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.
I never thought I would unsarcastically say “Oh no! Mitt Romney is retiring!” But here I am, saying just that. Even though he is Mormon and has some shitty politics he is one of the few remaining Republicans left that understands the importance of Bipartisan legislation and voting to help the people instead of voting against everything to “own the libs.” It probably helps that he while he is a Republican, a lot of his policies while he was governor of Ma, and even now are more Center right, and almost Center left, making it seem like he is largely GOP because he’s LDS and would really fit better as an Independent.*
No major disagreement here – just making a factual adjustment. Romney served as a Republican governor of Massachusetts long before moving to Utah. According to Wikipedia, he was never affiliated with the Democrat party.
Wtf I’m having a Mandala effect moment because I vividly remember when he was running in 2008 and 2012 he came under fire by some conservatives because he was a Democrat when he was in Ma. Wild.
What was amusing to watch when the anti-ACA sentiment hit Peak Stupid (I hope) was that many cons were simultaneously hating on Romney, but also gaslighting about how ACA was “not really” essentially RomneyCare. I’d ask them why they were hating so much on Romney, then, if ACA was “not really” RomneyCare.
Well, you can imagine the usual derangement I’d get as a response.

He brought in essentially Obamacare before it was Obamacare so people treated him like the devil…
