Mitt Romney’s Niece Publicly Said Who She’s Voting For, And Mitt Is FURIOUS!

When it comes down to common sense, Mitt Romney’s niece, Ronna Romney McDaniel, brings it to the table without question.



As you know, her uncle Mitt is working to create havoc against GOP frontrunner Donald Trump at the GOP convention in July of this year. He doesn’t want the successful businessman to win the GOP nomination, so he’s joined with the establishment to try to prevent that from happening.

Ronna isn’t playing those games. She sounds like she’s country-first and will abide by the will of the people. Imagine if all of our elected officials thought this way!

From Newsmax:

The niece of 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney wishes her uncle was in the White House, but vows she’ll support Donald Trump – the candidate Romney publicly attacked in a brutal takedown speech last week.

In an interview by MSNBC’s Chris Matthews in Detroit on Tuesday night – where Trump sailed to victory in the state’s primary – Ronna Romney McDaniel said she believes the real estate billionaire is “committed to staying in the [Republican] party.”

McDaniel said that rallies she’s attended for Trump in Michigan are “not a traditional Republican crowd,” but that she’s “not surprised” he won the state handily.

“If he’s our nominee, I’m going to support him,” she declared.

She also said her uncle is not an option for the party’s nominee if there is a contested GOP convention this summer.

He said he’s not interested,” she said. “I wish he were president now. But I am pleased with our field. Let’s see what happens.

She’s an articulate and bright young lady. I am glad she’s taking this stand against her uncle and the powers-that-be. If more voters would take this approach, we could offset the establishment’s penchant for mischief and fight back.

I hope that does happen before it’s too late.

Odd piece in that the headline isn't supported by the text. That's probably run of the mill for UK journalism, but rarely see that in the U.S.

Just quit USA. Your political system is so flawed and dirty on so many levels just join Canada or something. Plus I'm sick of hearing about the elections for about 4 years before they happen

God, does this mean I have to put up with that witch as prez now then?

I mean, I still prefer her to hamster-head like, but still...

I feel for the Bernie Sanders lot, to be fair.

I don't see how HRC embodies anything she says she fights for, but there you are. Such is life.

Giant douche / Turd sandwich, all over again.

If true, would you be surprised really?
It's been a gerrymander against him from day 1.

I am not suggesting that liberals adopt a fuzzy, gentler version of their politics. I am not suggesting they compromise their issues for the sake of playing nice. What I am suggesting is that they consider how the issues they actually fight for have drifted away from their egalitarian intentions.

I am suggesting that they notice how hating and ridiculing the people they say they want to help has led them to stop helping those people, too.

I am suggesting that in the case of a Kim Davis, liberalism resist the impulse to go beyond the necessary legal fight and explicitly delight in punishing an old foe.

I am suggesting that they instead wonder what it might be like to have little left but one's values; to wake up one day to find your whole moral order destroyed; to look around and see the representatives of a new order call you a stupid, hypocritical hick without bothering, even, to wonder how your corner of your poor state found itself so alienated from them in the first place. To work with people who do not share their values or their tastes, who do not live where they live or like what they like or know their Good Facts or their jokes.

READ THE WHOLE THING.

That's an interesting thing to say as a reaction. How so?

You understand the author is a liberal and wishes to see a socialist in the White House, right? This is not a conservative rant, you know - he suggests there may a downside to dancing on the rubble of these people's lives.

btw - thanks to your Padres for knocking off the cards last night...

I was enjoying reading it at first but then the incessant waling of a baby started to get louder and louder.

It's interesting that he brought up the Daily Show, given that it is probably the closest thing you guys get to factual reporting lol (I enjoy The Bugle podcast and HIGNFY for the same reason over here)

There is no such thing as a news source you can truly rely upon for the straight truth. Over here or over there.

Everyone must serve somebody.

This whole Cruz/Kasich team up is a terrible idea IMHO - it just feeds into the "system is rigged" theme that Trump has been pushing 2/3

If they can't beat Trump by divvying up states, Cruz & Kasich might have to take their cooperation to the next level

Spent the past week talking to Cruz/Kasich supporters in Indiana, and am skeptical how this will play with voters
