In reply to the discussion: G-dammit. Romney is NOT a hero. Stop praising him. Just stop! [View all]dawg day
(7,947 posts)McCain was one of the majority of senators who voted against repeal of the ACA... but he's the one lauded for it. Why? Because he was theatrical about it, because he built suspense, because he defiantly defied Trump to his face.
So let's take it. Let's blare it out. Let's say, "Trump was defied by a senior member of his own party! Ha ha!"
It will drive Trump batty, and he's going to do and say crazed and vicious things. The few remaining GOPers who have the capacity for survival, much less rational thinking, might respond by saying, uh, no, gonna distance myself from the crazy.
Some quietly leave the party-- some loudly leave the party. Some, I hope, will leave the president/vicepresident vote unchecked in November.
We don't have to call Romney a hero. Who cares? He did something that will have a bad effect on Trump. And I'm all for that.
