DDP Executive Director Joe Aronson’s Statement On Results Of Delaware Republican Primary
(WILMINGTON, DE) – Delaware Democratic Party Executive Director Joe Aronson released the following statement tonight on the results of the Delaware Republican Primary:
“No one should be surprised at Mitt Romney’s performance tonight. The real story is how he got here and what his candidacy will mean going forward. Mitt Romney is likely the most extreme presumptive nominee for a major party in recent history – and he’ll be leading the most conservative Republican Party in 100 years.
“Mitt Romney will repeat his claims that as Governor he created jobs, cut debt, and shrank the Massachusetts government. But in reality, he keeps rehashing the same, failed economic policies that created the economic crisis in the first place. Romney would let Wall Street write its own rules again, end Medicare as we know it in an attempt to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, and explode the deficit by $5 trillion in the next ten years.
“Romney’s record as Governor shows us exactly the leadership he has to offer: under Mitt, Massachusetts was 47th out of 50 in job creation. Romney also sent jobs overseas and raised taxes by $750 million a year on middle-class families.
“Mitt Romney can give yet another economic speech today. But his rhetoric can’t hide his record, and his record of losing jobs and leaving the middle class behind is turning off the very voters he would need in November.”
