SO, if you had a choice of Pence or Romney or Liz for prez, say, how would you vote? Yes I know it's a silly question. But these 3 represent 3 bits of the GOP remnant.

That's a hard choice. Definitely not Pence. I respect Liz for what she is doing on the committee. She's the ballsiest of the bunch, but too conservative for me. Romney is your typical country club Republican, the most centrist of the three. If these were the only choices and you held a gun to my head I'd pick Mitt.
Reasoned choice and I wouldn't fear a coup but he's too oily now. I'd have voted for him 20 years ago. I think I'd hold my nose and vote for courage of her convictions and know the constitution would be safe. But I'd think hard on mitt v. an AOC. Pence loses on every front with me. If we ever get to choose again, I'll go for honor even over competence. Who can we trust to maintain norms. It is a hard choice. I do think we must not vote our heart but our head.
No fair! I call shenanigans. You said it was a choice between Mike, Mitt, and Liz. You can't be throwing AOC into the mix.
I'd stick with Mitt over Liz because she's too conservative for my taste. She's smart and would likely be more effective than Mitt in pushing her agenda. Plus she's too much like her dad, and I effing hated him. It blew my mind that he shot some guy in the face and that guy apologized to Dick for the trouble he (the gunshot victim) caused him and his family. Wow. That's a real demonstration of influence and power.
Re: Mitt vs. AOC... That's a hard one, as you said. I liked some of the Green New Deal, but she has been a real disappointment. The problem with these people in safe seats is that they forget the fact that, if you want to change things, there is a whole other world there that you have to convince.
Re: heart vs. head... Without a doubt. We need candidates that are smart, pragmatic, and strategic.
Lol. Granted. I do not care for the cheneys! I do like your reasoning re Mitt. Agree about candidates. Dems are so often a disappointment. Power corrupts. So easily. And Dems don't groom young candidates to take over. Maybe the world just needs a reset. Sadly I don't think we'll like what we get.

Well said. Appreciate your thinking. Me too... and me neither.
