Mitt Romney’s Holding A Republican Retreat And Invited… Joe Biden???

Most of the time, I genuinely like Mitt Romney. I still think he would have made a terrific president, had the media not made him out to be this awful monster who cuts dude’s hair and put his dog on the roof of his car (THE HORRORS!)

But then he goes and does crap like this.

According to this, Mitt Romney is holding a retreat for prominent Republicans and big money donors in Park City, Utah. Among those invited to speak is former Vice-President Joe Biden – who, you will probably recall, isn’t actually a Republican –

Just days after launching a new political action committee, former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden will join Republican officials and donors at a weekend retreat hosted by former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

Biden will be interviewed by Romney during a Friday evening event in Park City, at the invitation-only summit, according to a Biden spokesman and participants briefed on the schedule. The speaker lineup for what is traditionally a gathering of Romney allies is packed with high-profile Republicans, among them House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sens. Lindsey Graham and John McCain.

Oh, I know exactly why Biden would have agreed to this stunt. The Democrats see Republicans like Romney, McCain, and Graham as “good Republicans.” The ones who know that their place is in the back of the room, nodding their heads and rolling over while the Democrats turn America into a crater of progressive big government policies and never stand up for themselves. That’s the kind of bipartisanship that the Democrats believe in.

But if Mitt Romney actually thinks that Joe Biden is going to offer any kind of advice that doesn’t end with Republicans being the Democrats’ door mats for the foreseeable future, he’s taken a momentary lapse in judgement.

As much as I still do like Romney as a human being, as a politician he’s out of his mind. He might not have noticed (or maybe he’s living with wishful thinking), but the time for playing nicey-nice with the Democrats is WAAAAAAAY past over. It’s a nice thought, but in reality it doesn’t work very well. Sorry, but it’s true.

Then again, I guess we should be grateful to Mitt for one thing: his presidential candidacy basically paved the way for Donald Trump.
