Romney rules out voting for Trump, citing court’s sexual abuse finding in Carroll case

You can always count on Mitt Romney to uphold the bare minimum standards of ethics.
- I hate that I have to say the bare minimum ethics is the gold star standard for republicans right now.
- Have you heard of the All-American prophet? The blonde-haired, blue-eyed voice of God!
- ... Most of the time. Okay, at least some of the time. Which gives him an overwhelming lead against the entire rest of the Republican pack who are aggressively opposed to the concept of ethics in general

It's always amazing where some Republicans draw the line. Overt racism? Bizarre incoherence? Trying to overturn an election with a riot? Spousal assault previously documented in court? Paying off prostitutes with campaign money? Trying to use federal foreign aid money to start a fake smear campaign on an opponent? Calling up state election officials and pressuring them to create a bullshit election investigation? Politicizing public health because you're vain about your weird makeup? Mocking disabled people? Having Russian officials over to the White House and destroying the translator's notes? Saying things about women like "bleeding out of her whatever"? Demonstrating a pattern of fraudulent accounting for decades? No problem. But this ONE thing, that's too much.
- That's how you can tell it's performative and carefully chosen

You can definitely trust a Republican to do what they said they would /s
- I mean if he publicly says he wouldn’t vote for Trump but then actually does, that would be a hell of a lot more beneficial for Biden than saying he supported Trump and then secretly not voting for him.
- Well, only after they've checked out of politics. Romney was republican tumor in the colon of the government that decided to detach and get shit out. If tumors this large are just deciding to fall out, this is beyond stage 4.

- And the whole point of voting is that it's anonymous. We can never know who anyone voted for really.
  Buuut the lack of endorsement is good. if he publicly endorses Biden that may sway some "moderates" who would vote for Trump.

Guys in this thread are expecting too much from a headline and too much from what was probably a casual interview while walking to a meeting.

Seriously, just how deep does the cult programming go that it takes SO MUCH for cons to even SAY that they won't vote for this monster?
And, FFS, why do they have to be so cagey about it? Most of them either say they are going wait and see, etc., or that they'll vote third party. That's not really better. They need to come right out and say it - tiny d is a monster and supporting him is supporting fascism and they are voting Democratic.

That’s the disqualification??? lol. Republicans are just handmaidens for fascism at this point. Democrats are handmaidens for oligarchy. And before anyone jumps in to defend some of Biden’s very good pro labor positions/policies/staff selections; yes, I know. But if the NLRB is dismantled by the SC, all of it will be for nothing.
