  • Seems very presidential.

    • This changes nothing.

      Write in Mitt!!!
      Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      • Trump's impassioned disapproval is pretty much the best endorsement someone could ever ask for.

          Putting aside the facts that Coppins, not Romney, wrote the book, and that Trump pretty clearly hasn't read a book in decades, if ever (other than perhaps, The Art of the Deal), Trump continues his stranglehold on the title, Biggest Asshole in Politics Today. His review impelled me just now to order the book.
          chances trump read the book (or reads any books for that matter): 0%

          • RINO was always a stupid insult as it denotes there should be purity tests to belong to a freaking political party. But Trump has rendered the term RINO completely meaningless. I don't even know if Trump and Gaetz have guiding political principles beyond raw self-serving ambition, but they certainly aren't conservatives in the Reagan/WF Buckley mold.

            • John Curtis has officially filed his candidacy for Mitt's senate seat. That surprises me a bit because he was reluctant to do so. He just built a big nice house down the street from us and has indicated he is looking forward to a quieter life. But I am very happy to see this as I think he is far better than any of the other candidates that have filed so far.

                What's his background?

                  He was the mayor of Provo and then ran successfully for a seat in congress. He has been a pretty good congressman. Moderate enough that the hard-core MAGA people don't like him. Getting through the primary will be the challenge. He circumvented the convention process using the petition method, which I am sure he will need to do again. Stupid utah republicans.

                  • Curtis is a good candidate. Cousin Brent would be good as well. He's a level-headed moderate conservative.

                      He is mid. We could do a lot worse. We probably will do worse.

                      • Eff Maga. All day. Stupid Republicans got mad that Green Day changed 'redneck agenda' to 'maga agenda.' As though 1. Green Day wasn't always talking about you and 2. they narrowed it even further to a specific brand of moron and that's what did it?

                            Some unkind things were highlighted but let's not act like it was a one way street. Obama wasn't born here according to a lot of Republicans.

                            One Romney tidbit that I think spoke to his character was when some wealthy NH summer vacation town had an official who called Michelle Obama, the N word. Romney lent his name and effort into getting the bigot removed. That would never happen today. Instead the right wing social media sphere likes to say Michelle is transgender.

                            Romney has right about Russia. To a degree is understand the dems trying to reset the relationship with Russia because Putin was temporarily out and Medvedev to provide a softer opening. The democrats were fools to trust the sustainability of the detente.

                            Obama was also weak on Russia going forward. He let them do whatever they wanted on Syria. He sought permission from congress to respond to war crimes and the brave isolationists voted him down.

                            He also should have gone public with concerns about Russian infowarfare targeting our elections even if Mitch McConnell didn't want him to.

                            So Obama's and W's complacency on Russia set the stage for them to put in their loyalist in the White House.

                            McCain and Romney had the right idea.

                              Typical Democrats. And this was before Trump so it really was just democrats being democrats.
                              "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
