Romney’s Unpredictable Surrogate – Donald Trump
Recently, several prominent Democrats have come out against President Obama’s ads attacking Mitt Romney’s relationship with Bain Capital, a private equity firm. For its part, the Obama campaign has defended its ads and have tried to bring these Democrats back in line with the campaign’s message. Surrogates are beneficial to campaigns, but they also come with some measure of risk. In the Romney camp, Donald Trump is their principle high risk, high reward surrogate.

Romney Campaign Press Secretary Andrea Saul was on The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd today.

What they offer are critiques of the Obama administration based on generalities.

Hey Mitt, It Was A Republican Who Was President When The ‘Great Recession’ Began
I would like to remind Republicans, particularly presidential candidate Mitt Romney, that it was a Republican who was in the White House when the ‘great recession’ began. Romney can try to spin it as Obama’s economy or Obama’s recession, pretending that Obama was responsible for the worst recession since the great depression, but it was George W. Bush who was president at the time.
