The senator said he has “a hard time understanding” why Trump’s legal issues don’t “seem to be moving the needle” with more voters.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called out the majority of Iowa Republican caucus voters who baselessly believe that President Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election legitimately.
“I think a lot of people in this country are out of touch with reality and will accept anything Donald Trump tells them,” Romney, who announced in September that he is not seeking reelection, told CNN journalist Manu Raju on Wednesday.
About 65% of Iowa caucusgoers said they believe former President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him, according to entrance poll data.
I agree. Anyone that was a republican before Jan 6 and hasn’t changed their party affiliation is firmly in the “I’m ok with an orange faced dictator” boat.
The filter applies starting with Watergate, when Ford pardoned Nixon to be precise. Prior to that was the last time you can say the Republican party had any good in it.
I’d argue a lot of them are perfectly aware of how shitty they are, they just enjoy being shitty people.
I disagree. For example, a billionaire knows that Democrats want to raise his taxes and decrease his wealth. So it’s pragmatic for him to vote for Republicans, despite having so much money it ceases being a unit of exchange and becomes just a scoreboard.
This would make sense if Democrats actually raised taxes significantly on the wealthy.
Democrats threaten to do it, Republicans absolutely won’t. Rationally GOP is the safer bet.
edit: “Rationally” from a billionaire’s point of view, not from a social or moral one.
Whereas an empathetic billionaire (they don’t actually exist) would recognize that they have enough money to pay for the entire lives of all of their descendants and actually interact with the Worker Class.
