Gingrish: Romney Blew His Chance to Be Nominee with Trump Speech

March 8, 2016 Buck Banks

I think if Mitt had really wanted to maneuver for the nomination, he wouldn’t have given the speech he gave last week. Because that speech was so harsh and so intense that it virtually guaranteed that I think both for the Trump people but also for a lot of the Cruz people, that Romney would just plain be unacceptable.

All others have support in the single digits.”

Committee, No Commitment

April 11, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

There’s news from the camp of Mitt Romney.
Seems he might be running for the presidency.
We hear the dashing Mormon
Is finally getting around to formin’
A tentative preliminary exploratory committee.

Mitt Is It!

January 29, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

The Republicans want Romney to run.
They think his campaign would be fun.
Besides, the prediction
Is he’d win the election —
It says so in the Book of Mormon!

Poetic Justice

— Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) on the “resign or be fired” ultimatum from the GOP’s Freedom Caucus just 174 days into his tenure as sp[eaker, reported by Punchbowl News.

“Trump’s head slowly dropped, his eyes closed. It jerked back upward. He adjusts himself. Then, his head droops again. He straightens up, leaning back. His head droops for a third time, he shakes his shoulders. Eyes closed still. His head drops. Finally, he pops his eyes open.”

— Law360 reports from the second day of Donald Trump’s “hush money” criminal trial.

— New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R), quoted by the Associated Press two years ago. Sununu is now backing Trump for president.
