Mitt Romney blasts Hillary Clinton as 'clueless'

Mitt Romney had some harsh words on Sunday for the person many believe will be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2016: Hillary Clinton.

"Consider what's happened around the world during the years that she was secretary of state," the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential nominee said on NBC's "Meet The Press," calling her tenure "a monumental bust."

Romney slammed U.S. foreign policy, saying both Clinton and President Barack Obama have "repeatedly underestimated" America's enemies on the international stage.

"This administration, from Secretary Clinton to President Obama, has repeatedly underestimated the threats that are faced by America," Romney said. "It has repeatedly underestimated our adversaries. And whether that's Russia or [Syrian President Bashir] Assad or ISIS or Al Qaeda itself, it has not taken the action necessary to prevent things from happening. We have not used our influence to do what's necessary to protect our interests."

Corporatist.

Surrounded by yes-men and sycophants.
Out of touch with ordinary Americans.
Defensive and gaffe-prone.
"Inevitable."

Think about it...

for him to call someone else clueless can't be taken seriously.

This is the guy who truly believed right up until the last that he had the election sewed up. You can't be more clueless than that.

The fact that he, up until the final call of the election and maybe even after that, believed he was going to win was surprising. I actually thought Mitt Romney was just trying to put on a happy face when he claimed he was going to win the election and had only written a victory speech. However, I think his problem was more arrogance and entitlement. For all his insults aimed at those who supposedly felt entitled he was the one who actually felt entitled. It seems he really believed he was going to be President because he deserved to be President.

Honestly, Hillary's tenure as SoS was pretty good. Could she have done better? Of course, everyone could have done better. But it's a real stretch to call her tenure a "bust".

I think the Clintons have struggled to get much past a net worth of $30 or $40 million after their near-bankruptcy in 2008. Hillary has said they're in a better financial state now, and obviously anyone worth such a pittance is totally clueless if they think they're on sound financial footing.
