The senator said he has “a hard time understanding” why Trump’s legal issues don’t “seem to be moving the needle” with more voters.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called out the majority of Iowa Republican caucus voters who baselessly believe that President Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election legitimately.

“I think a lot of people in this country are out of touch with reality and will accept anything Donald Trump tells them,” Romney, who announced in September that he is not seeking reelection, told CNN journalist Manu Raju on Wednesday.

About 65% of Iowa caucusgoers said they believe former President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him, according to entrance poll data.

        2 years prior to being elected.

        And that simply doesn’t mean she’s in touch. She may have started that way, but once lobbyists and their ilk dig their claws in, they quickly forget the reasons they were there in the first place. Now, I don’t know her specifically and the first article I read made her out to be a seemingly level headed person, but look at her voting record. That will tell the true story. But this is part of the problem we have with Congress. “Yeah Congress is doing terrible right now but ‘my guy’ is doing fine, it’s everyone else who’s trash”. yeah, when everyone thinks this way, nothing ever changes. Congress should have term limits. Congress is like a diaper. Should be changed often and for the same reason.

            where’s the lie? it was prior to her being elected, and i admitted to not knowing much about her personally, did a modicum of research, then commented about how once in office, the power corrupts.

              You moved the goalposts from being in touch to being in connection with lobbyists
