Mitt Romney gave his stop Trump speech yesterday and the earth is still turning today. Surprisingly Trump's response was relatively subdued, by Trump standards. Probably because he recognizes that Romney has no credibility with most Americans. There is no point in analyzing last night's Republican Debate because it was the same as the last one. Nothing new is being learned and you should skip them unless you enjoy reality T.V. Cruz and Rubio are spinning their wheels because they are trying to out Trump Trump, it's not going to work. John Kasich is trying to gain momentum by stressing his credentials and long history of political success but it is not penetrating the fog of frustration that Trump is so deftly exploiting. One of Trump's regular themes is our trade deficits and the points are valid. He says he loves the Chinese and Mexican people but their leaders are smarter than ours. He now also mentions Vietnam but doesn't indicate a fondness. Maybe he does li...

Mitt Romney delivered a scathing indictment of why Donald Trump should be rejected by Republicans. He did this from the safety of Salt Lake City surrounded by a friendly audience. Well done Mitt, you just propelled Donald Trump's ascendancy to the nomination exponentially. Romney is not the person to deliver this rebuke. As much as I don't think Trump would be a good President my opinion of Romney is even less. He accused Trump of being a phony, if that's true then Romney himself is a phony on steroids. He has occupied all positions on all subjects including implementing Romney Care in Massachusetts which is identical to the so called Obamacare which he viciously attacked in 2012. In fact the architects of that Massachusetts plan were brought to Washington to work on President Obama's healthcare plan. Romney has been pro choice then pro life depending on the political race he is in. He became severely conservative for 2012. He believes with all his heart that 47% of A...

The first rule of politics is never underestimate your opponent. Every Republican candidate did this concerning Donald Trump. Not one of them took him on aggressively from day one. The presumptive nominee, Jeb Bush, allowed Trump to define him as a low energy clueless dolt for weeks before attempting what repeatedly was a weak counterattack. The rest of them ducked for cover hoping not to be a target. Trump chose Bush as his first victim because he knew that strategically he had to dispatch him quickly. Trump has repeated this pattern each time a new person rose in the ranks. But still the field failed to take his candidacy seriously. Donald Trump has been threatening to run for President since 1996. The Republican Party in theory should have a massive oppo research file on him but they don't. The reason is as simple as underestimating him and also repeatedly going to him for political donations. Like any smart businessman he has spread the wealth over both major parties and indiv...
