Mitt Romney And Trump Free Republicans

-

Utah Senator Mitt Romney.

Below is an old post 18 December 2023, about free men, free from Donald Trump’s grip. Men like Senator Mitt Romney.

2024 U.S. presidential election. Finding duty-free voters will be Mitt Romney’s biggest challenge, should he decide to run in 2024. He ran in 2012 but lost to the 44th U.S. President Barack Obama. Duty-free? Yes, voters who are not duty bound to the president who lost the election in 2020.

It will be an uphill battle because the seeds Trump planted found warm soil for some Republicans as we witnessed the 6 January desecration of Congress. Like all parties, the GOP is a garden center with a variety of seedlings.

It will be hard for Romney to find duty-free Republicans because the previous president seems to have a grip on all kinds of seedlings, working class and senate billionaires who don’t rely on him financially.

What will make Romney’s weeding difficult is that duty-free party faithful keep a low profile. They donate housekeeping money but are not vocal. Some are afraid because they know the political consequences of stating the obvious: Trump lost the election.

Duty-free Republicans are aware that he is a liability for future elections because he has personified America. He regards himself as America, whereas duty-free Republicans owe allegiance to the ideals of the Party, not an individual. They want to rebuild sans pseudo monarchs and dictators.

If Mitt Romney runs, he won’t discard prodigal sons duty-bound to Trump. It won’t be easy, but he’ll try and convince them to check the delusion that the election was stolen, at the door, and join the larger duty-free fold.

Elections And Political Bullies

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Internet Manners

The internet and mama have something in common: manners.   They believe that always say Hi! To people you meet. Home is where the heart is, but it is rough being at home these digital days.   People are so tied up in chat rooms, Instagram, Twitter, FB, YouTube or Google mania, they don’t have a minute to say hi or good night to people they share a toilet or kitchen with. Thank god for internet players.   They say hi to me when I re-open a document after a thirty minutes’ break.   It’s all automated, but it is nice when the computer calls me by my name and encourages me to continue, where I left off. The internet understands that greetings are the definitive ice breaker, before saying mum, I’m hungry or dad, can I have the car keys? Facebook has taken it to the next level because it understands that I live in a strange province where the weather is a headline story, and not what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thinks about the Keystone Pipeline, so Facebook reminds me of temperatu
