That was the front page of the Opinion section of the Sunday Globe.

I'm no fan of Trump, but in their anti-Trump hysteria, the describe Romney -- a vulture capitalist who has destroyed jobs, companies, lives and communities, and who thinks that 47 percent of Americans are scum -- as a "decent and honorable man" and suggest he should get the nomination.
You have to remember that the Globe is now owned by shameless corporatist billionaires.

(12,754 posts)4. Nobody who reads the Globe was going to vote for Trump anyway
The purpose of this was to pave the way for the elite Republicans to back Romney or Ryan -- both just as scary as Trump, if not scarier.
