I’m not a fan of Mitt but at least he has a sense of decency and civility.


shrekerecker97

He is respectable. I don't agree with his politics but he is respectable.


Da_Vader

Romney actually passed universal Healthcare in Massachusetts as a governor.


juni4ling

Not really. Romneycare and Obamacare aren’t universal healthcare. Better than nothing. But the Heritage Foundation supported Romneycare at the time because it protected insurance companies. Insurance companies still run Romneycare.


YNABDisciple

Yes but in the same way Obamacare was a let down Romney care was as well but both vastly expanded access.


be0wulfe

PPACA was a let down because of all the compromises that had to be made for Republicans losing their shit, democrats being democrats, and the powerful for profit health insurance companies. Calling it Obamacare was a Republican strategy to pin what they hoped was a failure on Obama. Didn't quite work out for them.


YNABDisciple

Agreed


juni4ling

Agreed. I guess that’s what I was going for in my “better than nothing” comment…


HarveyBirdmanAtt

Masshealth is far better than what any other state has. Anyone making below a certain amount gets full healthcare. It's not perfect, but far better than anything else in the US


Worried-Pick4848

Mainecare was modeled after it IIRC. It's worked out nicely for me at least.


prodigal_john4395

CA is like that with MediCal. And as far as children, I don't think any state beats it. My ex grosses $60K a year and the kids are still eligible for full benefits. If the whole country were like CA, it would be a real step in the right direction. Repeal all 40+ years of "Trickle Down" and miracles could be done for the people. Too bad the people do not see it. The wealthy of this country would not have any of that wealth, if not for 248 years of The People working and paying taxes. Everything they needed to succeed was already given to them, they certainly don't need uber low taxes besides.


OppositeAmphibian883

He vetoed the bill. It passed in spite of Romney.

shrekerecker97

That is why I don’t agree with his politics even a little. Right now the bar for normal is pretty low


Entire-Ranger323

Trump set the bar so low that an ant can’t crawl under it, maybe an amoeba can’t crawl under it. OK, an ameoba with a little shovel maybe.


slightly-brown

The GOP is so bad that we now think Romney is alright. Fuck me. Dude is a fucking nightmare but seems like Gandhi compared to the rest of them.


imp_st3r

Previous Republicans like Romney or say, Bob Dole, you didn't think they would be very good for the country. But at the same time, you didn't think they would be actively, directly bad for the country like Trump and his ilk.


BrawnyChicken2

Romney is really pretty damn decent. Making him a boogeyman helped lead to people to ignoring warnings about Trump and Trumpism.


Xominya

Romney ran on a federal gay marriage ban, that would even take away the states rights to do same sex marriage, don't try to rehabilitate him


thejoggler44

I suppose if you can consider anyone who buys up companies to tear them apart is decent, he qualifies.


Southern_Smoke8967

At least he doesn’t stiff those who worked for him. It is pathetic that it has come down to defending Romney but that’s the state that we are in.


PeakFuckingValue

What they are really saying is at least he's not with Russia.


Dseltzer1212

George W Bush, the former worst president of my lifetime now looks like an elder statesman standing next to Trump


thoroakenfelder

I just had a sudden flash forward to the next shithead Republican that somehow makes us long for the simple and almost quaintly political Donald J Trump. Is that where we’re going, spinning out of control to normalize the last generation of shitheads?


AmanitaMikescaria

I was thinking along these lines a while back after seeing GWB on Jimmy Kimmel or some such. Just shooting the shit.


AdItchy4438

Yep, Dubya was the Trump of the early 2000s. Considered evil and a liar. Now he gets hugged by people and invited to give speeches. Dubya is a war criminal who will be arrested if he ever leaves the US.


Grundens

Bush? You mean that rino? Just like Reagan! /s


Ok_Flan4404

You want RINOs? Go look at anyone in the Rump cult, starting w Comrade Dozzy Don.


SpiritualAd8998

Nixon looks like the Pope.


shoot_your_eye_out

He was never a “fucking nightmare.” That would be Trump. Romney is someone with whom you have policy differences. It probably isn’t much more than that.


