Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

She trashes Mitt pretty good.

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

Mitt and the rest of the DC elite need trashing. IMO she is spot on.

Mitt and his buddies is what Trumpsters are all about.

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

Mitt's probably the wrong person calling someone else a phony, a fraud, someone who's without a core, but he's not wrong.

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

It is too bad. There is really no one to vote for this time around on either side. There is no lesser of the two evils. One has to think though why is the media, the DNC, the RNC and just about everyone else against Trump but yet Trump is bringing in record numbers for voters for the Caucus's. Confusing.

mitt was a stupid choice to speak and traditional republicans created an atmosphere where trump could get on the ticket.
but a vote for trump is still a wrong vote imho.
if anyone thinks trump will help not hurt america they are wrong

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

Romney has become the leader of the establishment Republicans suicide cult. This is a movement not to raise one of the candidates to the nomination but to deny the popular choice so the party elites can trot out someone pleasing to them not the primary voters as the Presidential nominee. :eek

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

Spewing these lies and hate filled invective against Trump is wrong no matter what person does it. There is nothing dignified or Presidential in personally attacking Trump or claiming he is dishonest whIle ignoring Hillary's multiple felonies.:rolls

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

There is nothing dignified or Presidential in Trump

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

I really have to disagree with this conclusion

The Democrats have their utopian dreamer vrs a pathological liar
The GOP has it's RINO's and very intelligent contenders.

Unfortunately;

The intelligent contenders have stepped away and the liars and fakes on both sides are left. Blame who you want but the truth is this,,,; Americans made those choices in this election cycle, just as they did in the last two. It conforms to the axiom that good men do not wish to rule over other good men. I cannot swear the same about women.:rolls

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

Nor the other front runner Hillary. :rolls

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

I agree with both of you.

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

I aint no stinkin Hillary supporter doesnt take away from the fact trump is an embarrassment to humanity

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

Funny how the same Democrat slime machine that brought us such "dignified" rhetoric as "Romney killed my wife" and that lauds a President Obama when he eschews the Constitution in favor of pen and phone suddenly turns into Victorian era lecturers on propriety when a popular Republican is the subjecr. :rolls

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

Romney's speech told me that the republicans are all about the party and the hell with the country.

While republican elites have cried about what will become of the republican party if Trump is elected, Trump has been talking about how to make this country great again.

Trump cares about the country, republicans care about themselves. :mad

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

It is important to make the distinction between Republicans as a group and the suicide cult of establishment Republicans. :thumbsup

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

If Trump takes the bigots who think immigration is an easily solvable problem, the ones who call for carpet bombing, and if he takes the Christian right, I will stay with the establishment which will imho be much better off. :thumbsup

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

Well, I partially agree with you.

Donald Trump is rude and crude, in my opinion. And he is a bully, and a bigot.

But Hillary Clinton--the Democrats' likely choice--would amount to a third (and perhaps even a fourth) term for Barack Obama. And America cannot stand such a move to the left, I believe.

It is likely, therefore, to come down to a choice between the lesser of two evils.

And--as much as it pains me to say it--that would probably be Donald Trump...

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

I don't know how anyone thinks Obama or Hillary are to the left. to give them a big benefit of the doubt I would say conservative lite. in truth they are more moderate conservative. :yes

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

I don't understand your point. Since there is nothing dignified or presidential in the current occupant of the White House, so what?

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

if you dont think president obama and every president before him is more decent than trump i cannot communicate with you at all. good day

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

My jaw simply dropped when I read this.

Hillary Clinton is attempting to run to the left of Bernie Sanders--who is an admitted democratic socialist.

And Barack Obama is (easily!) the most left-leaning president of my lifetime...

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

A sleeping giant? Can anyone actually be serious. We're talking a about a minority of a political party that's basically superior to the Libertarian Party that only has about 300,000 paid active members in the ranking of political parties. Republican Party membership is often cited to be about 30 million but the vast majority of those aren't paid members of the Republican Party. They're "registered voters" that want to vote in the Republican primaries and card carrying (paid) party members.

Of course even if we take that number of 30 million registed Republicans seriously it only represents about 15% of all registered voters in the United States.

A sleeping giant? The entire Republican Party more like a hamster in a herd of elephants.

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

Romney is right about Trump being a fraud and phony.But considering the fact he governed Massachusetts as a liberal and did a 180 to run for president its like the pot calling the kettle black.Its like the black panthers calling skinheads a bunch of racists. They are right but they have to no room to talk.

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

their words pander to the left. they are certainly scared to go there

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

According to Wiki party affiliation runs around 39% - 41% Republican among Americans. For perspective, Democrat affiliation runs 40% - 42% .

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poli...in_U.S._states

The claim that the Republican party is just an insignificant minority is utter nonsense.

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

I'm not sure where Wikipedia is getting it's information but based upon a January 2015 Gallup Poll 26% identify themselves as being Republicans, 30% identify themselves as being Democrats, and 43% identify themselves as being Independents.

In U.S., New Record 43% Are Political Independents

Trump has been securing about 35% of the Republican primary vote and that would only represent about 8.75% of the people but it's actually much less because of the extremely low turn-out for primary elections. As noted this small precentage really represents a hamster in a herd of elephants.

