Picture it, Americans - it’s 2024 and the next POTUS is a Republican. 😳

Here are your choices: 1) Trump 2) DeSantis 3) Romney

Who would you choose?

Can you believe how low the bar is with the GOP? I never in a million years thought I’d support Romney. But here I am, if given those choices.

I was living in California in 2012 and I campaigned my ass off for Obama, donated to his campaign, you name it. I was scared to death of Romney becoming president. But if Biden were to lose, who would you want the Republican to be? I would want Mitt Romney.

The GOP has fallen so hard. They’re a bunch of traitors. All except for a few.

Romney voted twice to impeach trump. He was the only Republican senator to do so. He voted for Ketanji Brown Jackson. He marched with BLM. He tried to encourage his party to not go with trump in 2016... Yes, he's a standard corporate republican with policies I don't agree with at all BUT he's not an existential threat to America.

So who would you vote for if given those 3 choices?

Romney is someone I’d feel better about having in the White House than either of the others. But I never thought he was a bad guy—he just wasn’t Obama.
Romney might even resurrect the ACA—originally his plan.

@bijouxbroussard

I don’t agree with his politics (at all), but I respect him and he is the most decent Republican we have right now

bijouxbroussard · F

@Randi1125 Same. I don’t vote GOP because the platform doesn’t represent what I value, and that’s unlikely to change unless I somehow become a billionaire and an Evangelical Christian. Short of that, nah.

Randi1125 · 31-35, F

@bijouxbroussard

HAHA!! I hope you become a billionaire one day but please don't join the evangelical cult. You're way too intelligent.

beckyromero · 36-40, F

I'll be voting for Biden - again. No matter who the Republicans nominate.

But if a Republican does win, I hope it would be Romney. I voted for him in 2012.

But as right as he was about Russia (as as WRONG as Obama was), the Republicans won't nominate him.

Strictgram · 70-79, C

@beckyromero Looks like the elections won't be unanimous. Too many leftist fools still voting for the incompetent.

tindrummer · M

@Strictgram still ❤️ing your own comments, huh? 😅

Strictgram · 70-79, C

@tindrummer Sure, why not? they're pithy and erudite.

wildbill83 · 36-40, M

Romney is a traitorous piece of garbage, no sensible republican would ever endorse him again.

checkoutanytime · M

@wildbill83 he ran to the liberal west, bc hes a prostitute like Joey.

BackyardShaman · 61-69, M

I will never vote Republican, but of course the only choice of these 3 is Romney.

Randi1125 · 31-35, F

@BackyardShaman

The bar is low. But at least he can see how bad trump was. And voted to impeach him. And he could see the lack of intelligence….

JohnOinger · 41-45, M

I never vote for republican But I vote for Romney at least the republican have some decent honest people

melbeacher · 56-60, M

Romney. He is the only smart one of the bunch. The other two are complete knuckle heads.

BohemianBoo · M

All three have identical policies except for one. Romney supports Democracy. So if I had to choose, I'd vote for him.

LeopoldBloom · M

Romney, even though I feel the same way you do about him. But he has no chance of being the Republican nominee.

Randi1125 · 31-35, F

@LeopoldBloom He doesn't, but it was a fun game. 😉

Dshhh · M

romney
he tires harder to be human

Randi1125 · 31-35, F

@Dshhh Ha! He is the lesser evil of the Republicans

Dshhh · M

@Randi1125 we should not have to choose between evils

Randi1125 · 31-35, F

@Dshhh damn shame, isn't it?

Penny · 46-50, F

I lived in Massachussets when Romney was governor. It was really great.

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

Romney is a reasonable, intelligent adult American whereas the others are complete idiots and domestic enemies of the American people. Since the Repub establishment is composed of idiots and domestic enemies it really wouldn't do any good to elect Romney as President.

Jenna76 · 36-40, F

It's kind of odd but have you ever posted anything about your own country/government, perhaps mention the thugs/criminals running it and its people into the ground, slaughtering innocent women and children in a sovereign county.
Is there one positive thing that your country does for anyone?
Perhaps you are the beginning of election interference.
I find it very strange.

@Randi1125 Ah there you go, not russian at all a Californian. Point made, trying to pretend you something you are not.

Randi1125 · 31-35, F

@Jenna76 Lady! What is your obsession with me? I was born in Moscow and didn't leave until I was 8. To this day I spend about 1/3 of my time in Russia. Most of my family is in Moscow and I have business there. What is your fucking problem?

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@Randi1125 Are you from Idaho?

hyg346 · 41-45, M

Romney

Subsumedpat · 36-40, M

I think there will be more choices, whether they will be chosen is another thing.

LeopoldBloom · M

@Subsumedpat Oh, yeah, it will be a zoo on the Republican side.

lovelywarpedlemon

they're all batshit. i agree with you.

Randi1125 · 31-35, F

@lovelywarpedlemon

Romney would never incite an insurrection, so there's that.

SteelHands · 61-69, M

That's a ways off. The primaries will probaby have a far wider selection than these three.

Nobody that really pays attention is about to vote for a rino republican who's so far only proven how much he's like Biden.

So there's that.

checkoutanytime · M

DeSantis, Romney it to out of touch, Trump has to many haters.

Out of those three, Romney. Trump is still a dangerous and incompetent authoritarian. DeSantis is a more competent version of Trump. Romney is milquetoast 90s and 00s Republican, which is far more tolerable than the other two. Need to bring back the Teddy Roosevelt style of Republican.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

Romney. I might not like his politics, but he doesn't make me physically ill.

tindrummer · M

spot on about Romney - especially rather than either of those low-lifes

Quetzalcoatlus · 46-50, M

Romney will beat Biden in a landslide.

Randi1125 · 31-35, F

@Quetzalcoatlus maybe

NoGamesTolerated · F

Trump! Rawr

@Strictgram Any evidence that the border is open? Source?
What policies does he have that qualify as a war on fossil fuels? Be specific.
As much as I wish Biden was a Marxist, he's definitely a Capitalist. But I'm sure you have no idea what Marxism is.

Strictgram · 70-79, C

@BohemianBoo You're a lost cause. You'll be one of the last rats off the sinking ship. Don't waste any more of my time. Try educating yourself to reality.
