RSSFormer GOP Establishment Presidential Loser Mitt Romney Rips Donald Trump as a ‘Phony’ and a ‘Fraud’ … Hmm, Flashback, That’s Not What Romney Said Before When Praising Trump (VIDEO)
HMM … WHO IS THE PHONY AND FRAUD?
Really, who wants to hear anything from an individual who epitomizes exactly what is wrong with the republican party and why the GOP base is so pissed off at Republicans? Oh, did I mention that Mitt Romney was a presidential loser who was so gutless and wishy-washy that he could not find the spine or CO-JONES to defeat and completely defeatable Barack Obama? But that is not stopping Mittens Romney from taking to the podium to rip 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump. Amazing. Wasn’t it the establishment who was wanting Trump to say he would support the GOP presidential nominee and not run a third party challenge against the Republicans? Well look at the establishment cry-babies now. Please tell me these fools in the establishment GOP are thinking of having Romney enter the race to challenge Trump? Does the GOP party just not get it? The Republican base hates them!
Mittens Romney – the face of establishment GOP losing politics
A note to Romney … Dude, your time has come and gone and you blew it. No one needs any advice from a middle of the road, establishment Republican who lost to Barack Obama.
Mitt Romney on Thursday will slam GOP front-runner Donald Trump as “a phony” and “a fraud” who is “playing the American public for suckers” in a major speech on the 2016 race.
“His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University,” the 2012 GOP nominee plans to say at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City at 11:30 a.m. ET. Romney will argue that “a Trump nomination enables” Hillary Clinton to win in November.
“His domestic policies would lead to recession,” Romney will say about Trump. “His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president. And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill.”
Hmm, well that is not what Romney has said in the past regarding the Donald when he was singing his praises. So you get to decide who the real phony and fraud is. Watch the video below where Romney has only ringing endorsements and praise for Donald Trump. So what has changed Mittens?
What happened to the Mitt-Donald lovefest of 2012, when they said:
“It’s my honor, real honor, to endorse Mitt Romney,” Trump said, with Romney and his wife standing nearby. Calling Romney “tough” and “smart,” Trump said, “he’s not going to continue to allow bad things to happen to this country.”
Romney responded by praising Trump for “an extraordinary ability to understand how our economy works and to create jobs” and for being “one of the few who has stood up to say China is cheating” in international trade.

GOP and Democrat Primaries: Its Not About the Wins and Losses, Its About the Delegates
ITS ALL ABOUT THE DELEGATES …
Don’t let the pundits spin you with wins and losses, especially during the early primaries that are not winner take all. Below is a “Viewer’s Guide: After Super Tuesday, Cold Hard Delegate Math.” The state primaries have some of the most convoluted mathematical calculations to determine the allocation of delegates, it makes ones head hurt. The delegate numbers will still change after the Super Tuesday ones are allocated to see whether candidates met certain thresholds. For example, Marco Rubio did not have a bad night because he only won one state last night in Minnesota, he had a bad night because he failed to meet the the delegate threshold in a couple of delegate rich states, like Texas. The Politico has 5 takes aways. Take them for what they are worth.
But with the Democrats its not just about the delegates, its about the “Super Delegates” that have unfairly stacked the deck against Bernie Sanders.
Presidential candidates will wake up Wednesday morning to the cold, hard truth of delegate math. It might give the front-runners some breathing room, but for the rest of the field, the truth may hurt.
What to watch for on the day after Super Tuesday doles out a quarter of all the delegates at stake in the GOP and Democratic nominating contests:
THE TALLY: With 12 states awarding delegates, see how the delegate totals stack up when the dust settles.
With some delegates still to be allocated, Donald Trump had won at least 192 Super Tuesday delegates and Ted Cruz at least 132. Marco Rubio had won at least 66 delegates, John Kasich 19 and Ben Carson three. There were 595 GOP delegates at stake in 11 states.
Overall, Trump led with 274 delegates, Cruz 149, Rubio 82. It takes 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination for president.
On the Democratic side, Clinton was assured of winning at least 457 of the 865 delegates at stake on Super Tuesday. Sanders was sure to get at least 286. Including superdelegates, Clinton had at least 1,005 delegates. Sanders had at least 373. It takes 2,383 Democratic delegates to win.

SUPER TUESDAY – Republican Primaries: Donald Trump Projected to Win in Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts and Tennessee
Donald Trump Projected to Win in Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts and Tennessee …
WAPO is projecting that Donald Trump is the projected winner in Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts and Tennessee.
Billionaire Donald Trump has been projected to win at least four of the states that held Republican primaries on “Super Tuesday,” with results in four other still too close to call.
Trump has been projected as the winner in Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts and Tennessee, according to Edison Media Research. In early returns, Trump seemed very dominant in those states – he was up double digits in all, and in several states his share of the vote neared 50 percent. With those wins, Trump has more than doubled his victory total in this GOP primary season: He has now won seven states. His opponents have won just one so far.
Now the watch is to see if Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio can maintain the delegate threshold.

Pundits Say Super Tuesday Predictions Point to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton Rout
DON’T BELIEVE WHAT THE PUNDITS TELL YOU ABOUT A TRUMP & CLINTON SUPER TUESDAY ROUT …
Its Super Tuesday, if you are in the following states, get out and vote!!!
Alabama · 50 delegates
Alaska · 28 delegates
Arkansas · 40 delegates
Georgia · 76 delegates
Massachusetts · 42 delegates
Minnesota · 38 delegates
Oklahoma · 43 delegates
Tennessee · 58 delegates
Texas · 155 delegates
Vermont · 16 delegates
Virginia · 49 delegates
Do the Pundits know that none of the Super Tuesday primary/caucus states are winner take all? I guess not as they predict that Super Tuesday will be a Trump and Clinton rout. Sorry folks, it has nothing to do with winning and losing. It has to do with delegates and whether you can get to the 15% or 20% threshold in the proportional states. Unless a candidate wins the state by the winner take all threshold like 67% in Tennessee, which is never going to happen with so many candidates still in the GOP race, its all about meeting the requirements to get delegates. It is a much easier proposition for Hillary Clinton and she just has one opponent and hardly one at that.
Remember, the real number to look for is 20%. In some states its 15%. That is what qualifies a candidate to get any delegates. Thus, Carson and Kasich are an afterthought and should really start thinking about packing up and heading home.
On Tuesday, more delegates will be awarded than on any other day of the presidential race. About half of the delegates needed for a Republican candidate to win the nomination are at stake, plus about a third for Democrats. In roughly a dozen state races, Republican front-runner Donald Trump and Democratic leader Hillary Clinton seem poised to win in landslides that could render them nearly inevitable.
The Politico is playing the spin game too .. Trump, Clinton to run riot on Super Tuesday. Sorry, but the wins really don’t matter, especially in close races. You will hear all kinds of hoopla that the GOP race is over because Trump won so many states, but we all need to check out the number of delegates at evenings end. That will be the real story. Trump will most likely garner the most, if the polls are correct, but just how wide will the margin be?
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are already beating their rivals. On Super Tuesday, insiders predict, they’ll all but bury them.
Members of The POLITICO Caucus — a panel of strategists, party leaders, activists and elected officials in four key March-voting states — expect both Clinton and Trump to romp through the majority of Tuesday’s primaries and caucuses. And a number even suggested that running the table on Super Tuesday, or something close to it, could make both front-runners nearly impossible to catch in the race for their parties’ nomination.
