Romney has been a pile of shit since his days at Bain Capital. Guy is a true scumbag and after his failure to uphold his oath to the US Constitution he is most certainly a traitor as well.

Trump was an amazingly effective choice by the elites to destroy the right. Even now, after all the bullshit he's pulled, there are people who literally still support him!

This in no way supports Romney.

Where's the part where the Right is destroyed?

I guess what I'm asking is whether you believed the GOP was ever a rightwing party.

Ever? Possibly, but I haven't looked that far back. They've been sellouts to business and 'other' interests for as long as I remember.

I think the further back you go, the less rightwing it gets. At the beginning, it was a party run in the interest of northern banking interests.

    Republicans won some, lost some. The Right wasn't really on the ballot.

    Mitt Romney, if you'll recall, hates dogs and he delights in their torture.

    Mitt Romney is a self serving politician looking only after his own interests. He is a poster boy of what is wrong with politics in the US today.

    A good Latter Day Saint should oppose a casino owner who has been divorced twice, commits charity fraud and advocates grabbing women's private parts.
