I must give credit where credit is due and the recipient of my praise today is Donald Trump.
You got to hand it to Trump and his people. For months they had to stand by and watch as Mitt Romney became something of a darling of the anti-Trump factions when he would not support Trump nor even say anything nice about him. Sure - Mittens is a insider horse who can only run on the rail and would not lend his name to any independent effort to really hurt Trump - but he was a thorn in the Trump side just the same. It must have completely galled Trump to see Romney praised as a man of principle and values who stood tall in the never Trump campaign.
Then Trump won and legions of GOP members came crawling to Trump Tower to kiss the ring and other things and pledge their undying loyalty to the new King. And when it was leaded that Trump was considering Romney for Sec of State - yup - you guessed it, Mittens made the pilgrimage, put on the knee pads, puckered up for the national media cameras and jumped through the hoops of Trump adoration.
And the master that Trump is at extracting payback, he wisely dragged this out for a couple of weeks as Romney stood by like a loyal dog waiting for his masters order.
And now it is all snatched away and Romney no longer has his principles or his values and is just a rejected office seeker who did not measure up in the bosses eyes.
Beautifully done Donald. I know of no egomaniacal authoritarian who could have done it with more grace and style than you did with Mittens.
You dropped you bait, hooked him good, reeled him in and then hung him up on the chain on the dock for the picture. WOW!!!