This isn't the real problem for Republicans of course. The real problem is that Trump only has a 33% approval rating and a whopping 60% disapproval rating. This is the worst disapproval rating of any presidential candidate in recent history and it alone would prevent Trump from ever being elected President (we can thank our lucky stars).

Gallup: Trump disapproval at record 60% | Washington Examiner

Hell, Trump couldn't even defeat President Obama if Obama was running again because Obama's sitting on a 50% approval rating this week.

Obama's Job Approval at Highest Level Since May 2013

As I've mentioned previously the GOP leadership is justifiably concerned about Trump possibly becoming the Republican candidate for president because he's a slam-dunk loser in the general election. It could be the greatest landslide loss in Republican history because Trump could actually lose in all 50 states because the vast majority of Americans, including a significant number of Republicans, can't stand him.

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

The wiki numbers deal with the party affiliations same as your claim the Republican party is a small minority. Even the numbers you present show only a 4% gap between Republicans and Democrats. Despite the obvious defenestration of your claim Republicans are an insignificant minority.:o

Oh but wait, let's change the subject to Donald Trump and another baseless claim that since he gets 30 something percent of votes in the primary he is supported by only a minority of Republicans never mind that Trump is running in a field of up to 17 candidates.:rolls

Point out a false claim, you respond with another false claim.;)

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

Well, Barack Obama certainly does not appear to be "scared to go there."

In fact, he has already gone there...

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

According to exit polls in 2008, Obama ended up with 20 percent of the conservative vote. Even in 2012, after four years of relentless conservative attacks, he still got 17 percent of the conservative vote, with 11 percent of Tea Party supporters saying they cast their ballots for Obama.

prominent conservatives and Republicans who were openly supporting Obama in 2008:

Ken Duberstein, Ronald Reagan’s chief of staff; Charles Fried, Reagan’s solicitor general; Ken Adelman, director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency for Reagan; Jeffrey Hart, longtime senior editor of National Review; Colin Powell, Reagan’s national security adviser and secretary of state for George W. Bush; and Scott McClellan, Bush’s press secretary. There were many others as well.

According to exit polls in 2008, Obama ended up with 20 percent of the conservative vote. Even in 2012, after four years of relentless conservative attacks, he still got 17 percent of the conservative vote, with 11 percent of Tea Party supporters saying they cast their ballots for Obama.

They were not wrong. In my opinion, Obama has governed as a moderate conservative—essentially as what used to be called a liberal Republican before all such people disappeared from the GOP. He has been conservative to exactly the same degree that Richard Nixon basically governed as a moderate liberal, something no conservative would deny today. (Ultra-leftist Noam Chomsky recently called Nixon “the last liberal president.”)

Another early indication of Obama’s hawkishness was naming his rival for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state. During the campaign, Clinton ran well to his right on foreign policy, so much so that she earned the grudging endorsement of prominent neoconservatives such as Bill Kristol and David Brooks.

Obama, Kristol told the Washington Post in August 2007, “is becoming the antiwar candidate, and Hillary Clinton is becoming the responsible Democrat who could become commander in chief in a post-9/11 world.” Writing in the New York Times on February 5, 2008, Brooks praised Clinton for hanging tough on Iraq “through the dark days of 2005.”

Right-wing columnist Ann Coulter found Clinton more acceptable on national-security policy than even the eventual Republican nominee, Senator McCain.

After Obama named Clinton secretary of state, there was “a deep sigh” of relief among Republicans throughout Washington, according to reporting by The Daily Beast’s John Batchelor. He noted that not a single Republican voiced any public criticism of her appointment.

By 2011, Republicans were so enamored with Clinton’s support for their policies that Dick Cheney even suggested publicly that she run against Obama in 2012...Obama Is a Republican | The American Conservative

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

Mitt Romney? Why in the name of f*ck would we listen to political advice from someone who couldn't beat the worst president in the history of this country? It's like taking health advice from Marlon Brando's former fitness instructor.

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

I really do not know how this figure was derived.

But even if we were to take it at face value, that would mean that Barack Obama did not receive 89 percent of the vote from "Tea Party supporters," or 83 percent of "the conservative vote."

Although I do not agree with this assessment--I would say that Barack Obama has governed as a democratic socialist--I certainly have no use for "liberal Republican[s]"; and I am very glad that they have virtually "disappeared from the GOP."

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

So you're basically saying that now that the positive element within the Republican Party that historically fought for racial and gender equality and opposed discrimination and oppression you're glad because now the Republican Party can really be the "Party of Angry White Men" that are willing to oppress anyone to retain White Male Supremacy in our social, economic, and political institutions.

GOT IT.

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

No.

That is what you said--not what I said.

But anyone who truly believes that most Republicans are bigots would doubtless interpret it that way...

Re: Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant
 

If only what were true, exactly? That Barack Obama has governed as a democratic socialist? Or that liberal Republicans are nearly extinct?

There is nothing remotely democratic about Pen and Phone governing by executive decree because Congress didn’t give him what he wanted. From making illegal recess appointments to illegally rewriting immigration law giving amnesty to millions Obama has governed like the Cuban dictators he is so intent on "transforming" the US to mirror.:devil
