Gee, Mia Love just showed Donald Trump no love.
In the Utah Republican's concession speech — in which she finally admitted she'd lost her House seat by 700 votes — Love took Trump to task for violating Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment.
"The President’s behavior towards me made me wonder: What did he have to gain by saying such a thing about a fellow Republican? This gave me a clear vision of his world as it is," she added. "No real relationships, just convenient transactions."
Well, brava, Mia — but you're two years too late. We cats wonder: What would have happened if she had declared her disgust with Trump sooner? On the other hand, this year more than 30 Republicans chose to retire rather than run with Trump looming in the background. Or, they ran and lost because of him.
Two questions come to mind:
Will any punditheads observe that no other Republicans have had the guts to do what Love did? (Although, as we've already noted, she was late. But it still beats not at all.)
Will the press ask Utah Senator-elect Willard Romney to comment on Love's speech? Because she also slammed the party he headed in 2012 for turning off minorities. "We feel like politicians claim they know what’s best for us from a safe distance," she said. "Yet they are never willing to take us home." We can only imagine how vilely the teabaggers are trashing Love online right now. And we HISS.
