Romney is a spineless, gutless, pathetic coward. In this moment, his cult like devotion to “Democrats are always worse” is shameful and I call it traitorous. I have moved from being as middle of the road independent as they come, looking for reasonable common sense solutions always, to someone who will NEVER vote for a Republican again for the rest of my 71 year old life. Why??? BECAUSE of Trump and Romney’s party worshipping at the MAGA altar, and spewing lie after lie day after day with no moral compunction whatsoever, and calling evil, good and wrong, right.

Listen to Liz Cheney’s speech the other day and really every day since January 6. If a crucial mass of R’s had followed her, we would not be in this mess.

I am SICK of Romney, Pence, George W, and all the rest of these cowards who think they can finesse this, and protect for themselves—what? Not getting yelled at or shunned at the country club or the boardroom or the Federalist Society meeting?????? Or thinking they will be the “revered elder statesman” of a party that whose leader is DJT, or Don, Jr., or who knows what other perverse or evil human?

Liz has it right. Look to history!!!!! Show some moral courage. Where were you when the evil came? Pretending and pontificating? It IS our “time of testing.” Will we “meet the moment?” Not Romney or his pathetic type. When Trump is gone, these pitiful men—and women—but especially the men like Romney, Pence and Bush, will be judged harshly by history. And do not get me started on McConnell, Graham and the rest. I am convinced they all will be weighed in the scales of history and found wanting . “Their dishonor will remain!!”

Sorry to be so angry, but this column set me off. These “leaders” disgust me. Anyone with half a brain can see the existential danger of Trump 2024. Shame on them.

From Trump we have been reminded that trickle down economics doesn’t work but discovered that trickle down corruption does work very well.
