Good discussion on Mitt. Sigh. I don’t think you have to love everything Trump does but this constant bashing just seems to be so much virtue signaling. Well I guess he’s in the R column but that’s about all you can say. Happy New Year gentlemen.
The same people who published this op-ed said Mitt was a cruel frat boy who killed dogs, let women die by denying insurance, was a sexist because of binders full of women and wanted to put black people back in chains.
And he was more liberal on healthcare than Obama.
Your virtue doesn’t matter if you can’t get policy done and you can’t get policy done if you can’t win an election. You can’t win an election unless you go on the offense against character smears vs. not wanting to criticize the Democrat.
Among the other faults that Mitt’s op ed exposes is his now famous tone-deafness. He seems to be in the orbit where Bill Kristol’s is the voice of authority.
