While his business ability can be debated, it is a near certainty that, in the political sphere, The Donald is damaged goods. His bizarre obsession with President Obama’s birth certificate not only made him a poster child for modern fringe conspiracy theorists, it also lowered the ideological level of the conflict between conservatives and liberals over the President’s policies. In fact, his inability to have an intelligent conversation about modern politics prompted several Republicans to turn down attending a debate that was to be hosted by Trump.
His credentials as a fiscal or social conservative, aside from recently-voiced opinions on morning talk shows, are non-existent. Trump has even financially backed several prominent Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and U.S. Representative Charles Rangel.
So as the weekend rolls on Mitt Romney better hope that some more interesting piece of political errata drifts past the camera lenses of our voracious 24 news media. The sooner the world forgets that he stood next to, and accepted the endorsement of, Donald Trump, the better off he will be.

I think the leftist media wants Romney to get the nomination because the feel BO can beat him.
