOZELL & LEVIN
Surfing YouTube one night before drifting off at 3 am for my now customary 5 hours of sleep, I stumbled across this Mark Levin interview with Brent Bozell.
The entire 40 minutes is more than worthy of your attention and if you’re as tight on time as I am, boot it up and let it run in the background as you do other computer stuff.
That said, I sent this for the highly informative 6+ minute discussion between 4:20 and 10:40 of soon-to-announce GOP candidate MITT ROMNEY for whom I also voted in 2012 ONLY because he wasn’t obozo.
This guy is a opportunistic political/ideological chameleon! On the billboard in the background in the accompanying graphic, I call him the Kama sutra of politicians. That’s actually understatement.
This guy has become a Trojan Horse of the Deep State for the sole purpose of TAKING OUT DONALD TRUMP so they (the Dems, RINOs and other beneficiaries of the massive corruption in that swamp) can RESUME BUSINESS AS USUAL!
Listen to Brent’s spot-on analysis of Romney and decide for yourself if trading Trump for this guy is a good idea.

(And, though they’ve left it up, YouTube DOES NOT want you to watch that video. I went to my History and it wasn’t there. I had to do a search to relocate it. Might want to copy the link if you want to share it between now and the 2020 election.)
Not terribly familiar with Smith or the Mormon religion. Please enlighten me. I know about the polygamy stuff. Is there something else?
I heard it this afternoon. One of the best riffs from RL in a long time. He dissected how completely out of touch and irrelevant they are
I was listening during Rushs show. I dont think he meant Trump doesnt have character. Rather DJT knows hes not a saint and is comfortable with that. I am not a saint either, cant go back and change that. Im willing to try and get better. Im a Trumper because I feel like he loves his country and is working hard in his way to make it better. Is he perfect no, would I trust him with my wife and daughter yes. Crazy uncle Joe, not so much.
Trump has exposed the elitists in both parties that believe their superiority entitles them to tell us how we should live and what our values should be. Theyre wrong; as wrong as the king of England was, and as wrong as the Axis Powers were. Americans demand and absolutely require the right to govern ourselves. Thats what Trump gives us that the elites cant grasp.
Sometimes people who come across as ‘paragons of virtue’ are simply timid people who never truly plunged in and lived life. When you plunge in, you make mistakes, you fall down sometimes and have to get up again.
If all you do is pussyfoot around the edges, always careful, always looking over your shoulder - you may appear to be some kind of paragon; but you’ll never be great or do great things.
Romney has character? He accepted Trump’s endorsement. Then right after he is sworn in he attacks Trump. That’s a low life move. If he had character, he would have refused Trump’s endorsement BEFORE the election, so voters could have considered that he was an enemy of Trump.
Low life backstabber.
That one is easy.
Romney is a deep state criminal (and was a bad governor in part because he got elected by misleading, instead of sticking to his promises), despite his moral preening.
Trump’s not a saint in his personal life, but I take his character over Romney’s in a heartbeat.
If you sit on your arse and spout virtue no one sees mistakes you make because you never do anything. Get dirty, work, risk, and fall, then get up and get back in to the fight and people never doing anything point at your mistakes. You are very right. We dont need paragons. We need patriots, a Wall, and DJT no matter a few human character issues. Trump is so much better than those opposing him, I believe Rush was just amplifying the obvious to those a little slow on the up take.
I think you’re exactly right.
Thats it in a nutshell. Trump fights and the rest of em just talked about it.
NeverTrumpers never wanted to fix anything, ever. That requires work and they wont do work and know no one who will. Implementation of anything they claim to want is actually counterproductive, because it would eliminate the ability to talk about how virtuous it would be to have that concept implemented.
NeverTrumpers are repulsed by anyone who actually could stoop to do. They use the opportunity to sneer they could have done better, but it is only posing. But they look credible when posing because they have spoken of dozens of virtuous concepts over time and none were able to be implemented. If one got properly implemented, people would then wonder why more werent implemented, and that would mean a lot more work would have to be done, which they dont want to have to do.
They bring down doers because they make the posers look incompetent.
Excellent analysis by Rush. (Best political analyst bar none!)
“In fact, I would go so far as to say that a lot of Trump voters find his character, his tweeting and his direct, on-point talk at people as part of his virtue. The guy’s willing to say it like it is. The guy’s willing to get outside the normal political boundaries and call these people out, and we’ve been wanting that. And not to be gratuitously attacking, just tell the truth about it to people. To some people this is a character virtue. It isn’t a defect.”
Count me in that group. A kick-ass type of guy is exactly what we needed at this time... cause there are a lot of asses that need kicking.
Posers vs doers is a great way to frame it. The Romney vs Trump issue is a perfect example.
Will one keep on trying to learn a better way? One wallowing in pugnaciousness will eventually find himself unsuited for a better age.
