Trump & Romney

Who saw that coming? I honestly wonder if its going to work out in the end or if the big T is going to end up biting off more than he can chew. Personally I can not stand Romney.

Trump and Romney are cut from the same cloth so I am sure they will get along famously. Romney needs to learn to think before he speaks his latest flub with the "I'm not concerned with poor people" was a biggie. Now that he and Trump are all buddy buddy I am sure Romney will have unlimited funds to blast the airwaves with "I care about everyone" messages.

Read the whole thing, not just that line. He's not concerned because of the safety net of welfare, food stamps, etc. and if their is something wrong with the net he will fix it. He is more concerned with the middle class , because they are the ones in danger right now.

Oh, I read the whole thing, but that IS the sound bite that will haunt him for the rest of the campaign. Between that and thinking that people who aren't wealthy are just "jealous" of what the super rich have acquired he's doing a fine job...of getting Obama re-elected. There is nothing he can do to make himself more palatable to a large percentage of the voters. He is just too rich, and too out of touch with "normal" people. The same problem most of our politicians have.

Very interesting how Too Rich was never an issue with Roosevelt, the Kennedys, LBJ, John Kerry, the Bush's or any of the rest. And the only reason we know how much wealth he has is because he pays his taxes, his tithes to his church, and let's us see his documents. And you have a problem with what? I'm not campaigning for Romney but I can see the effects the liberal left media has attached itself to your thinking. And that should also be a clue.

I was shocked that Trump is standing up for Romney. I do believe that the one line will haunt him, even though he did not mean it the way it sounds. I'm a Democrat so I have no choice in who wins the Republican nomination, but as it stands, I'm more of a Romney fan then a Newt fan.

What I find interesting here is the money. As I understand it, Obama has amassed more campaign funds than anyone in history. And that is what elections are all about - money.

Given the choice and with the dire straits this country has put itself into over the last fifty years, I'd much rather have someone in office who knows something about how to make money in the private sector. We don't need politicians. We need businessmen running the government.

I want someone with the basic knowledge that if you spend more money than you have, eventually you go broke.

I'm not surprised that Trump endorsed Romney, nor do I really care what Trump thinks. He talks a good game, but I don't think he has a clue what running this country is all about.

While I'm not crazy about Obama and what he's managed to accomplish, at least we know what we have. With Trump and Romney, we'd also know what we have, and I am not impressed by either of them. Trump has already worn himself very thin in my book. I question his values, and I question Romney's being able to think on his feet.
