Mitt Romney Sweeps All Five Primaries Tonight

WASHINGTON (AP/The Blaze) — Mitt Romney laid claim to the fiercely contested Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night with a fistful of primary triumphs, then urged all who struggle in a shaky U.S. economy to “hold on a little longer, a better America begins tonight.”

You can read the full text of Romney’s remarks here.

And the highlight of the speech, where he previews his general election strategy, here:

Eager to turn the political page to the general election, Romney accused President Barack Obama of “false promises and weak leadership.” He declared, “Everywhere I go, Americans are tired of being tired, and many of those who are fortunate enough to have a job are working harder for less.”

The former Massachusetts governor spoke as he swept primaries in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York, the first since Rick Santorum conceded the nomination.

“Mitt Romney is going to be the nominee, and I’m going to support the nominee,” the former Pennsylvania senator said on CNN. He added he intended to meet on Wednesday with the winner’s aides.

Romney, speaking to cheering supporters, in New Hampshire, said, “The last few years have been the best Barack Obama can do, but it’s not the best America can do.”

He delivered his remarks to a national television audience as well from the state where he won his first primary of the campaign and one of about a dozen states expected to be battlegrounds in the summer and fall campaign for the White House.

Obama campaigned during the day in two others — North Carolina and Colorado — making the case that, however slowly, the economy is growing stronger.

“Our businesses have added more than 4 million jobs over the past two years, but we all know there’s still too many Americans out there looking for work or trying to find a job that pays enough to cover the bills and make the mortgage,” the president said.

“We still have too many folks in the middle class that are searching for that security that started slipping away years before the recession hit.”

Six months before the election, opinion polls show the economy to be the top issue by far in the race. The same surveys point toward a close contest, with several suggesting a modest advantage for the incumbent.

Obama won the presidency in 2008 in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression, and since then economic growth has rebounded slowly and joblessness has receded gradually, although housing prices continue to drop in many areas of the country.

In an indication that Romney was treating the moment Tuesday night as something of an opening of the general election campaign, his speech seemed aimed at the millions of voters — non-conservatives and others — who have yet to pay close attention to the race for the White House.

He blended biographical details, an attack on Obama and the promise of a better future, leaving behind his struggle to reassure conservative voters who have been reluctant to swing behind his candidacy.

“As I look around at the millions of Americans without work, the graduates who can’t get a job, the soldiers who return home to an unemployment line, it breaks my heart,” he said. “This does not have to be. It is the result of failed leadership and of a faulty vision.”

Obama, unchallenged for the Democratic nomination, has a head start in organizing, fundraising and other elements of the campaign.

Already, he and aides are working to depict Romney and Republicans as pursuing new tax breaks for the wealthy while seeking to cut programs that benefit millions of victims of the recession as well as other lower-income Americans.

The president campaigned on two college campuses during the day, pitching his proposal to prevent a scheduled increase in the interest rate on new student loans.

Romney, freed of serious primary competition, announced his own general support for the proposal, even though it appears a GOP-drafted budget in the House envisioned no effort to change the pending increase.

Determined to make up for lost time, Romney has recently accelerated his fundraising, announced the beginning of a process to search for a vice presidential running mate and begun reaping endorsements from party officials who declined to do so in the heat of the primary campaign.

Santorum offered no endorsement in a televised appearance during the evening but said he expected to meet with Romney in the future, adding he would sit down with the former governor’s aides on Wednesday.

In his remarks, Romney spoke dismissively of Obama’s tenure in office.

“Government is at the center of his vision. It dispenses the benefits, borrows what it cannot take and consumes a greater and greater share of the economy,” he said.

He added that if the president’s hard-won health care law is fully installed, “government will continue to control half the economy, and we will have effectively ceased to be a free enterprise society.”

By contrast, he said, “I see an America with a growing middle class, with rising standards of living. I see children even more successful than their parents…”

Romney was eager to leave the nominating campaign behind.

“After 43 primaries and caucuses, many long days and not a few long nights, I can say with confidence — and gratitude — that you have given me a great honor and solemn responsibility,” he said.

Romney posed a series of rhetorical questions designed to lead voters to his side.

“Is it easier to make ends meet? Is it earlier to sell your home or buy a new one? Have you saved what you needed for retirement?” he asked.

“Are you making more in your job? Do you have a better chance to get a better job? Do you pay less at the pump?”

At each question, his partisan audience shouted, “No.”

The nominating campaign that still had some loose ends, including the pursuit of national convention delegates.

Romney is still hundreds of delegates shy of a nominating majority, although he is far ahead of his most persistent rivals. There were 209 at stake in Tuesday’s primaries, and he won at least 52, with his haul expected to grow significantly.

