    The guy is a co-founder of Bain Capital, how do you come to the conclusion that this guy isn’t willing to do literally anything for a dump truck full of money?

    Fucking libs being like “Well I don’t agree with anything he ever said or did but by jingo I respect him as a person”.

    Chapo’s whole “name your enemies” thing was very important for my development in to the burning cinder of hatred I am today.

    Someone was telling me how great John McCain was bc he dissed trump and I’m just like my brother in christ he set children on fire from the safety of the sky idgaf that he was mean to the real estate buffoon.

      “Well I don’t agree with anything he ever said or did but by jingo I respect him as a person”

      Reminds me of Marx’s 6th thesis on Feuerbach: “the essence of man is no abstraction inherent in each single individual. In reality, it is the ensemble of the social relations.” Actions and beliefs are secondary and only incidentally attributed to individuals who, in themselves, can be good or bad even if the entirety of their existence negates it.

    You can be one of the most powerful Republicans in the country and all you have to do to get a lib’s approval is say ‘trump bad’. Is this intellectual dishonesty or just intellectual non-existence?

      This is the logical conclusion of only ever participating in politics within the extremely narrow range of contradictory positions that the public is offered.

    Liberal dems are an inch away from liberal republicans. Trump not following the usual kayfabe is their problem with him.

      Liberals were happy enough to get their hate-on against George Bush and Dick Cheney when they were in office. Its only after leaving office that they got hagiographies and a proper white-washing. That’s instrumental in the “We may be facing the last election of our lives! Vote like your lives depend on it!” electoralist hysteria.

      You need to purge people’s brains of the transient follies of the last administration in order to convince them that this time is the MOST IMPORTANT moment of their lives. We aren’t living in an era of decline. We’re always at a tipping point and only you can help please send $15.

      That’s what a lot of them are, Republicans who got alienated from the GOP due to the neocons implosion and the religious right’s fanaticism and went to the Dems.

    Mitt Romney cared about the average American

    No, he didn’t. He said 47% of Americans are basically worthless.

    I’m also not saying he didn’t attempt to make himself and those around him stupid rich, but that he wasn’t going to do so by throwing everyone and everything out the window to obtain it

    Attempt? He did do that, and you don’t realize you don’t become that rich by not being a horrible person because you’re a lib.

    You can say whatever you want about him, but one thing I’m fairly certain is that at the end of the day Mitt Romney had binders full of women.

      During the 650-mile (1,050 km) trip, Seamus got diarrhea. The Romneys were first alerted to the Irish Setter’s bowel issues when Tagg noticed brown liquid pouring down the back window, followed immediately by him and his younger brothers yelling in disgust. Romney stopped at a gas station to wash the dog, the carrier, and the car. With Seamus back in the carrier, the family continued on their way.

    I don’t know what policies he supported or what his past is or who he is as a person. I just know he has a square head and a neat haircut and wears a suit and speaks a certain way. That’s what I respect about him. We need more people like that in office. They are noble opponents.

      He’s a Mormon or something and frankly to respect separation of church and state I think he can either be a Mormon or be a Deacon of the American civil religion
