I would rather be stabbed in the chest by a Charlie Baker who we know is ideologically aligned with the Left, than be stabbed in the back by a scumbag like Cornyn.

People must be pissed about him down there.

[NWFree]

That’s like calling someone a traitorous slimeball 🤪

Mitt Romney is a disgrace to his Party, his Denomination, and his Nation.

Fvck the NRA.

I turned in my Life Membership years ago. Wayne LaPierre is NO patriot.

[Dr. Sivana]

This makes sense, as not a lot of people remember Nelson Rockefeller, and not enough know Christine Todd Whitman or Lowell P. Weicker, and keeping track of the Bushes is complicated.

[EC Washington]

Mitt Romney = Traitor

[Roccus]

Nobody remembers Rockefeller?
I was there when, as a new Governor, he was booed publicly at the NY Coliseum.

Being called a Rockefeller Republican was far from an endearment.

[Dr. Sivana]

Romney is the #1 recipient of NRA money, and it isn’t even close at all.
He got around $13 million dollars.
The NRA is a coopted organization it seems

I want to know the NRA excuse, to keep him on the reservation? It is not like Utah is going to elect a Gabby Giffords or Sarah Brady-type to the U.S. Senate.

[Dr. Sivana]

for some reason the GOP decided he was the man to take the presidency by storm.

Maybe because they were so impressed by fellow Massachusettsians Mike Dukakis and John F. Kerry in their campaigns.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Anybody can run as a “Republican”. Romney is not a Republican. He’s a “Republican” on paper.

[cotton1706]

I remember Rockefeller (not personally. I’m only 47. But historically).

Yes he was a liberal Republican. The polar opposite of Goldwater and Reagan. And idiot Ford made him vice president.

....and don’t forget the front page (NY Daily News?) picture of Nelson’s body on the stretcher with his shoes on the wrong feet. THAT’S something that has disappeared in a very Stalinesque manner.

Already a multi- millione he enters

govt. He figures he can be a influencer

as a moneybags. He brings in or

has contacts with unsavoury individuals

who are lobbyists, etc..and to network on their

own personal agendas in filling their personals &-to influence our

gov in a way that it not for the benefit

of the US

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Don’t forget that pierre delecto’s Bain Capital got it’s seed money from soroz.

Plus his boy cofer black was also on the burisma BOD with humper & Kerry’s boy

[Lurkinanloomin]

He was the next Designated Loser after McCain, who also lost on purpose.

[Auntie Dem]

That’s NOT photoshopped!

[Roccus]

Picking Rockefeller for VP kept him (Rocky) from taking pot shots at Ford from the sidelines. Remember, the GOP was a hot mess after Watergate. What with Nixon’s abdication, the way the war in VN was concluded and the recession, Ford had enough on his plate.

Perhaps the fact that I’ve got thirty years on you allows me a different perspective.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Expose his corruption and force him to resign. He’s corrupt to the core and his dirt has to be everywhere including Ukraine.

[Pollard]

Not as descriptive as Bush League Republicans, but it still gets the message across.

Guess they figured you had that one copyrighted.

[lewislynn]

for some reason the GOP decided he was the man to take the presidency by storm.

The reason was Romneycare. Later to become Obamacare the law of the land.

The Republicans wanted their name on it.

[Shady]

As well it should be.