That left him with 750 delegates of the 1,144 needed for the nomination, compared with 260 for Santorum, 137 for Newt Gingrich and 75 for Ron Paul.

Santorum suspended his campaign two weeks ago rather than risk losing a primary in his home state of Pennsylvania.

Gingrich, too, seemed to be heading toward the sidelines, although he said he intends to complete his plans for several days of campaigning in North Carolina.

They are setting us up. Than they will pull back and vote Obama last minute. Plus who in the world are voting for Romney. What do you like about this man? Usually I vote for a candidate that believes mostly the same as me. Romney isn’t a Republican. I have no idea what you guys see in this man, it quite shocks me, but if you really want Obama re-elect, than strap up and be ready because it’s going to happen if this Clown wins the GOP nomination.

      Romney doesn’t have the delegates yet, even though the corrupt MSM wants you to go ahead and accept the “presumptive nominee” narrative.
      For the ones who don’t understand the process, it’s the DELEGATES that count, not the MSM straw poll dog and pony show.
      Paul just swept 15 of the 17 members of the nominating committee in Iowa, and the majority of the delegates in Minnesota, Colorado, Nevada, and a few other states.
      The delegate counts they show you on the teevee are not even close to the actual numbers.,

      This doesn’t even factor in the possible stealth Paul delegates that are moving toward Tampa.

      It should get interesting.

      If the National RNC delegates don’t wake up in time and nominate Paul, then Romrhoid is going to lose come November.
      Not because Paul supporters will sit out, but because there is no excitement Romrhoid.

      Paul draws sold out, overflowing crowds of 2 to 8000+ people EVERYWHERE he goes.

      Romrhoid can’t even draw a few hundred.

      Romrhoid is a crony capitalist and a progressive chameleon, sponsored by the same bankers that got us into this mess in the first place.

      BTW, Paul just BEAT Romrhoid in a Rasmussen head to head poll against Ohmamma. Sure it was only by one point, but that’s not the point.
      Paul has the most military support.
      The most youth and Independent support.
      The most recovering Democrat support.

      Romrhoid has changed positions more times than a porn star, and will get crushed. Mark my words.

      @aChameleon,

      “Romney is a Capitalist, obama is a marxist/socialist/communist. Next question.”

      Romney isn’t a free market guy, he’s a Corporatist.

      The man thinks a VAT might be a good idea, and he wants there to be automatic Minimum Wage hikes to keep up with inflation.

      Romney is clueless. VATs are hidden taxes that Socialist countries use. The Minimum Wage causes unemployment by pricing out the less skilled workers. And inflation (for the purpose of keeping prices from falling) is CAUSED by increasing the money supply, which can only be done with a fiat currency.

      A lot of what government does is unconstitutional. You don’t need a Minimum Wage to keep up with inflation because price deflation is a GOOD thing, if it happens in a precious metal currency standard. And inflation is the reason why we have booms and busts, including the recent housing crash.

      Romney believes government is the solution. He will be a disaster if he wins the election, and he will seem to discredit the free market when his policies make the coming crash worse.

      You know, you people who think Mittens??? that is what you call him and you support him???? is going to be able to win, are delusional. I see a couple old Paul supporters giving in to the media bias and I forgive you. I know the establishment has the very best propoganda machine in the world. What you are not realizing, the straw polls do not matter. Does not matter who wins the election night results, it is delegates at the convention that matters in this. I am having serious doubts, that Romney can get 1144 hard delegates. That is what it takes to have the nomination wrapped up. A couple states gave up half of their “hard” delegates in order to move the primary up. Why did they do this? The GOP thought that Romney would be able to wrap it up by winning. They did not count on Ron Paul. Didn’t you notice, after it was apparant that Paul was a factor in iowa, the media pretty much blacked him out so the masses would just follow the medias voice. The real problem is you guys, who get opportunities to see the things the media hides, yet you do not click on the link, or once you see it is pro-Paul, you end it. Blindness. Paul has a real chance of winning this, giving up now is not an option. If you want to know the mindset of Paul supporters, go to the Paul sites and read their posts. Enlightening.

      “What you are not realizing, the straw polls do not matter. Does not matter who wins the election night results, it is delegates at the convention that matters in this.”

      True. We are not a democracy but a Constitutional Republic. We do not vote for the President, the delegates do.

      And we should not want it any other way. A democracy, as our Founders noted, would favor the biggest faction. By having delegates from different districts vote, it’s more difficult for one faction to gain a majority influence.

      See here.

