The key difference between Mitt Romney and Donald Trump is that Romney's father was an elected politician and Mitt has chosen the same profession. Whereas, Trump's father was a self-made business-man. Trump worked primarily as a businessman throughout his life.
I remember the story of the dog in the manger: a dog can't eat hay, but he'll bark at the Holstein to keep him from his meal. In 2012, Mitt was not man enough to beat Obama in the election. The Massachusetts Candidate from Utah quite simply was jealous seeing the overwhelming popularity of The Donald. Being The Ultimate Waffler, many accused him of, Mitney wrote & issued, what I consider to be the most scathing letter in the history of American politics decrying a candidate of the same party right before his election. Mitt Romney ?never a man of convictions. Trump exposed him for the only campaign promise I remember: Hating Big Bird.
In school, I took Civics and from my father I learned patriotism when he came home from The Battle of the Bulge. I was a High School Band Director, musician, bandleader, a successful composer who traveled 20 countries, 34 states & voted in as many elections as I could. Experiences I've been blessed with have given me a well-earned dislike for politicians... regardless of their political affiliation. Trump at the age of 70 when most folks are retired had NEVER run nor held public office. Donald J. Trump can't be bought. He merely wanted to do some good. That's what kills Deep State guys like John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush and Paul Ryan: Jealousy. Too weak to go through the fiery gauntlet that forged a 70-year old Trump, the mangy dogs scratch their fleas and just bark at the Bull getting things done in the manger. ?Vince Vance
