Losers gonna lose
[Daily Wire] Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) criticized President Donald Trump on Sunday for not yet conceding the election and entertaining what he described as "nutty and loopy" conspiracy theories about it.
The poor man understands hard work and making sacrifices, but hs no concept of fighting for something. At this point President Trump may or may not win through to reelection, but he is fighting to make future elections possible.
Speaking with CNN host Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," Romney maintained that not only are Trump's attempts to overturn the election doomed to failure, but that they are tarnishing the last days of his presidency.

"It's really sad in a lot of respects and embarrassing because the president could, right now, be writing the last chapter of this administration with a victory lap with regards to the vaccine," said Romney. "After all, he pushed aggressively to get the vaccine developed and distributed. That's happening on a quick time frame."

"He could be going out championing this extraordinary success, and instead, he's leaving Washington with a whole series of conspiracy theories and things that are so nutty and loopy that people are shaking their head wondering what in the world has gotten into this man? I think that's unfortunate because he has more accomplishments than this last chapter suggests he's gonna be known for," Romney added.

#9  He's a bright guy. Private equity's not an easy path.

But he made his money by manipulating the tax cide'a preferential treatment of debt and giveaways for @carried interest."

In the same way, he's made his political career by manipulating the Republican party's favorable treatment of RINOs and NeverTrumpers.

It's not his work ethic that's in question but his moral ethos.

#8   When has Romney ever worked hard for anything?

He was at Harvard working on both a law degree and an MBA at the same time, during which time his wife had the first two or three of their large brood.

#6  Yeah, so everyone should cave like Romney did in the 2012 debates? Romney is in the tradition of John McCain, Jeff Flake, Ben Sasse and other RINOS.

#5  Or you, Mitt, could be championing his extraordinary success, instead of (further) tarnishing your reputation by bashing the man with the accomplishments.

#2  Why does that slob have an "R"? In fact, he's more of an "I" than Bernie Sanders, who is a down-right "S".

#1  When has Romney ever worked hard for anything? He wins elections on the basis of his religion, and his wealth almost certainly comes from taking part in the corruption he swims in.
