Hey, if there are sheep to be fleeced, he will be there.




Hard working manual labor Americans rush out to vote for a guy who made his fortune selling their jobs to China.

Fucking amazing. You HAVE to give guys like Mitt some credit, he is literally going to DESTROY you but somehow manages to get you to vote for him.

6. They arent that much alike though, in that Romney is an educated, relatively intelligent

business person, a horrible one, he kills jobs and ultimately people but he is a businessperson.

Trump actually knows nothing, nothing at all, about business. He knows nothing, nothing at all, about real estate, hotels, golf courses, NOTHING.

He could no more pull off a corporate plunder job like Romney does (on a regular basis for that matter) than he could tell you what a good filet tastes like, he doesn't know, he doesn't have the intelligence and in the case of food the curiosity.

You can tell trump what capital gains taxes are and 5 minutes later he will not be able to explain it back to you, even though her and most like him rely on this "special" tax for rich people.

He wouldn't know what zoning laws were other than when his people tell him "dont buy that property, cant build there."

The other day he said he knew more about taxes and the tax bill than CPA's, the people who know him best will assure you he knows nothing, at all, about taxes in general or the bill.

If he takes advantage of a tax loophole it is because he was told to, he couldn't tell you which ones or explain them, not to safe his life.

...was abysmally unqualified. I'm sorry for what Mitt went through in the so-called interview process --imo, he didn't deserve it. But Romney has always despised Trump, and Trump just had to rub his nose in it.

a time of war.

He had no problem phucking with the lives of those in the field to try and make points even if lying about our foreign policy was part of it.

He is despicable.





And yet, compared to what we now have, well, you know.
