And, to be clear, most of them were also awful in their own ways. They were mostly about self-enrichment rather than installing a new world order.

But at least self-enrichment required that the US continue to remain solvent. The current group of loonies is trying to dismantle the entire country.

This is why I longed for Romney after Trump was elected the first time. I don't agree with basically any of his politics, and I'm also ex-Mormon and inherently question his morals and motives, but I at least believed that he was doing and would continue to do what he thought was good for the US, even if I vehemently disagreed with that that actually was.

Can't really say that for anyone in charge right now, and that's what's scary and dangerous. It's like seeing a careless kid playing with a lighter vs. a known arsonist walking around town with a blowtorch and several jugs of gasoline.

Eeww Rommney was a venture capitalist parasite. Couldn’t vote for him.

I wouldn't and I never did, but still I think he would have been exponentially better as a president than what we got.

Better than trump yes. I was thinking you meant better than obama.

Oh hell no, what I meant was I was nostalgic for a time when the shitty alternative at least wasn't hellbent on destroying the country.
