Hey Drudge has a startling headline, neither Romney or Bush support Donald Trump! Exhilarating headline, especially since neither supported Trump in 2016. Drudge hates Trump now (if he still owns the site). But his content has been awful lately. I get he is pandering to get clicks, and is making tens of millions a year. But fuck, he is really just going after clicks rather than cutting edge content. I can't tell you how many times recently I have sent him links and he published them on his site, he has gotten lazy. He used to get information, now he is just an aggregator.

Romney marches in Floyd protest 'to make sure people understand that black lives matter'

Romney kinda lost his way after 2012 when he screwed up a potential winning challenge to Obama and got beaten in a not-so-close election.
Since then he's been having a hard time defining himself. Part of him wants to be conservative, but part of him wants to be the sensitive guy who opposes Trump.
Whole thing is weird.
It's too bad because I liked him and agreed with his politics more than I have any candidate since Reagan.
In general, whenever a politician tries to reinvent himself into something he's not, it ends in disaster. You should just be yourself and sink or swim with it. Very few end up succeeding by transforming themselves into a different person or character.
Trump was the exception. He went from his longtime "arrogant, ruthless-but-successful businessman" character to hero of the working class. But that's because Trump is incredibly talented at reading the people as a whole and saying what they want to hear. Most politicians can't do that and come off sincere like he can.
Romney should have just stuck to the "solid but practical conservative" routine he had going during the 2012 election, and hoped that eventually the party would move past Trump once he was out of office. The marching for black lives is so disingenuous.
Oh, for sure Trump is a big time liar and bullshit artist. I don't think he's a good guy, and I wouldn't want him for a friend.
He's the opposite of someone like George W. Bush, who wasn't nearly as good at saying the right things to convert people into supporting him, but was almost always honest and forthright with his thoughts and beliefs. (At the time, the left relentlessly bashed him, though, despite the fact that he was far more genuine and honest than the President who preceded him.)
Trump was the President the GOP needed in 2016, though, because the Democrats had become increasingly extreme, vicious, and manipulative, and weren't going to cooperate with a centrist or a nice guy anyway. So Trump has basically taken a "fuck you" attitude with the Democrats and the biased media, which in some ways is refreshing. The GOP nominating Trump was basically telling Democrats and the media, "You've all been huge assholes to us in recent years, so here's our own asshole to deal with. Enjoy!"
I would love to return to a time when both parties cooperated, and when the political parties were less cult-like, but that doesn't seem like it's happening any time soon.
I don’t think it’s funny at all. I can’t imagine disrespecting and taunting the people that I will eventually need help from. In what other situations is it acceptable to treat anyone like this? That picture is actually tame compared to the videos of people yelling and screaming directly in their face. These emotional idiots think things will end well acting like this?
