Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) chastised President Trump for “recklessly inflaming destructive and dangerous passions. Even if his claim of a stolen election is true, raising that issue at this late date threatens our democracy. Democratic cheating is, as former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) points out, ‘a time-honored tradition.’ Saner Republicans have long realized that this is something we must learn to live with lest we fatality undermine the unity necessary for Democrats to govern.”
“Back in the 1960 election, Richard Nixon was aware that the election was marred by fraudulent votes in Illinois, but decided that for the good of the nation not to contest the election of his opponent,” Romney recalled. “This saved the nation a lot of turmoil and strife. The silver lining was that John Kennedy turned out to be a great president. In the 2000 election George Bush balked at the time-honored tradition. He fought against the Democrats’ attempt to selectively recount ballots in Florida, took the case to the Supreme Court and won. This unleashed eight years of highly contentious relationships between the two Parties.”
“Contentious relationships is an apt description of the four years that Trump has been president,” Romney said. “Haven’t we had our fill of this? Haven’t the America people suffered enough? Once fraudulent votes have been counted it’s too late. There’s no way to extract the wrongly counted from the legitimate votes. I don’t see how Trump’s efforts to try to exclude illegal votes from valid votes can succeed. Asking the Supreme Court to untangle this mess will just drag out the uncertainty and further inflame political animosity.”

Romney can’t “slam” anything.
LOLOLOL
Maybe he could bitch slap it, but I’m still not convinced.
Democracy is DEAD, it died in Philadelphia...
The best thing about your work is your use of genuine quotes of the involved parties. Anybody can just make up stuff. (like those bee people) Thanks for being ‘here’.
Nobody cares what Romney says!
