The senator said he has “a hard time understanding” why Trump’s legal issues don’t “seem to be moving the needle” with more voters.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called out the majority of Iowa Republican caucus voters who baselessly believe that President Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election legitimately.

“I think a lot of people in this country are out of touch with reality and will accept anything Donald Trump tells them,” Romney, who announced in September that he is not seeking reelection, told CNN journalist Manu Raju on Wednesday.

About 65% of Iowa caucusgoers said they believe former President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him, according to entrance poll data.

    Rationally, the GOP is the safer bet.

    You are out of your mind.

      You missed my point there, bud.

      If you’re a billionaire who only cares about your money, and your choices are between one party that wants to cut your taxes and remove regulations on your businesses thereby decreasing your operating costs, and another party that talks about increasing your taxes and also increasing tax code enforcement, which do you support? It’d be irrational to not support the GOP and that was my original point- that not all Republicans are deluded Christofascists like Trump supporters. Immoral and evil, yes- but not insane.

      To be absolutely clear, I am not in any way endorsing voting for any GOP candidate. They are an existential threat to America and their entire party should be disbanded and their leadership investigated for conspiracy and sedition at the very least.
