| Romney Says He's No Longer 'Part of The Republican Establishment' | |
| 2019-08-22 | |
MittRomney ...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. He is currently a senator from Utah, a member of the Never Trump Party... on Monday described himself as a "renegade Republican" and said that he is "not part of the Republican establishment these days." "Courageous, I'm like the pasty Spartacus" In a wide-ranging speech at the Sutherland Institute, a conservative think tank in Salt Lake City, Utah’s junior senator argued against "socialist" proposals being discussed on the Democratic presidential debate stage such as "Medicare for All" and free college tuition. He also lamented that "neither party is interested in talking about the debt and the deficit."

| #20 Speaking of Obama, did anyone think it interesting that the first film he produced for Netflix was about a Chinese company owning and running a US factory in the US? Granted I haven't seen the thing, just heard synopsis but I thought it was interesting. |

| #19 Actually, his problem is that he is part of the Republican establishment. The real one, not the Fake Opposition Washington Generals one. |

| #14 I would like to think that the Republican establishment has changed that much. Romney hasn't. But the truth is that he is very much still one of them, and they are very much still around. |

| #13 Squishy Mitt Romney is a RINO as is Paul Ryan. These NeverTrumpers may have moved from RINO to full blown Dem. |

| #11 Odd that he was governor of Massachusetts, then he bought a big, fancy place in La Jolla (wealthy community in San Diego) and now he's the junior senator from Utah. I understand about the Mormon connection but still, I didn't think the people of Utah would cotton to carpet baggers. |

| #8 Et tu, Brute? ..Brutus is an honorable man. Hopefully, the electorate in Utah will remember the duplicitous behavior unlike their Arizona counterparts. |
