        It’s not surprising at all. He blocked Jesse Ventura from unionizing the WWF back in the 80s, and the Republican party is the home for scabs.

          “In 2008, Crawford endorsed Barack Obama for President of the United States.[63] Despite reports, Crawford denied endorsing Mitt Romney for the 2012 election.[64]”

          Even if she had, Romney is not a bad person. He voted to impeach Trump, did not vote for Trump either time, wants gun control, etc.

            Romney is not a bad person

            (x) Doubt

            As an action figure enthusiast, I’m not a big fan of vulture capital destroying both KayBee and Toys R Us.

            In his 2009 book The Buyout of America: How Private Equity Is Destroying Jobs and Killing the American Economy, Josh Kosman described Bain Capital as “notorious for its failure to plough profits back into its businesses,” being the first large private-equity firm to derive a large fraction of its revenues from corporate dividends and other distributions. The revenue potential of this strategy, which may “starve” a company of capital,[202] was increased by a 1970s court ruling that allowed companies to consider the entire fair market value of the company, instead of only their “hard assets”, in determining how much money was available to pay dividends.[203] In at least some instances, companies acquired by Bain borrowed money in order to increase their dividend payments, ultimately leading to the collapse of what had been financially stable businesses.[62]

              Why does this make him a bad person?

            Romney is a bad person. But he’s just regular Republican bad, not fascist leader of a death cult bad.

              No, I said because he voted against him, and for things like gun control.

            Romney was an actual Republican though, not the garbage we see these days.

              Trump is just the latest development of the conservative takeover plan that started with Reagan, and Lee Atwater’s Southern strategy in the 80s.

              Republicans have been on the wrong side of just about everything since then.

              Heck, even famous conservative asshole Nixon was foresighted enough to sign the EPA into existence in the 70s.

    LOL they were just throwing beers out at the audience from the stage while promoting their beer. Pretty foreseeable. Also barely news.
