Three hundred people with obvious political learning impairments packed themselves into an auditorium at the University of Denver Friday night to slobber over a man who regularly confuses his own need for cheap adulation with the country’s best interests.
That’s right, Mitt Romney was in town and if you were expecting his usual brand of false nobility and seriocomic narcissism you were not to be disappointed.
Mittens holds forth on his treacherous impeachment vote: “There are a couple of times I have said things or taken positions that were more expedient than they were based upon conviction. I remember those things precisely and I regret them enormously. And I said, ‘I’m not doing that again.’ I’ve reached a point in my life where I look back and I say of all the things I’ve done in my life, I think those couple of things really stand out and they really bother me. Years, decades later, and I’m not going to do that anymore.”

Thus in one stroke he absolves himself of past misdeeds and puts a halo over his head for anything he may do in the future. Oh, and notice he does not specifically mention impeachment, lest nerves in Utah be further worn down by his half apostasy.
Then after that laugh-fest, Romney holds up his overly tanned nose and sniffs at a query on the realignment of working class voters toward the GOP. Such ruffians, he virtually says, while ignoring the question: “I think that’s difficult for my party. Because we’re not doing well with young people. We’re not doing well with minorities. We’re not doing well with women. And if you’re not doing well with those groups, it’s going to be hard long-term to be successful.”

The man is intentionally blind to recent polls that have the president doubling or tripling the GOP vote with minorities, not to mention the fantastic economic numbers that benefit those citizens. And women also have made wide economic gains during the Trump administration. It would take only a relatively small swing of 5-8% to put them in the GOP camp for the 2020 presidential election. The young? We’ll care about their turnout numbers when they actually go to the polls.
By the way, senator, how well did you do with those groups when you ran for president on the GOP ticket in 2012? Yeah, I thought so.
So goes another event with Mittens in all his “Aren’t I wonderful?” magnificence. Pity the poor clods who had to endure it.
