2 theories on Romney

[OhioBlue]

It is easy to think he is just being a sleazy opportunist, typical politician. I mean really, look at how his policies changed from being Gov of Mass to Repub nominee.

My gut is to write him off and be pissed at him.

But, I keep getting this nagging voice.... what if....

option 1 - He is really a patriot, and believes that Trump's foreign policy knowledge is shit. That he is dangerous and Romney is swallowing his pride thinking he may be a buffer against disaster.

option 2 - Pence is stacking the cabinet in the event he feels he needs to invoke article 4 of the 25th.

1. I particularly like #2,

and I think #1 is probably correct too.

3. Yeah, I'm not excited about a President Pence

but I think our Country needs a fail-safe from the grifting, know-nothing, shoot from the hip egomaniac that is Peotus.

4. Pence would preserve the institutions and our

position in the world, regardless of his religious beliefs. Donnie may owe too much to Russia/China.

6. I agree, I think we could suffer/survive 4 years of a conservative

POTUS with someone like Pence but Trump is way too dangerous. Plus, the takeover/chaos would help us in the mid-terms and hopefully at the State level for 2020 apportionment.

2. 2 might the the one thing that saves the nation and world.

5. I think closer

to the second one, definitely w/ opportunistic streak -- but not b/c trump is seen as the opportunity.

I think Pence, Ryan, Priebus, and Romney are getting whatever appointment or agreement (fir support on bills, e.g.) they can for their own political sakes. I think they figure they can influence and manipulate trump to do what they want. Then, if that fails, they will blackmail him directly or indirectly, because they already know trump has committed crimes and that he is about to commit more once he takes office. If that doesn't work for ryan, priebus, romney, pence, then they will either participate in impeachment or "allow" Dems to pursue it (and conveniently without putting up a fight).

Regardless, Romney, Ryan, Priebus, Pence and any of their cronies are about to be in charge if they get their way.

7. I agree with you.

9. 1, Its not DPutins tweets its his willingness to work outside of getting a bunch of attention ...

... he's another proud of not knowing shit cause I'm not interested kinda person.

Its Pence in control no doubt, DPutin fucks with any of that he's gone

10. So We Should Cheer

a Romney sellout because at least one sane person will be onboard. I dunno. Maybe.
