@James Dowds Do you have sources for your claims about Reagan? Also, isn't it possible that if what you say is true, maybe you're inferring something from what Reagan said that he didn't mean at all?
he was absolutely an evil demon who liquefied companies and fired 1000s of workers with no compensation while he ran out the back with all the profits they worked so hard to get that company. ya'll are so desperate to rehabilitate any demon who's a few years gone. in a few year's you'll be saying shit like this about Trump
I'd prefer Romney was President. He's very Conservative and he's a decent man. Kinda quirky too. If Mitt Romney were POTUS he'd bore us to death and truly keep the country together. I wouldn't agree with his policies especially on abortion, healthcare and gun Reform but at least I know he loves the United States and can't be bought. I'm a Liberal. I just want decency back. Obviously the policies I don't agree with i.e. separating families, kids in cages, Muslim Travel Ban, discrimination against Transgenders in the military, deregulation, corporate & wealthy tax cut, murdering Jeffrey Epstein (AG Barr organized it), unauthorized killing of Soleimani, bribing Ukraine. Trump needs to go. I prefer another Republican president, anyone but Trump! I'd take Bernie, even though I can't stand him. If I could raise the dead, I'd get John McCain in the White House. RIP Maverick. Mitt Romney is a decent man. He's putting country over party. Just let the witnesses speak and hear their voices.
Hilariousness I completely agree with you. He is definitely a conservative yet he is a honorable man. It takes real courage to stand up against his entire party establishment and vote to have witnesses in order to try to give the american people a fair trial. We truly had it so good in the 2008 and 2012 elections. You could disagree with the republican candidates politically, but you would never question their decency. John McCain vs Obama or Mitt Romney vs Obama. We were so lucky to be able to vote in peace without worrying about the legitimacy of our elections or the future of our country. When i found out that John McCain passed away, i cried. I am most definitely not a republican or a conservative however i was so sad because he was a man that i admired and respected for many years and I knew him to be decent. All that I can hope for is that whoever gets nominated for the candidacy is a honorable person. Of course I have my preferences on who I want to win the primary, however at this point I will vote for anyone who is just a good person.
Definitely. The reason this is a good political sketch is because it is not a viscous attack on one side, which is what most SNL political sketches aim for.
its so true elections go in cycles not by the person, thats why we tend to have 2 terms of one party then 2 terms of another, when the cycle is disrupted things go weird, it didn't matter than donald trump was the nominee the republican was going to win no matter what. there are people with this theory who have predicted outcomes with extreme accuracy.
Ah I remember this campaign. Tumblr affectionately nicknamed him Mittens, and that's genuinely all I can think about when I think of Mitt Romney. The 2016 election erased basically everything else about the election from my brain.
Trump will never be written fondly or respectfully in history. That is what he earned, the scorn of every legitimate historian. There will be a time just like the anti-segregationists, where everyone MAGA will invent stories of how they were actually not with him, or they were only sticking by the party, or they were 'one of the good ones' but we'll remember.
Romney would have actually been a good president. He pioneered universal healthcare. And would have created more jobs. And a middle of the road person.
Imagine being made fun of for loving your wife and not drinking alcohol. 😅 How the times have changed in 2020! These days the first lady swats her husband away like a fly...and speaking of flies...😂😂😂That VP debate😅😅😅

It was actually.
Yeah and Romney would have been okay as president.
