Romney to Retire, Calling For a ‘New Generation’ Beyond Biden and Trump
Romney to Retire, Calling For a ‘New Generation’ Beyond Biden and Trump
The Utah Republican and 2012 G.O.P. presidential nominee, 76, said he would step aside to make way for younger leaders and strongly suggested that the president and former president should, too.
You're viewing a single thread.
We are entering dark fucking times when Mitt Fucking Romney is becoming the voice of reason in the American political landscape.
This is the problem. The moderate Republicans that didn't support Trump are looking at retirement. They are marginalized in their party. The replacements likely will be further right.
The country did far better when you have moderate and capable leadership on both sides.
What we've had for over 40 years is a moderately right wing party (the Democratic Party) and then the Republican Party, which even under the guise of "moderates" like Romney want some pretty extreme things.
It's a false equivalence. Trump isn't unfit just because he's old.
Edit: reading comprehension, folks
No, he's unfit because he's a traitor
I think that's what neptune was implying.
It's also not about unfit. Being old means you don't have to care what happens to future generations- you'll be dead by then and you can leave a wealthy inheritance for your brats to squander after you're gone. Making decisions that you'll never have to face the consequences of.
Sure but the point is it lessens the awful crimes of Trump by saying "they both suck".
It lessens the awful crimes of the Democrats if we pretend that anyone who isn't Trump's level of bad is good by default
Yep. Agree 100%
