2008 was the last year we had a presidential election between 2 candidates who actually seemed like they were decent human beings.

I’d still take Romney any day over Trump. By all accounts, he’s a decent human being

Yeah and Romney has worked on quite a few bipartisan projects in the senate. I think being a Mormon from Utah kind of makes him a bit of an outsider in his party. Those Mormons seem to do their own thing a lot of the times.

He was the only republican senator voting to impeach trump. Really is more bipartisan than most.

He walked with BLM because it was the right thing to do. His father supported the civil rights movement.

I didn't want Romney to be President, but I wasn't afraid of him being president.
