Paul Krugman calls out Romney supporters



Can we get retractions from all the people who praised Romney's character and said he would have been a good president?

Manu Raju

@mkraju
Romney won’t say if he thinks declaring national emergency is a good idea. “I think the right course is to consider common ground between the two parties. But the president indicated he’s considering that option.” And he walked into Senate GOP lunch

Made a fortune taking over companies, bleeding them dry and discarding the remains.

What he did to Kaybee Toys was criminal.

His character is all about greed and power.

exactly what Romney & Bain Capital did to countless companies, only legally. What Romney did is even more shameful because he draped it a veneer of nobility that is utterly revolting. There's not ONE bit of difference between the two. None.

but are actually carefully crafted language.

This is a criticism of Trump. R-Money does not think declaring a National Emergency is a good idea.

Beyond that, fuck him.

come right out and said NO WALL? I don't think so.

Has ANY repuke come right out and said

there's no use bargaining for something so stupid and based on lies?

I think not.

Even the so-called "moderates" (Murkowski, Collins, Portman, and a few others) think a deal can be made.

They just don't get it! None of them do!

11. Somebody tried to ask a Republican about Trump's antics?

Of course, they didn't try so hard as to actually get an on-the-record response, but at least someone sort of, kind of, asked the question. I guess that's enough for today.

What does he mean? Where is the common ground between the Constitution and an extortionist traitor?

Go talk to Mitch McConnell, who is derelict in his duty, Rmoney.
