Lou Dobbs – Romney Tried Foreign Policy During 2012 Run – It Was A Disaster

Lou Dobbs helps put what seems like a more difficult task than necessary for Donald Trump into perspective, the selection of a Secretary of State. Dobs says, “The Trump team reportedly torn, somewhat. One candidate for the job spent his energy boosting Mr. Trump on the campaign trail, that of course, is Rudy Giuliani.”

Dobbs points out there is “another, who spent all of his energy attacking and undercutting him. That man is Governor Mitt Romney, who exhibited far more energy in his attacks against Trump than he ever displayed in his own run for the Presidency back in 2012. What kind of Secretary of State would he make?”

“We do, in fact, have some indication,” Dobbs says, “of just how Romney might perform as Secretary of State. In 2012, as he campaigned for the presidency, he decided to go on a big international trip. Here’s how that went. First stop – London. Mr. Romney began his gaffe-filled adventure in London. He decided to first criticize London’s preparations for the London Olympic Games, if you can believe that.”

Dobbs notes, “Romney actually said that the Brits’ construction plans and the Brits’ timetable just weren’t ‘encouraging,’ as he put it. He said there were, ‘disconcerting signs,’ rather ominous, don’t you think? His comments earned Romney a broadside attack from London’s officials and tabloids, stinging and strong rebukes from all sorts of officials including London’s mayor. Romney never found his footing. At one point he appeared to forget the name of the Labour Party leader.” Dobbs plays a clip showing Romney doing exactly that and also one in which he blabbed about having met with the leader of MI6.

Mr. Dobbs says that Romney went on to Israel and Poland following his blunder-laden London experience and had similar experiences there. Dobbs recalls that “When Romney returned home, he was widely panned for what turned out to be a disastrous venture into diplomacy. It turned out to be something of a sad trial run, wouldn’t you say? Well, I do.”

Shall we say that there were several “disconcerting signs,” Mr. Dobbs?