      Federalist Papers #10
      http://www.constitution.org/fed/federa10.htm

      “From this view of the subject it may be concluded that a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication and concert result from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”

      JJ, Yeah, when the government gets to the point that they come and start hauling patriotic Americans to jail for talking bad about the government, and we want to rise up, good luck with your shotgun against the world police automatic weapons. Man, people that do not really understand the true meaning of the second amendment. The second amendment is not about hunting whatsoever (Mitt Romney’s idea of it), it is about every persons right to defend their property and loved ones from any outside force, even our own government. Those that set the Constitution aside, do so at their own peril. We are about finished as a nation, the once greatest nation on the face of the earth. Now we are becoming like the rest of the countries on this planet, for the sake of what? Party line? The answer to our problems lie in the Constituion, they always have but we have lost sight of that. I know I did for quite some time. I woke up.

      What are you talking about??? I never mentioned hunting.
      You are fully capable of protecting your home with an arsenal of legal weapons.
      You don’t need fully automatic weapons and when the laws were written in the 1700s, neither the government nor the people HAD such weapons.
      Obama may have grand intentions of taking away your weapons, but Mitt does not.
      And if the government comes storming into your home, a fully automatic weapon isn’t going to save you anyway.

      JJ, your argument that our founding fathers did not have automatic weapons, and thus we shouldn’t, is false. Here is why, the Americans used military grade hardware of their time, in fact, some of their rifles were better than the British ones because of the rifling, they made them more accurate. The 2nd Amendmant is there as the answer when the ballot box no longer works, and the government does not listen to the people any longer. Any other lawful activity you would have the weapon for, such as trap shooting and hunting, have nothing to do with it. As for the assault weapons ban, it wasn’t automatic weapons, it was semi-auto assault type rifles, ones that any free citizen should have every right to own. Nice attempt at deflecting, but automatic weapons are considered military/leo police grade weapons, something we haven’t been able to own for some time now. The Assault weapons ban was on weapons we could already own, such as the SKS or AR15. There is no good reason for the ban on automatic weapons, if a criminal really wants them, they will get em easily. It merely tips the scales against the lawful gun owner who would only use a firearm in the manner it should be used for.

      There are a lot of Ron Paul supporters, and I do not think you people even realize the numbers. The majority of us have given pledges that we will not vote for Romney, but only Paul, even if we have to write his name in. That is not a threat, you can not reason with us, Paul has the most loyal supporters than any candidate I have ever experienced, and this will be my 9th Presidential vote. We will do as we say, as we are not just voting for the President, but for freedom everywhere. This is a R3VOLUTION and we consider ourselves at war right now. A political war at this point in time, but a war nevertheless. You can post back saying ridiculous things like: A vote for Paul will be a vote for Obama. Crap! A vote for Romney is a vote for Obama light. They are the same in many ways. If you have the guts, watch this video to the very end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWDJEc92d38&feature=youtu.be

      If Ron Paul is not the nominee I might just vote for Obama, not because I agree with him, in fact, I despise him. But like Glenn said in his original show, a frog slowly boiled won’t jump out. With Obama things will happen faster and will be more shocking. With Romney, Obama/Bush’s socialist corporatist policies will still happen but more slowly and more palatable to the ignorant masses. Just like Bush’s TSA, Homeland Security and Patriot act were unquestioned, Romney’s acts to dismantle freedom will go unanswered.

      There really is no difference between Romney and Obama. The only difference is the pace. Both Value the police state over freedom. Both like taxes. The difference in spending is only on what they want to waste tax payer money on. Even then it is negligible. Both are for Bailouts. Both are for Social engineering through government. Romney is the architect of Obamacare. Both are for Subsidies. Both are two faced liars. Any difference between them is superficial. They are both undeniable STATIST.

      “If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.” -Ronald Reagan

      Although I’m not a Romney “fan”, I believe he can be persuaded and will follow principles directly opposite to the current election thief. I also believe that when Romney experiences opposition by his own party to an unpopular policy, he will have the candor to remit. Just keep in mind that voter fraud notwithstanding, we will overtake the opposition and continue down the road a little poorer but with time to breathe and time to help ourselves and our countrymen and women toward a future better suited to the free.

    for a Romney win. I was a tea party supporter, but it is their way or the highway. They are tearing
    the whole Republican party apart with their strict conservative opinions. As far left as this country
    is today and the cuts that need to be made to save it, it will take the hand of God to lead us back to
    once again be leaders with integrity. My suggestion for these talking heads to go back and study
    the Goldwater campaign. We had the young turks with their idealistic ideas back then too, and look how that turned out. Now that Romney seems to be the winner what we hear is “:oh I will support him if I must.” Way to go folks welcome to the next four years of hell.

      goldwater was the best thing that happend to the republican party. after 100 years of progressivism in the republican party, goldwater brought back the spirit of individualism and freedom. without goldwater, there would have been no reagan (even reagan said so)

      besides, part of the reason goldwater lost is because the moderates and the progressives did not back him (people like george romney). now the shoe is on the other foot
