It's Tuesday - How Many Principles Has Willard Romney Abandoned Today?

He's A Man of Principle, that Willard "Mittens" Romney!

Thank you Mr. President for the support. I hope that over the course of the campaign I also earn the support and endorsement of the people of Utah.

Now, a refresher:

If Trump had said 4 years ago the things he says today about the KKK, Muslims, Mexicans, disabled, I would NOT have accepted his endorsement

Mittens' opponent kicks him where his nuts should be:

So why did you accept it today?https://t.co/aE6NdMd1nW

Mittens, the same person later who ran against his own health care insurance achievement in Massachusetts, the "compassionate conservative" who later called for "self- deportation" by immigrants, the pro- choice governor who later became "pro- life", the gun control advocate who later opposed gun control legislation (including banning assault rifles -- you mean ol' flip flop Mittens?

wait wait wait Mitt Romney abandoned his principles?

Because of what's in their DNA, the mainstream media will gravitate toward Mittens as a "moderate Republican" counterweight to un- indicted co- conspirator Donald "Rump" Trump.  If he wins (and Rump is still in office a year from now), he will be casting his Senate votes 90+ percent for Rump and the Republican agenda.  He'll only be putting a chiseled face on the same destructive, dishonest, rotted- out Republican party that owes its allegiance to Rump. He's nothing but an ambitious, towering phony -- but the media will eat it up.

Unfortunately but not surprisingly, Mittens has a wide lead over Wilson in the polls in deep red Utah.  But if more people can be reminded what an empty suit he is and what a good candidate Wilson is ... maybe, just maybe.  If you're so inclined, here's Jenny Wilson's website.

Mittens Takes The Gloves Off

Earlier today, perennial Presidential candidate and champion of the 1% Willard "Mittens" Romney announced that he would be a candidate for the Rethuglican nomination for Senate in his home state of Massachusetts Michigan Colorado California  Cayman Islands Utah. If elected in that red state, Mittens would replace desiccated old Sen. Orrin "Nuthatch" Hatch, the soulless coot who wants to make Rump's corrupt presidency the greatest ever.  Hatch leaves some mighty small shoes for Mittens to fill.

In his video announcement, Mr. "Corporations Are People, My Friend" took jabs at the toxic "Washington culture" and at Rump, specifically for his position on immigration. Given his generally bad relationship with Rump, whom he once called a "phony, a fraud and a con man," Mittens may prove to be an occasional foil to Rump, something that Rump apparently feared when he desperately tried to get his fan Hatch to run for reelection. Best case scenario: he challenges Rump in 2020 and splits the Rethuglican / New Confederate / Massacre Party. Too early, but no harm in hoping.
