Wow, both my guy Romney and myself are being called out. First things first. Flagpole's question, Is this presidential? I don't see this as presidential or as unpresidential. Let's put this in perspective. Romney is the only Republican, not retiring to speak out so strongly against Trump. Romney has been attacked through fox news and by other Republicans as a traitor to the party. No one has defended him. He is an island right now in the party. I have no problem with him defending himself and getting his message out there with use of a handle. The handle he used was clearly done in a way to let people know it was an alias. Do you think less of him because of it? And yes Romney said he wouldn't run but there is still a very remote chance of him, as the only moral voice currently in the Republican party getting drafted if things keep going south for Trump. And please don't say this is a reason to vote for Trump over Romney. Trump called a news station and pretended to be D. Barron, an employee of trump to rave about Trump. That is crazy town. The extremes have taken both the Republican and Democrat parties. My fellow Republican Trump supporters have all sold their souls. I can't believe what these cowards accept from Trump. But the Democrat candidates have a progressive and a social democrat that in other saner times would never have a chance in the party. But right now they are dominating. Now there is some slight ray of light for the normals kobuchar and buttigieg but they are a long shot. Yes I think Romney would be much better than the socialist or the progressive. And lastly, I don't support Romney simply because he looks presidential. He is a moral, smart leader who would do well. If the Dems nominate a normal person, I would be less feeling like Romney is definitely needed.

You think a Republican should choose Trump over Romney for this?
Hell no. Night Observer's point has been that we should all (even Democrats and Independents) with Romney over any of the Democrat candidates, and his reasoning is that Romney is "Presidential".
Romney has said he isn't running, so it's probably a moot point, but this action of his was NOT Presidential.
America needs a Democrat in the White House this next time. The GOP needs some punishment/push back for electing and then enabling the orange monster in the White House.
