Romney was like this in the 47% video about the factory in China.

And, and, and around this factory was a fence, a huge fence with barbed wire and guard towers. And, and, we said gosh! I can't believe that you, you know, keep these girls in! They said, no, no, no. This is to keep other people from coming in.

Who was "they"? The people showing rich Americans around to encourage them to invest. Maybe they called themselves 'guides', but ultimately that wasn't their real job. Their real job was as...

The salesmen. Close the deal and bring in the bucks. All the better if they're big enough suckers to believe it.

And Romney, a man for whom quality was far from Job One, Mitt "a better Amercia" Romney, was a crackerjack businessman compared to Trump.

They're suckers. Wave some cash under their nose and their brains leak out their ears.

Especially big square-jaw white guys in fancy suits with big shoulder pads and a radio voice like Raygun.

The second type is anyone that's filthy rich or those that can in any way enhance their power or income.

They'll follow those types to the depths of hell.

It's sad and infuriating, but the rest of the decent world sees it as "despicable U.S.". See TrumPutin and the GOP.

End this misrepresentation -- GOTV.
