From the floor of the Republican National Convention, Connecticut delegate Rob Simmons broke with GOP orthodoxy to speak up for gay rights, then took a second unorthodox stance—predicting a Romney victory in Connecticut this year.

Simmons offered his thoughts on the floor of the Tampa Bay Times Forum Thursday evening, where he was seated with the rest of the Connecticut Republican delegation to hear former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney’s official acceptance of the GOP nomination for president.

Click the play arrow to hear Simmons, a former Army colonel and U.S. Rep, opine.

Rob Simmons’ views do NOT represent the CT Republican Party. It’s why he lost his race for the Senate nomination. So what do the so-called ‘leaders’ of the CTGOP do? They make him a delegate. Many of the other delegates are really liberals, too. They will lose and lose big. THEY THINK THEY ARE SO SMART - watch what happens on election day.

Didn’t people stop listening to Rob Simmons about 6 years ago or was t 8? Either way who really cares what Rob Simmons thinks?

Jesterr72: You are jesting—of course. Obama won’t be able to carry himself into office, so his ticket will lose, also. Don’t drink too much after Democrats lose big time on Election evening—“to drown your sorrow!”
