Why do people not like Mittens?

@central17 Its not longer about politics but the politician. If you stand by your ethos, stick to your voting principles, believe in the things you claimed for decades and they make you oppose the person who is not living up to them, you risk ostracization. Its cult of personality over principle.

Talking to a Trump supporter, talking to a Bernie supporter, you find its not about what that person thought and believed before Trump and/or Bernie but what the fealty to those folks require. Personal principles become eschewed. A generational conservative (son of a GOP governor, daughter of a GOP VP) can be labeled RINO, not for their voting record, not for their politics, but for the desire to stand firm in their commitment to the principle of their belief. Guys like Jeff Flake, Cornyn and Rob Portman choose not to run again and we all lose.

Romney is the kind of Republican I've loved. But we live in a time when a man like John McCain can be treated like he's less than an American Hero and the man who claims that POW are somehow not heroic is allowed to wrap himself in the facade of patriotism. Sad times really.

We all win! Those are people who say one thing to your face and then vote the other way behind your back. I assisted USSS with McCain during his election run. The USSS guys loved him but he was an absolute dick to ordinary people. I disagreed with him vehemently on his immigration policy. I’m not sure what I agree with on Mittens but it ain’t much I can assure you that. He and John Kerry are the same person to me.
 
well Done in my book ! I cant stand dishonesty, 1/2 truths, pc or hypocrisy, and liken politics into a psudo-latin root, poly = more than 1 Tics = blood sucking parasite . I'd much rather an abrasive A-hole rude and arrogant, but says the Truths who's actions follow his/her word than any double talking figurine career politician. Sorry to get high horsed, but morals, ethos, and principals were brought up and it looked like jumbo-shrimp. Mitts is a shallow 2faced double talking washed up politician, who married rich, and seems to be getting his just do's. Maybe after politics he has a future as a blogger, since he does have the experience ✌️

I wonder if Romney notices that when he criticized Trump, NBC, CNN, WAPO, NYT, ABC, CBS, etc. all quoted him and wanted him to speak on camera: But when he criticizes Biden none of his media "friends" give him the time of day?

It has nothing to do with principals, rehtoric, truth, or anything else -except one thing , bowing down to Trump!
If you are a member of Trump’s cult of personality -you are a good Republican; if not you are a RHINO.

What a load of manure. The Democrats have voted as a solid block on all issues for the past dozen or so years. Only slight exception was the guy from W.V. who his party hung out to dry. So according to this shill, they have no principles other than vote the party line whether or not they agree with it. He loves any Republican, as long as they act like a Democrat.
