Utah Senator Mitt Romney Thread

[Northwestcoug]

Trump doesn’t care a whit about the few conservative ideals he’s espoused. Nor the others that conservatives had supposedly moved away from, like free trade and first amendment issues. He champions his amalgamation of disparate political beliefs for one reason only: to promote his brand.

Nearly all of Trump's work against "conservative ideals" was done in the executive branch without legislative support. So to say that a Senator "voted with Trump x% of the time" isn't really saying anything. The problem is the executive branch has become too powerful.

These are the worst kind of people. And this kind of behavior seen as acceptable by many is the product of 4 years of trump.

I doubt Mitt will fly commercial much going forward.

Just to clarify, this type of behavior has been going on for a couple years on the left. Childish confrontations have been a part of progressive activism for a while. But Trump has made it ok for the right to do this as well.

I bet he will just get noise cancelling headphones. Mitt has many merits, but I can honestly say he really doesn't give a shit about these type of people and never has. As long as he cannot hear them, he'll be fine.

Very true.

Until his personal safety is threatened. These people actually think he is a traitor to his country. Someone, sometime, is going to take it too far.

Yeah the lady in the video claimed that Cox assaulted her the night before. It's not hard to imagine a situation that escalates to the point where a public figure gets hurt.

I don't understand your use of the word "but" here. It seems to suggest conflict between having merits and not caring about these type of people.

Uh, these people are republicans yelling at republicans! I'm no Mitt fanboy like the rest of you, but he deserves some kind of peace prize, yea even Nobel, for dealing rationally with these hillbillies.

These mouth breathers are in my city today. Good thing they thought through their mixtape.

The crowd faced the White House and a stage was flanked by two big "Save America March" signs swayed to the beat of the Village People song "Macho Man" and Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean."

A bunch of conspiracy theorists that believe in pizza joints fronting child molesters, chose a song by a real life child molester. And one by the Village People.

I’m fairly proud of my reply.

Please do your part not to fan the flames. A guy with your family history should know better than most that rhetoric from leaders can have unintended consequences.
