Mitt Romney is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts, about Donald Trump

Mitt Romney's much publicized speech last week was all anti-Trump. That's his choice, but he cannot choose to misrepresent the facts. Also, he chose to ignore the overwhelming number of people who have given Donald Trump the lead in the Republican delegate count so far. Romney's first false accusation was that Trump's domestic policies would send this economy into a deep recession. Really! Trump's published tax plan helps the economy with lower rates and simplicity. Secondly, his just released health insurance solution to replace ObamaCare helps the economy and provides a dramatic boost to families.

Both of those plans are anti-recession. They will boost the economy and encourage businesses to expand and create new jobs. That's a fact! Reducing taxes alone has always boosted economic growth, although Democrats usually find a way to kill that growth with lies about the impact of lower taxes. Additionally, replacing ObamaCare with a patient-driven competitive system is a no-brainier except to the Democrats, who are so much in denial about the failures of ObamaCare, they see failure as the new normal. Not all of the people are that stupid! I do not agree with or condone all of the political noise in this presidential race, nor do I agree with everything Trump says or the way he says it. That's his style. But he is right on the two biggest threats to our economic future, and Mitt Romney is dead wrong. Unfortunately, Mitt is being misled with faulty analysis by people with political agendas rather than what's good for the people. I know, because that's how opponents of mine tried to discredit my 9-9-9 plan when I ran for president four years ago.

Fortunately, Romney's attacks on Trump are backfiring, as the "conservative establishment" continues to try to stop Trump. Here's a common sense suggestion! Let the people's voices be heard! They are obviously not reacting to the political noise, the personal attacks back and forth among the candidates or the name calling. Maybe the people supporting Trump are rejecting politics as usual. Mike Huckabee recently put it well when he reminded us – on behalf of The People – that he Republican presidential race is an election. It is not a selection by a few ideological conservatives. Mitt, you became the face of the anti-Trump establishment. If I have to be a lone voice in the wilderness, I will be a voice of The People. Let the voters decide on the Republican presidential nominee, and then, support the nominee. Otherwise, you are helping the Democrats. Wake up!