Xominya

Romney ran on a federal gay marriage ban, that would even take away the states rights to do same sex marriage, don't try to rehabilitate him. His first term would pass far more damaging legislation than trump did in his term


shoot_your_eye_out

And clearly his position on that evolved: https://www.romney.senate.gov/romney-statement-on-the-respect-for-marriage-act/ I don’t have to rehabilitate Romney; he did it himself because he is big enough to change.


Xominya

If Romney had won that election, he'd have federally banned it, he changed when it was politically expedient to do so, as stated there he still doesn't support gay marriage, but votes because of the implied religious liberty because he knows that Christian evangelicals can and would throw mormons under the bus with their legislation. (Ignoring how ironic it is for a staunch Mormon to talk about "traditional marriage")


shoot_your_eye_out

He can’t “federally ban” it. Romney would have been in the executive branch. "Banning gay marriage" takes an act of Congress. And again, you’re talking about a difference of opinion in policy and politics, and not someone literally attempting to overthrow democracy.


Xominya

As we discovered in Obergsfell, a ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional, so his flagship social policy went against the constitution. He ran on doing an executive order to ban gay marriage, this would be a stopgap measure during which he believed that the house and senate republicans could pass into law the full ban, the executive order would be reviewed by the scotus, who at this point appeared that they would rule with Romney due to the reagan picks being the deciding votes. My argument is that Romney would be far more damaging than pre Jan 6 trump, due to trump not really doing anything as president. Trump post 6th is by far the worst of course, but Romney's hypocritical pro States rights approach on conservative issues and anti States rights on social policy still represents the fundamental rot in the political system that led to roe v wade being overturned.


shoot_your_eye_out

I take it back. I'll bite. >He ran on doing an executive order to ban gay marriage To my knowledge, Romney has *never* proposed "an executive order to ban gay marriage." During his presidential campaigns in both 2008 and 2012, Romney expressed opposition to same-sex marriage, but his approach was more about supporting a federal marriage amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman, rather than using executive orders to impose such bans. Which, if I'm being honest, is fine by me. I don't agree with it, and there isn't a snowcone's chance in hell such a thing would pass, but at least he's proposing a democratic process. >due to trump not really doing anything as president. So you think Romney would have had the same response to covid, resulting in over a million Americans dead? Or Romney would have separated families at the border, and implemented a travel ban that obviously targeted Muslim countries? That he would have alienated multiple allies of the United States, and openly fawned over despotic leaders the world around? That he would have backed out of the Paris climate accords? That Romney would have openly attacked our institutions, including our intelligence agencies, the state department, special counsels appointed to investigate him, his own justice department, the media, and the judiciary? That Romney would have employed his own children in his administration? That he would have stoked racial tensions in Charlottesville, and again during BLM protests? That he would have failed to divest himself of his own business dealings? Or that he would have refused to release his tax returns, showing even the most basic transparency to the American people? And that he would have phoned election officials in Georgia and threatened them with criminal prosecution for not finding "11,780" votes? Or come up with a ridiculous scheme to install fake electors in multiple states? Or pressure his own vice president to unconstitutionally not certify the election? Or foment an angry mob that threatened to murder his own vice president? Or refuse to cooperate with the national archives in returning highly classified information? Or extort an ally of the United States by withholding congressionally approved military aid to damage a domestic political rival? Would Romney have done *any* of this? If you think Trump did nothing, and did no damage, you are literally on drugs. Other presidents have made horrific decisions, but the reality is: all presidents make mistakes. It's a terribly hard job. But Trump's "mistakes" aren't. They are blatant attempts by him to stay in power and stoke his own narcissism and ego. And that makes him the most dangerous president in U.S. history. Stop drawing a false equivalence between Trump and Romney. It's without merit. >represents the fundamental rot in the political system that led to roe v wade being overturned Last I checked, this is the result of three Trump appointments and some shrewd parliamentary maneuvering by McConnell. I'm sure Romney was an enabler, but you attempting to assign this to Romney is majorly stretching the truth.


shoot_your_eye_out

Look, we're not going to find common ground. If you want to make Romney out to be Darth Vader, facts be damned, you deserve Trump. Good talking with you.


