In his remarks, Romney used broad strokes to characterize millions of people who he said solidly support President Barack Obama.
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what," Romney said in the video. "All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what.
"And I mean the president starts out with 48, 49 percent … he starts off with a huge number," Romney continued. "These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn’t connect. So he’ll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean, that’s what they sell every four years. And so my job is is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
We’re checking several claims from his remarks at the May 2012 event. Taxes are a contentious issue in the presidential campaign, and the statistic Romney mentioned was sure to pique the attention of the ostensible 1-percenters in his audience.

Campaigning on hate Trump/Russian collusion/Stormy Daniels & Michael Cohen.
who the fuck cares about Michael Cohen again? Nobody
I know the fucking idiots are emotionally vested in collusion, they're going to die believing that shit
And Stormy Daniels is sex and scandal, Americans love that nonsense
But nobody cares if Trump's attorney made money as a quasi-lobbyist, just so boring

Do you have any idea who will run against Trump.
I know 2.5 years away.
Just curious

I know this, the democratic party is moving far to the looney left field, from DC to the DNC to Hollywood, they're unhinged. It's going to take an off the wall moonbat to win the nomination, and that person will have no chance in the general election.
Trump took politics back to middle America and that's why he won, the Democrats are countering by moving to the extreme left, they're chasing the duuuuhfeces of this world and that's a losing strategy
After a couple or more beat downs, more reasonable voices in their party will gain transaction and the likes of Pelosi, Waters and Pocahontas will be thrown to the curb. Just like the Republicans are throwing their own swamp creatures out

Im thinking they will go with the "Race" card again, and make it a woman... This way you will be RACIST and a WOMAN HATER if you dont vote for them. Also dont be surprised if the woman is bi-tri-gender fluid, full lesbo and also a muslim so they can play those "homo and islama *phobe*"cards. All they have is identity politics, cause they cant run on policy.
