Matt Schlapp: I'd Be Afraid for Mitt Romney's Safety at CPAC

Schlapp must have a pretty dim opinion of CPAC attendees I guess.

Romney is going to be in for a rough few years, at least until the base turns on Trump and claims never to have backed him.

It is this kind of Rhetoric…schlapps not yours…that causes all of this politically related violence and threatening rhetoric.

A man is not safe at his own conservative convention. This kind of violent political rhetoric needs to stop on all sides. I’m fed up with it.

CPAC chair…might just as well invite people to take a swing at Romney. Or worse.

All over the Internet.

You do realize some people on the internet really are tough?

I know.

Tough guys rarely brag about how tough they are on the Internet.

They don’t have to.

You confuse stating facts with bragging.

No I’m not but thanks for playing.

I’m not sure why Schlapp can’t vouch for the safety of candidates. That’s disturbing.

Incredibly stupid thing for the CPAC Chairman to say.

He could have just said the truth, which is “We are incredibly butt hurt that you voted guilty on one of the Articles of Impeachment, so we are having a meltdown temper tantrum and you can’t come to our meeting.”

Instead of the truth, above, he instead takes what amounts to a giant dump on the entire conservative community.

He implies that conservatives are so incredibly unhinged that Romney faces injury or assassination by an unhinged conservative lunatic if he shows up at CPAC.

I don’t think Romney actually would face a credible threat of violence were he to show up, but the Chairman essentially **** upon himself and upon CPAC by essentially saying that is the case.

The Chairman should immediately resign and retire from political life for saying something so incredibly ******* stupid and ******* his own political movement in the process.

Nah, if you refer to yourself as a tough guy and it isn’t true than you’re just a keyboard warrior. However, if you have to tell people you are a tough guy and it is true, well that would be the definition of bragging!

The difference is, in my case it is demonstrably true. It is an objective statement of fact.

He’s underwater in local polling.

Yup. I live in Utah and there are plenty of folks here who voted Mitt into office when Hatch retired that are furious with him for voting against Trump in the impeachment trial.
I think it’ll be interesting to see what happens when he’s up for reelection in 2024. Will people remember the feeling of betrayal? Of course, he’ll be 77 then. Will he even want to run?

Seems the Republican voters in Utah aren’t very perceptive if they didn’t see this happening. He was pretty clearly anti-Trump from before the Senate election. How did they not get this?
Since he is in for the duration of Trumps second term, should he have one, its a little late to be outraged. The only thing to do now is grin and bear it. There’s always the possibility of his having control of the balance between Democrats and Republicans for control of the Senate. My guess is the Dems would make some nice offers to him to turn coat.
And he would take it in a second and then congratulate himself on his own piety for selling out.

Not really. The current GOP are a bunch of toxic people who want party purity right now.

It’s not hard to figure out. The heads on pike moment was factual. It just gave you guys something to whine over till you were ready to actually do it.

You people

westaussie · 2020-02-11T07:52:05.800Z

Isn’t Mitch McConnell currently 77 and I understand that he is up for re-election this November? So it would appear that Romney could well stand for re-election in 2024.

Nah- Romney votes with conservatives on most issues. I think he’ll be fine heading up the Sane wing of the GOP.

Covfefe · 2020-02-11T16:52:37.301Z

I do love that the GOP is going with the guy who tweets profanity rich clips that are mocking all MAGA people and tearing down the morally upstanding rock solid conservative Romney.

Upsy downsy world.

So you disagree with the CPAC Chairman?

If this is an example of your level of discernment…it isn’t very good?

My level of discernment noticed that you didn’t answer the question.

He should run third party this year…call it the “Real Conservative Party”.
