Piers Morgan: “Mitt Romney might just save America”

CNN host Piers Morgan, who is not generally high on Republicans’ list of favorite talk show hosts, wrote a very lengthy editorial for the UK Daily Mail over the weekend, in which he lambasted Mitt Romney as “Mr. Flip Flop” and called him “the least principled politicians I’ve ever met”… but says that unprincipled flip-flopping son-of-a-gun might just be the man who can “save America.”

This might not be the most eagerly embraced endorsement to float across the transom over at Romney HQ, but given Morgan’s audience among American liberals, it’s an interesting development. Morgan’s characterization of Mr. Flip Flop’s adjusted political positions is not entirely fair – Romney was never “firmly pro-choice,” for example, and Morgan unreasonably oversimplifies the Romney critique of ObamaCare by saying that “On healthcare, he was the first governor to bring in a compulsory ‘mandate’ health insurance scheme. But when Obama did the same thing, he lambasted it as a terrible idea.” And I doubt the Tea Party feels quite as pampered by Romney’s outreach efforts as Morgan thinks they should.

But the conclusion Morgan reaches is that Romney’s personal character is so impeccable that he can be forgiven for a bit of political maneuvering. (Obama’s not exactly innocent of adjusting his positions, after all.) Morgan calls Romney “the squeakiest-clean man ever to run for the presidency in any country in the world,” hails his enormous personal donations to charity, and is particularly convinced that Romney’s proven ability to turn failing ventures around makes him the right man to clean up after Obama:


But how much does Romney’s flip-flopping actually matter to the result of the election? The main concern for Americans right now is the economy, after all. I asked Bill Clinton recently if he felt Romney was a ‘principled man’ and Clinton smiled: ‘That’s not the issue to me.’

And I suspect it’s not for most voters either. They just want to know which man, Romney or Obama, is going to revive the economy faster.

Obama is not a hated figure among most Americans by any means, which is why he may still scrape home. But there’s definitely a distinct disillusionment about his performance, even among many of his diehard supporters.

The great messianic tidal wave of optimism Obama swept in on has been replaced by harsh reality.

He promised Americans tremendous ‘hope’ and ‘change’ and, frankly, they don’t feel he’s given them much hope, or changed very much.

Morgan sums up his estimation with a quote from a “senior Republican figure,” who told him during the Republican convention, “Mitt’s not the kind of guy you’d go for a beer with, mainly because he doesn’t drink beer. But he’s the kind of guy who gets stuff done.” If his editorial reflects a growing sentiment among Left-leaning persuadable voters, Obama is in deep trouble.

And he might not. I rather suspect the latter.

Do right wingers ever have any ideas of their own, or can they only cut and paste?

IF a president is actually running the country..perhaps he,
they would have a shot at "saving" us.

The problem sinking this country is debt.

Sometimes we quote,
sometimes we cut&paste,
sometimes we opine topics,
and then...
there are those who criticize and label others who post in threads.

That's what everyone said about Obama.


When are people going to realize that it doesn't matter which puppet is installed as president? (And it will be Obama.)

They are both puppets, created, coached, primed and bought and paid for by the rich.

Theres no one president that is gonna "save " us he's not better nor worse is the whole thing is fallin little by little and am not been negative it needs to stop workin (the whole two parties elections) so they can do something about it

Save yourselves.

as it stands, congress runs it and so long as we have the do nothings there now,, we can forget about progressing,,,

This country has a real problem and that is we have a top two candidate system. The two parties do not want competition from 3rd party candidates so no body really knows there are choices, at least not those who don't pay attention. Until we put an end to the monopoly on our elections no body is going to do the right thing for the country. Democrats and republicans have been bought by corporations and neither side will vote or sign any bill into law unless it benefits big money.

money will always run this country,, no matter how many political labels/ parties we try to create

Money does not do anything.

People with money, vision, drive, ruthlessness who love to compete are the ones who run this country.

To them its one big game of monopoly.

Ever play monopoly? You have to be a ruthless a**hole to win that game.

Im not ruthless and I have won at monopoly, cause everyone plays the same game by the same rules,,,starts out with the same, has the literal same odds,,,,


unlike life,,,

but you are right, people with money rule things, and our best bet is that more DECENT and JUST persons make up that class of folks sometime in the near future,,,

I disagree, there are those who believe in country, life and liberty more then money. Not everyone can be bought, some have principles and morals to do the right thing.

those people no doubt exist, but I dont think they will make up the majority of any political party, because I dont think they make up the majority of the citizenry,,,

There is enough of em to do just that, problem is they are not on the take so they do not raise 500 million dollars like the top two candidates do therefore are unable to attract the attention needed to win an election. Part of this is apathy and laziness on the prat of voters who do not take time to look for alternatives. Most people are unaware that they have other choices, too busy watchin wheel of fortune and American idol I guess.

getting out and getting known is what helps 'raise' the money

OBama was not exactly a megamillionaire when he first ran, he got into senate and became well known,,,,

One thing is certain, Obama doesn't know what he is doing.

And now that he is known he is bought just like a majority of other big name politicians and part of problem, this obviously includes Romney.
