(57,073 posts)He is hoping for the repuke nod for 2020.
I wonder if he drank bleach after he walked amongst the perceived 47%ers.

(31,112 posts)Some of us are better than others, he is way down the list for sure, but what other active GOP politicians are doing this?
Any?

(2,008 posts)Someone who at least attempts to not appear racist is better than what we've got now.
Part of Trump's disgusting "appeal" to his deplorable followers is the brazenness of his awfulness. And that gives them permission to be what we've seen from them the past couple weeks.

(13,043 posts)his Mormon prophecy. At any rate he would be a better POTUS, albeit a GOP one.
BTW, i saw a family picture of his with his black adopted grandchild. I do think Romney is a decent man, though i question many of his votes.

(12,504 posts)I have watched him on video take both sides of an issue everytime, depending on that days audience. As my governor for 4 years, he spent the last 2.5 years of his term traveling around the country campaigning for president by bashing liberals and the state he supposedly governed. It was pathetic.
When he left office, he and his staff took EVERY computer hard drive in every office building they occupied. The state of Massachusetts has no (ZERO) digital record of his entire 4 year term as governor.
Be careful, he is a slithering snake that does not care about 99.9% of the country.

Blacks just werent spiritually ready to have the priesthood until 1978.
This one hit the news as recently as 2012, when a BYU professor was quoted in the Washington Post as claiming that the ban was actually to the benefit of blacks, because they were not prepared for the responsibility until then. He compared the situation to a child asking for car keys before being mature enough to use them. That same month, the LDS Church issued a statement that disavowed this professors reasoning. (Some explanations with respect to this matter were made in the absence of direct revelation and references to these explanations are sometimes cited in publications. These previous personal statements do not represent Church doctrine.) But that same statement also leaned heavily upon Reason #4, which was . . .
