He's not acting in the best interests of the country, or working Americans,
or middle class Americans, or business in general.

He's working for the 5% at the top.

Same ol', same ol'

In other words, NO CREDIBILITY, NO LEGITIMACY

He is SO dense that he doesn't even see the NEED to
perpetuate the ILLUSION that he's there for the other 95%

Make my Day, Mitt!
