Kudos to Romney

Yes, Romney. After all, he was my governor and laid the groundwork for Obamacare. Okay, other than that he sucked, and thank God he lost to Obama. But, kudos to him for this:

Romney, who blasted Trump in a speech earlier this month, further criticized the Republican frontrunner.

Mitt Romney: “Today, there is a contest between Trumpism and Republicanism. Through the calculated statements of its leader, Trumpism has become associated with racism, misogyny, bigotry, xenophobia, vulgarity and, most recently, threats and violence,” he wrote. “I am repulsed by each and every one of these.”

They just want to raise their kids and be left alone. They won't sign up for the chaos... Clinton looks like a safe option.

He and the so-called "reasonable" Republicans created the soul-sucking vacuum of vapidity in their party that allowed Trump to crawl out and make his presence known, like the demon in the Satan Pit;




Trump says out loud what they all say behind closed doors. THAT is why some Republicans call him out now; embarrassment, not disagreement.

His policies promote the same things with a more kind presentation.

... but will do what I can to challenge the unfair arguments against Hillary.

At any rate, like I said, Romney was my governor, so I know how much sucked, and my comments "praising him" I thought were quite obviously tongue in cheek.

But, interesting that you post an image of Dali. He was probably as right wing as Romney. Figures a Sanders supporter would admire Dali