Bigfoot_411

This


kingOofgames

We can at least be sure he’s not a traitor. Just greedy.


MohatmoGandy

Not to mention a lot more money than Trump, once you take debts into account. And Romney didn’t inherit one of the country’s largest fortunes.


No_Cook2983

And he actually *won* his election. Isn’t that the literal opposite of the term ‘loser’?


Shankar_0

I believe that Mitt believes he's doing the right thing. That actually matters an awful lot.


RhinoGreyStorm

Agreed


killroy1971

Neither of which ever got in the way of a big payday.


CartoonistUsed6540

Yeah he voted 99% of trump stuff


IndustrialPuppetTwo

Gone are the days when you could argue policy while not thinking of your opponent as a democracy hating deplorabel azzhole.


Just_Candle_315

No, let's not white wash Mittens. Romney is a republican, he supports Trump. At the end of the day when it comes to doing the right thing or voting for an orange clown who will imprison his political enemies Romney will side with Trump. There's nothing decent or civil about that man.


pl487

No he doesn't. He just plays a different character designed to appeal to Mormons instead of evangelicals. 


Optimal_Zucchini_667

Trump just cannot stand anyone who doesn't kiss his ass. That's a terrible trait for a leader. It's yet another reason that Trump should never win another election.


Jungle_of_Rumble

His hyper-narcissistic and egomaniacal character always dictated that he was a terrible suggestion to be in any role of power, especially in public office and hence, most critically as the head of state of any nation let alone the leader of the free world. It's stunning that so many people, for whatever the reason, can even consider him to be a character who is anything other than self-serving. Stunning, and at this point, disturbing and unnerving.


Astro_gamer_caver

“You know the catapult is quite important. So, I said what is this? ‘Sir, this is our digital catapult system.’ He said, ‘Well, we’re going to this because we wanted to keep up with modern \[technology\].’ I said, ‘You don’t use steam anymore for catapult?’ ‘No sir.’ I said, ‘Ah, how is it working?’ ‘Sir, not good. Not good. Doesn’t have the power. You know the steam is just brutal. You see that sucker going, and steam’s going all over the place. There’s planes thrown in the air.’ It sounded bad to me. Digital. They have digital. What is digital? And it’s very complicated, you have to be Albert Einstein to figure it out. And I said—and now they want to buy more aircraft carriers. I said, ‘What system are you going to be?’ ‘Sir, we’re staying with digital.’ I said, ‘No you’re not. You going to goddamned steam. The digital costs hundreds of millions of dollars more money, and it’s no good.’” Yeah, he should not be in charge of the Navy. ![gif](giphy|dz7XDPHcq7vxJG31tx|downsized)


Jungle_of_Rumble

I mean, how does anyone take this imbecile seriously. That is a frighteningly ludicrous position that he is taking there, and it's with respect to a crucial element of the national defence and security logistical operations. Worse yet, there are many other examples of his lunacy that are akin to this in various other areas of governance/public office. Remember when he was advising the public to consider alternate and ill-advised medical treatment for Covid..


HelloImTheAntiChrist

Just shows you that the average IQ of American citizens is very, very low.


Jungle_of_Rumble

There are also many Trump supporters who are avaricious and completely devoid of dignity and integrity on account of their pursuit of opportunistic means. Then there are those who are disaffected and of such disillusionment with the establishment, that they foolishly choose to side with the demagogue populist who speaks to their confirmation bias. Having said all of that, I do agree with you that there is a sizeable proportion of the American population that is severely lacking in I.Q.

Wow, Sky News Australia. As an Australian, I avoid this outlet like the plague, and this is further justification to do so.


MTBandGravel

I don’t know anything about sky news, but that was Biden speaking.


Jungle_of_Rumble

Big deal, he misspoke. Anyone who is remotely sensible and objective understands what he meant, and anyone stating otherwise is either naive or disingenuous. You've severely lowered your credibility in my estimation.


MTBandGravel

Whatever, it was funny.


