No real answers or policy proposals, blaming every problem on migrants (while Biden's policy on the border is largely a continuation of Trump's), just a bunch of bullshit "everything was great, now everything sucks, but I will make it great again". I honestly cringed at Trump more, Biden's ramblings at least were funny.

I can't imagine anyone who's undecided at this point listen to this and say "This guy will make things right". Trump's entire objective is to let Biden stumble and fall and then cruise to presidency, but he makes every effort imaginable to prevent himself from it. No zingers or clever retorts against a literal corpse (aside from maybe one "I don't know what he said and he isn't either"), just and abysmal performance. Honestly, even someone like Ramaswami would've dogwalked Biden.

If anyone is capable of losing to Biden at this point, it's Trump.

There's been a big lib rehabilitation of Romney in recent years.

The most hilarious thing imo was the extremely predictable lib rehabilitation of Bush pretty much the second Trump got elected

I looked up when he was on Ellen and Jimmy Kimmel doing his aw shucks war criminal grandpa routine, and you’re not exaggerating, those were both in 2017.

Romney wasn't that different from McCain, Bush or Reagan. Or Sunak or Thatcher.

Relative to other conservatives, he was within the norm.

within the norm of holden bloodfeast, yes

Dude he literally claimed 47% of Americans were sucking at the teat of Welfare. Mitt Romney is just a polite fascist.

And that's not even getting into Bain capital or the weird Mormon prophecies.

I guess he was technically polite because he said the 47% line at some fancy bourgeoisie party that wasn’t open to the public.

Those people were evil too. I guess you think Trump is bad only because he's more inclined to say the quiet part out loud, which doesn't fit "the norm".
