I just saw Romney's speech. Two cheers for you, Mitt...

...I think you deserve two of them, this time. This was clearly hard on him. But it was a great moment for what's left of our democracy. But by God...he was the *only* one who did this. The 52 others...I almost said, I have no words for them. But I do. Quislings, fascists, traitors. Welcome to the ignominy history has in store for you. And again: well done, Mr Romney. We're hardly on the same side, but there is a small flame of decency in the GOP this evening...

8. Agreed. He even said in that speech that he supported much of what Trump has done, so yeah.

I do give him credit for the vote, but no, he's not changed.

I get a lot of shit for this, but I have always pretty much felt that way about all Rs. I And now, if you can still choose to belong to a party that supports Trump, with all the evil he's done and will continue to do, and all the greedy, dishonest, hypocritical, harmful things Rs in general do and support, you're a bad person.

I don't care if you're kind to your dear old mother, or you love dogs, or any other damn thing that might make people defend you as a good person. If you are actively an R now, you're not a good person.

4. Well, I now have a third Romney saying in my mind forever...

The first will ALWAYS be "Corporations ARE people my friend."
Never forget.

The second was he infamous "47%" comments...
Never forget.

Forever...
However, for today, I will say thank you Mitt for doing the right thing when literally NO ONE else would...

I still don’t agree with his support of many heartless policies, but I give him credit for honoring his oath of office and doing the right thing.
