Twitter Followers Dump on Trump

Donald Trump, you all know him right? The most pompous asset the Republican party have right now, weighed in on the ongoing debate of Mitt Romney’s financial secrets. Trump took to Twitter and tweeted his support for Romney keeping his secrets from the American people, with the following tweet;

Suggesting that the president is lying about his education – a claim Trump has held ever since he captured the public’s attention with his baseless suggestions that President Obama was born in Kenya, Trump’s tweet caused a little stir among other twitter followers.

Here are some responses.

Chris Christie Hits Mitt Romney – “You Can’t Lead…”

Last time we mentioned Chris Christie in a post, he was busy chasing after someone on a boardwalk in New Jersey after an apparent criticism was lodged his way. “You’re a real big-shot!” Christie shouted, after the man passed by. “You’re a real big-shot, shooting your mouth off!”

We are mentioning him again because of something else he said on Monday.

Mr. Christie, a supporter of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Flip Romney and himself a possible vice presidential candidate, spoke before an audience at the Brookings Institute in Washington, D.C. No, it is not that Christie actually spoke instead of shouting at the audience that made news, it is what he said and the obvious relevance of his message to Flip Romney that had people talking.

Romney, as you all know is a flip-flopper. He constantly changes his position in a blatant attempt to get votes. With that in mind, listen to the words of Chris Christie as he delivered a message any flip flopper should understand.

“We shouldn’t be listening to political consultants whispering in our ears, ‘Say as little as possible,’ we shouldn’t be listening to those voices that say, ‘Just use the party doctrine and don’t stray.’ We should be telling people how we think and how we feel and let them judge us up or down. […] You can’t lead by being a mystery. You can’t lead by being an enigma. You can’t lead by being aloof. You can’t lead by being programmed. I think you have to lead by being yourself and who you are and then people will trust you. And when they trust you, they will follow you.”

No names necessary. This was a hit at what is unfortunately becoming a Romney trait – selling your soul to gain a vote.

David Plouffe – The Rich Are Buying The White House for Mr. Romney

White House senior adviser David Plouffe on Tuesday explained that presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney had raised massive amounts of money in June because rich people were “trying to purchase the White House.”

During an interview on ABC, host George Stephanopoulos asked Plouffe if President Barack Obama was on track to lose after Romney raised $35 million more than him last month.

“Money matters in politics,” Plouffe said. “We’re running a great campaign. We have millions of volunteers out there registering voters, donating 25 or 50 dollars. But you have to have enough money to run and win your campaign.”

“And our big concern is these super PACs,” he added. “You’ve got a few wealthy people lining up trying to purchase the White House for Mr. Romney.”

Over the weekend, Romney raised millions of dollars in a single day by holding three fundraisers at the homes of wealthy donors in the Hamptons, including a mansion owned by conservative billionaire David Koch.

President Obama Hits Pretender Romney On Financial Secrecy

President Obama himself has jumped into the flap over Mitt Romney’s tax returns, saying voters are entitled to more information on the Republican’s offshore bank accounts.

“What’s important is if you are running for president is that the American people know who you are and what you’ve done and that you’re an open book,” Obama told WMUR-TV of Manchester, N.H., in an interview on Monday.

“And that’s been true of every presidential candidate dating all the way back to Mitt Romney’s father,” Obama added.

Obama’s campaign has also released a new video on Romney’s finances.

George Romney, then the governor of Michigan, released 12 years of tax returns when he sought the presidency in 1968.

Mitt Romney has released only his most recent tax returns; Obama’s camp is demanding more as they raise questions about Romney’s overseas accounts, and whether he has used them to avoid paying U.S. taxes.
