    I didn't know Mitt had much to do with the Democratic party so I am confused why you would ever expect this in there?

    Mind clarifying?

    Your reading comprehension is abysmal and you don't know how to spell. I didn't "cite" an article or a quote. I watched all three debates. When Mitt went into being docile while Obama was lecturing him I knew the election was over. It's just very bad optics for a republican to allow a democrat to walk over him like that. Unlike you, conservatives don't like pussies. Romney is almost as big a pussy as you are. You have to get in a libtard bully's face and make him think he's going to get bitch slapped. He'll back off like the slinky coward he is.

    Was able to go digging in a closet at my parent house and pulled this historical piece of political paraphernalia out. This was from the 1994 Massachusetts republican state convention when Romney was running as the GOP senatorial candidate. I was the president of the high school young republicans at the time.

    Romney went on to win the primary but lost the general to Edward Kennedy. Of course, a decade later Romney won the gubernatorial race in Massachusetts. He was one of the architects in Massachusetts' Health Care Reform law which was the first in the nation to mandate health insurance for all citizens and was used as the blueprint for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), one of the greatest federal bills of the past century. I shake my head looking back at what the republican party was back then and what it has turned into now.

    Trump was a registered Democrat post 2000 with zero doubt. When asked about it, he didn’t run from it, he said:

    "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats....But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disasters under the Republicans."

    Mickey doesn’t know anything beyond how to scratch out a meager living driving 300k miles a year to exploit low level slots.

    Yeah, those George W Bush years were great. Got the USA into two wars, imploded the housing market and the financial crisis happened on his watch. Meanwhile under Trump, the economy roared, Putin was not invading countries, inflation was nothing anyone knew about, you could buy a house at 3% not 8%, Hamas was not butchering 1400 civilians, ISIS was destroyed and China was not threatening to obliterate Taiwan. Oh but wait, Trump's tone, his tone. LOL, its why he ahead in just about every poll over the Alzheimer's guy.

    (Quote clipped, quote-in-quote removed)

    Bush wasn't responsible for the financial crisis, nor was he responsible for the fact that we got attacked on 9/11.

    Obviously, Operation: Iraqi Freedom, or whatever they called that horseshit, was done on the premise that they had WMD's---which Bush knew to be a lie. Shit, half of America knew it was a lie. And, even if they did have, they either got them from us or from some other country out there that we sold them to in the first place!

    Still, the banking/housing crisis was due to the fact that they were going for record numbers on things and weren't lending with any conservativeness whatsoever. If you want to blame Bush to the extent that the financial system wasn't more tightly regulated, I suppose that's fine, but I don't know that it's for the Federal Government to strictly determine how banks do business and am inclined to say it's not.

    As far as the, 'Economy roared,' is concerned, I'd guess I'd need to know what metric you're using to make that determination such that it would be roaring under Trump, but not Biden. If you're using the DOW, then the economy is better now, but for the runaway inflation. Of course, the inflation is partially due to the Federal Government just dumping free money on people in 2020-2021, which Trump himself signed off on, to a large extent.

    So, whatever you want the current predicament to be, or how you perceive the current state of affairs, Trump is either partially responsible for it, or if I'm charitable, did nothing to stop it.

    Of course, many of the states (which tended to be more liberal) doing draconic and quasi-militaristic shutdowns of most, 'Non-essential' businesses had the most do it with it---which wasn't Trump's fault.

    As far as current mortgage rates are concerned, that's a function of the, 'Economy doing well,' whether you like it or not. It's cyclical, so I can't imagine the current state of affairs will last forever...it'll last until we decide to quit playing an increasingly worse (for most citizens) game with ever bigger numbers, I guess. Of course, the further we kick the can of inevitability down the road, the bumpier and more pothole-filled the road is going to get. I think it's time that we just take it on the nose and face the inevitability of another recession before the cliff we're jumping from becomes even higher.

    As far as foreign affairs goes, I'm simply not qualified to speak to that.

    much of the 2008 banking crisis can be traced back to Senator PHil Graham from Texas and his cohorts. anyway, the government is never the right solution.

    Normally it shouldn't.

    But if you're going to do a biography with the thesis of, "The GOP Mitt Romney knew ten years ago is dead, and has become an extremist group of crazies and sycophants", then you also have to honestly discuss what's happened to the other side.

    Otherwise the reader comes away with the incorrect impression that Democrats have stayed the same, yet Republicans have gone crazy.

    Mitt is the crazy ex-girlfriend who seemingly just wants to hurt the party at this point, because he was rejected and mistreated.

    And I don't blame him for being angry. He was indeed mistreated and unfairly vilified as a RINO.

    But nobody should be taking him seriously right now, as he's speaking through intense anger, and he chose a mouthpiece who hated him and the GOP back when he ran for President.

    The "GOP has changed" narrative is so tiresome. It's changed in personality, not policy.

    You love to say this, but it's more of a matter of honestly framing provocative statements.

    You cannot talk about one party changing or becoming extreme without comparing it to what the other party has done. In many ways, they are interconnected. The Democrats have radicalized in part due to a panicked response to the rise of Trumpism.

    Romney's book could have been valuable if it explored how both sides of the aisle have changed over the past decade. He could have criticized Trump's outsized influence and control of the party, while also pointing out how the Democrats have gone nuts via their ongoing TDS. Instead, it appears to just be a lot of crying about how mean and nasty the Republican Party was to him, and how awful/extreme they've become.

    His choice of a leftist to write his biography was either naive or calculated. I'm still landing on the belief that it was more being fooled into believing this guy understood him and his gripes.

    I remember about 30 years ago, a girl who had previously barely talked to me, and whose longtime boyfriend disliked me, suddenly had an interest to talk to me. Why? Because they just had a bitter breakup, and she knew I'd be a sympathetic ear who would validate her complaints about him. And she was right. This is basically the same thing.
