    “Anybody. I would be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans, maybe not Vivek [Ramaswamy], but the others that are running would be acceptable to me. I would be happy to vote for them. I would be happy to vote for any of the Democrats too. I mean it would be an upgrade from, in my opinion, Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden,” Romney said.

    The senator added: “I like President Biden. I find him a very charming and engaging person, there’s some places I agree with and most places I disagree with him. I think he made all sorts of terrible mistakes, but I would like to see someone else run.”

    Smart man. If I were a Republican, I’d probably say the same. He seems to see things right down the line. It’s a shame he didn’t manage to make it to become the 45th president; echoing his sentiment it, would have been a far greater alternative.

        Mormons are afaik relatively chill people even if some of their beliefs are a bit whack. I’ve met a few IRL, and that South Park episode fits my understanding of them pretty well. For the most part, I think they follow the actually good parts of the teachings of Christianity rather than going to the fucked up fundamental/GOP version of it.

    That is a man speaking who dislikes Trump personally, but doesn’t have any issues with his policies. Ramaswamy, DeSantis, et al., are very similar to Trump politically, only more polished in personality. Nikki Haley and Chris Christie are probably the most rational of the current crop of Republican primary candidates, and they’re still far from the more centrist Republicans like Bush I or II, or even Richard Milhouse Nixon.

    I don’t think it’s much cause for celebration that Mr. “Corporations are people” wants to vote for your party.

      I don’t it’s much cause for celebration that Republicans continually and repeatedly voted for Mr. “Corporations are people.”
