"But not Biden so probably Trump but I will have my fingers crossed when I be a hypocrite and Jebus will forgive me." - Rich white guy
Every once in a while, Romney will stand up and do the bare minimum.
swoons in Mormon
True but it’s almost always too late to matter though..
Yeah…. His usual ethical-adjacent stance. He won’t support the awful but the moderately better are just fine. The pinnacle of GOP integrity is still pathetic.
I don't know. Is DeSantis moderately better?
Lol moderately? He's basically the villian in It Can't Happen Here
Sounds vaguely like an ethical stance, except DeSantis is still ok for him.
It's implied. Sounds tacky to list 3 people in that statement
Is ramaswamy actually out polling desantis? If not it's definitely implying he would support desantis
He flat out says;
"the others that are running are acceptable to me and I'd be happy to vote for them,"
Could be that if he mentions all three, it’s implied he’d choose Nicki Haley and that would just set him up for binders full of women jokes.
Nikki Haley isn't flat out awful but that's not really an endorsement
It's genuinely surprising how low the bar is for a Republican to be considered ethical - refusing to vote in the guy who literally tried to pull a coup on your country shouldn't even be an ethical stance, it should be the stance of literally everyone
But... But... Trans people
Seriously tho G W Bush ran on Gays are getting married oh no! And rode that to state and local wins even before 9/11 happened
Who the fuck is Ramaswany
He is an anything goes martial artist that, due to the curse of the drowned maiden, transforms into a teenage girl when exposed to cold water.
Never seen the show, but is this a Ranma reference?
Not who you replied to, but im just gonna say yes.
“Yes.”
The most annoying guy at the Republican debates that no one is watching. He’s 5% in the GOP polls and is basically the adult version of the insufferable kid that got way too into high school debate team.
Sen. Mitt Romney Says He Would Vote For 'Virtually' Anybody Other Than Trump or Ramaswamy
Remember, politicians are often masters at parsing their words; there's a big difference between "would" and "will".
Edit: Also remember Romney was a chronic flip-flopper; don't expect that to change.
Then vote Biden?
Can't get over the fact that the malarkey guy is still the least bad option and neither can Bo Burnham
The arc of Mitt Romney's universe is long and flexes back and forth, but it bends towards sanity
But he would vote for DeSatan?
Well he's neither Trump or Ramaswamy, so yeah, possibly.
Then just say it. Your party is a shell of itself.
As if it wasn't purposefully working toward this for ages. This is its culmination.
You and me both buddy, now do everything you can to convince the fleeting numbers of sane folks in your party to do the same.
‘Virtually’? Who’s worse in his opinion?
I imagine Biden is top of that list for Romney
Mitt looks like the villain in an 80s comedy movie and feels like a guy who says what people tell him to say.
IMHO this is just telling people the Mormon church doesn't support those guys.
he could have arlen specter'd this bitch but instead he just up and quit to go on cable news shows and talk about how great he is.
"Virtually* as in not literally because he will actually vote for any religious fascist bullshit for real...
Which religious fascist are you talking about?
I don't really give a shit.
