No different than Catholics voting for Catholics, Protestants voting for Protestants or Jews voting for Jews. It’s the same thing.
He did this because he’s a jealous POS, and this was personal on his part.
What puzzles me is that Romney is so politically tone deaf that he would bolt the party on such an important vote, when it was easy to recognize that this would crush his reputation with voters.
Even a jealous POS can keep a finger in the political winds. And that’s not always a bad thing, as this is often the only way We the People get the attention of our elected representatives.
But Romney chose the opposite course, with no discernable political benefit to himself. If he had voted with the party, he’d still be a jealous POS, but he’d at least be a jealous POS who realizes that politics is the “art of the possible.”
Very strange.
