Romney at Politics 33 1/3

The delightfully great and fresh gossip from a New York Fundraiser that Mitt Romney may yet try again to be our lected president delights every Democrat with their thinking cap on. Mr. Romney ran a weak kneed campaign a couple years ago-but at least he picked a better running mate than Senator McCain-(remember Sarah Palin-the glib attractive charmer who could not answer that very tough question: "what do you like to read?"

Romney now would still probably be political cannon fodder for someone as smart and well spoken as Hillary Clinton. Even Romney's hypocrisy about Barack Obama family history would still have some political steam..
Like Mr. Obama's dad, Mitt Romney's dad was born in another
country-Mexico.

The Romneys still have plenty of relatives in Mexico today. Mitt Romney's dad was a smart man-worked very hard, not well educated(never received a college degree)and through hard work became president of American Motors. (AM was a major US car company) Senator George Romney was a fine Republican, a smart politician, a social moderate. Senator Romney in the 1960's was much in favor of social programs to help get people out of slums and into decent housing and jobs.

Today, most of Mitt’s relatives living in Colonia Juarez, Mexico are Anglo Mexican cowboys, farmers, and businessmen who speak Spanish and English with equal ease. They live in cool Victorian homes and ranch houses with some of the greenest lawns in Mexico, looking as if they have been transplanted from suburban Irvine.But they saw tough times, too...After all, when thousands of other Mormons were thrown out of their homeland of Mexico, an older George Romney recalled the U.S. Federal government had quickly stepped in and help feed, clothe, and house many thousands of LDS members, who were born in Mexico and the USA, refugees who suddenly had nothing. This welfare assistance started about in 1912-The Mexican Revolution Days.

Unlike Mr. Obama, Mr. Romney inherited a great amount of money and stocks from his father George:at least 50 MM in today's dollars. Anyone smart or not so smart can run up a huge score of money like that. Mr. Romney is no doubt smart, but he and his staff were surprisingly inept, politically, in several ways.

Not as politically smart or clever as Dick Nixon or JFK, or even Ronald Reagan. For example, Mr. Romney chose a average running mate. Mr. Ryan was better qualified than Senator McCain's choice of the under qualified Sarah Palin, at least....But brilliant men don't give fund raising speeches condemning people whose votes he badly needed. People who were just like Mitt's dad, George when he was a young man. Mitt overall does seem pretty likeable-but his 2012 campaign was a house of cards. Romneycare and Obamacare are almost exactly the same programs, for example. Yet Mr. Romney strongly criticizes Obamacare...

Debating? In one debate with Mr. Obama, Romney stated today we have less Navy ships than in 1918, while forgetting (as Mr. Obama thoughtfully reminded him-"we have these things now called aircraft carriers") One fighter bomber on an aircraft carrier or on a nuclear submarine a large nuclear missile can release more explosive power than every bomb ever used (in total) in WW2 or WW1..Democrats hope Mr. Romney will run again, with Dr. Donald Trump as his running mate...Dr. Trump still does not realize politics is a profession...He is very thin skinned, is used to yes men lap-dogging around him, and questioning "The Donald"would be a political reporter's delight...
