NOW, NY Times Touts Romney as a Man of the People (Forget Their Sliming in 2012)
31st January 2020
On Friday, The New York Times wrote one of those Strange New Respect pieces for Mitt Romney headlined “Mitt Romney, a Man Alone.” Times political writer Mark Leibovich touted how Romney “drew big press scrums” as the liberal hope for extending the impeachment trial.
It “places upon Mr. Romney a level of curiosity that goes beyond the quasi-celebrity treatment he already receives as the last pre-Trump standard-bearer of a Republican Party that feels about 80 years removed from the party that nominated him eight years ago.”
Eight years ago, Leibovich and the Times were mercilessly in ripping Romney as an entitled elitist who was cruel to his dog. But now? He inspires “nostalgia.”
Yeah, they want the type of good old Republican loser that McCain and Romney did so well.
Nothing reconciles me to eight years of Obama so much as the post-election activities of McCain and Romney. I suppose it’s too much to hope for him to get cancer and die.
