43. He is not honorable

If any of this is true:

https://www.alternet.org/2012/08/7-scandals-reveal-real-mitt-romney/

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/greed-and-debt-the-true-story-of-mitt-romney-and-bain-capital-183291/

Alternet is well alternet. I am not sure what the National Memo is but mediabiascheck says they are left leaning and their reporting is mostly factual. Of course mediabiasfactcheck is apparently an amateur website. Maybe Matt Taibi is considered too far to the left. But with those caveats, going by those articles, he is not even honorable.

I don't have the time to check all that but you guys can correct me if I am wrong. I think his so-called honor is probably bs. He is less overtly vulgar than Trump. This guy is as sleazy as most of them are. It isn't about purity. I have little use for purity. I think Romney is actually a particularly evil and dangerous man. I could be wrong. Like I said, I am not an expert on Romney. But my gut feeling (and yes I sound like Bush ) is that he is neither moderate nor honorable. I stand corrected if those articles are wrong or misrepresenting things.

While it is admittedly a leading search, "Bain Capital scandals" brings up lots of links.
