Romney v Nixon 1968 - Republican Primary, my how different things might have been had the media not been so eager to help a Republican candidate self-destruct.

Leave it to the main stream media to cherry pick one sentence, spin vigorously, and let the context and facts fall where they may. The media industrial complex.

Romney was a successful person, in the worldly sense. Also, he was successful politically and socially. Auto executive. Father. Religious leader. Willing and humble community servant.

He entered the primary, arguably was doing quite well, and uttered the words "brain washing" when describing parts of his tour of the war in Vietnam. Taken out of context, those words were used out of context and portrayed him as an anti-armed services, anti-American...and you get the idea.

Nothing could have been further from the truth.

No one checked his political record as Governor of Michigan, nor did they care to circle back and ask him for clarification. 

In fact, the bandwagon rolled on, and Romney withdrew, later becoming the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Where Nixon could keep an eye on him, and where Romney was so successful, he founded his own housing and community activism non-profit, eventually joining forces with the Thousand Points of Light Foundation started by the Bush family.

I've read everything I could on this primary, and I smell a huge rat. Romney was an exceptional leader, financial manager, community leader, and policy analyst. He was too good. So good that Republicans, Democrats, and media heads combined forces to derail him.

When Mitt Romney ran against Obama, the media painted him as a cultish do-gooder, leaping on un-checked videos pirated by Jimmy Carter's grandson, and piling on his binders comment. They made sure we learned to hate Mitt.

Now, Mitt is a media darling. Senator from Utah. A voice of reason. A leader who stands alone and apart.

The media industrial complex orchestrated the election of Nixon, just as they did Obama, and now Trump.

Both are symptoms of a divided nation, ideologies, mindsets. Neither of them is the cause. If at all, there is evidence that by virtue of who they are/were, contributions to the divisions ooze from their personas.

So when you think that your news network is non-partisan, or that if one candidate elected over another means that the world will all of the sudden stop burning and the environment will heal itself, you'd be a fool. 

If you think that your candidate is the only choice, so it is the lesser of evils, please know that lesser than evil is still evil. If you are willing to roll the dice on a vice-president or judge appointments, financial markets, war, etc., you are an idiot.

Look at what the media industrial complex is doing here, shadow-banned, de-platformed, cancelled, and all but non-existent. 

This is a page out of the playbook from 1968. And we are falling for it.

My prediction is that Trump will be elected to a second term, under a contested election. After two years, he will be impeached, and like Nixon, will temporarily fade away. 

Onward!
