Well, you have your opinion about Donald Trump and I have mine .... similarly with regard to Romney. From what I have read by those who have ACTUALLY worked with Trump and have ACTUALLY associated with Trump, the persona of Donald Trump that he puts out there in the public arena, is not exactly who he is. As they have stated, Trump has spent most of his life within a very competitive and Deal-Making-Related environment. And he has had to deal with a "sea full of sharks and charlatans and very tough and nasty competitors". And when you are constantly in that environment it is far better that your competitors can't always "read you" and that they never know how you are going to act or react in numerous circumstances. There's no doubt that Donald Trump is a Super-Confident Person with an Ego to match. But that Self Confidence and Positive View of himself has enabled him to take on Major Challenges and be successful in the process. Donald Trump is a man Who Gets Things Done .... He doesn't Pussy-Foot around, especially when he believes that what he has decided to do, AND what he has promised to do, IS THE CORRECT COURSE OF ACTION .... But, from what I've been told about him by those who would know, he is well respected within the business environment that he has moved in over many years. If he says "It's a Deal" and he shakes on it, then it remains a Deal. And when he walked onto many of his construction sites where he was building something, he would generally go and mix and communicate with the artisans and the crews, because he knew many of them by name due to the fact that he had worked with them on numerous previous occasions because he valued the previous quality of their work. So one should also ask oneself, .... "How many previous Presidents of the USA have made pre-Election promises and then, if they became President, actually went hell-for-leather to keep them as best as they were able to within the Constraints and the 'Checks-and-Balances' environment of the American Political and Administrative system ??" "How many Presidents of the USA have been prepared to carry out their Presidential duties and have taken an Annual Salary of $1 ?? And let's not forget that there have been other American Presidents who were also very well off and who also "didn't need the money"." But like I said, you believe what you wish to believe, and I'll do likewise .... And If I wish to refer to Romney as a Narcissist then I'll just continue to do so, because that's my considered opinion of that man ......... bruwin

Mitt Romney made a strong stance toward character and global leadership. I saw none of that when Obama walked all over him and then Candy Crowley did too. I saw no backbone. No inner convictions. Not anywhere near enough self respect. Many voters calling in to a talk show today for several hours from Utah were not impressed and were warned about Romney. Most expected this, but not on the first day as a Junior Senator. They also denied his reports of widespread support to go after Trump. Not a bit factual according to them. IMO, Trump took the high road with this matter (so far) and Romney is now dead to the entire Republican base.