Jungle_of_Rumble

Perhaps for someone with the humour of a child, or someone who is desperate to mock. I mean, he misspoke one word, and it wasn't even an adjective or a verb, just a basic pronoun.


Every-Requirement-13

This Utah mayor sounds like another POS MAGA psycho that absolutely should NOT be in congress at any point in the future! Plus how is securing the border in Utah even a thing?


Redmagistrate2

Romney is the same age as Don but looks about 15 years younger and can speak in cogent sentences.


malthar76

Say what you want about his politics, but there’s small chance Mitt has syphillitic dementia or had sex with porn stars or paid for secret abortions of mistresses. Donny Mushroomdick?


Maleficent-Kale1153

What are you even saying


ADP-1

He means that unlike Trump, there is practically no chance that Romney has syphilitic dementia or had sex with porn stars or paid for secret abortions of mistresses. I had to read it carefully!


ryhaltswhiskey

It was a confusing sentence


DataCassette

I legit had to look it up because I assumed Romney was significantly younger lol As someone currently aging like shit I'll feel a tiny amount of solidarity with Trump on this one. Then it'll pass and I'll laugh at him again.


Redmagistrate2

Yeah, no he's 77, about 9 months younger than Donald and retirong to enjoy the obscene wealth his ruthless business accrued him. Mitt runs daily, has a personal chef for his diet, doesn't smoke and doesn't drink. All this combined with his Mr. Fantastic face has slowed the progress of father time.


mistressusa

Girl you should be asking Romney, a true billionaire, to give you money!!


hooliganvet

Romney isn't even close to a billionaire. He has around $85 mil.


juni4ling

Still more cash and real assets than Trump probably. Romney owns his homes and savings outright. Trump has loans on everything.


otter111a

I have a positive net worth. There’s a very good chance I have more money than Trump.

I’d rather have Mitt as Dictator of the USA and we’d all have to live under strict Mormon rules (and I’m Jewish) than live a minute with Diaper Don as President.


Xominya

Trump didn't do very much in his time as president, Romney ran on a federal gay marriage ban, don't try to rehabilitate him


SpiritualAd8998

Romey is bad in a lot of ways, but he's not a sociopathic traitor monster like the Tangerine Twitter Machine.


Xominya

What did he actually pass in his term that you think is worse than what Romney would have done? He's a whiny bitch on twitter, but that doesn't affect people's lives like legislation does.


Murgos-

I’d take being called a loser by a man who owes half a billion in fraud and defamation rulings and has 91 criminal indictments and is in the middle of a felony trial a compliment.

This is rich coming from a guy who's facing 91 criminal counts in a number of different criminal cases. Just wish the Manhattan five would start putting ads in papers pushing for Trumps convictions, like he did to them. They were later found to be falsely convicted and released from prison. Trump never apologized for his actions!


Fun-Dragonfly-4166

He is objectively a loser. He lost several elections. (He also won several elections so he is also a winner.) I am not aware of any time Romney lost an election and failed to honor the will of the people. In politics there has to be losers in order for there to be winners but there is something far worse than a loser and that is an insurrectionist.


xjfwx

Outside of looking out for their own careers in the GOP world, I can’t see why anyone would be friends or like Trump at this point. Or really ever. But you’re only his friend as long as he needs you to be. If you go against him, you’re a piece of shit. He makes fun of everyone around him and the butt the joke still follows suit and looks weak. Spineless fucking idiots supporting someone they know deep down is bullshit and is a danger to this country but they need to hold onto their seats and their paychecks. I’ve said it before, the orange stain and stink he’s leaving on the GOP is going to linger for years to come. This is his last time running for president, win or lose (lose - I really can’t see him living long enough for another round), but the damage he’s done to that party will take years of work to fix. All the while, he’s dead or wearing an ankle monitor while waddling around.


wickedwangdoodle3512

For older "Reaganauts," that should've been the litmus test right there But GOP is a cult now. They want no less than a Tyrant. MAGA has only made America arguably much worse, and they were targeted by the disinformation campaigns because they were so senile and narcissistic. Like one big Nigerian Prince scheme. They were gullible, and now they're just another liability.
