MAGA furious over Mitt Romney saying he'd vote for Democrats
"It would be an upgrade from, in my opinion, Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden," the Republican senator said.
In Mitt Romney's defence, if I had to choose between four more years of Joe Biden and Donald Trump potentially forming the Fourth Reich, I'd choose Sleepy Joe any day of the week.
I don't like Biden but he needs our energy. The opposition is so much worse.
Almost like Romney is one of the few Republicans with some actual fucking integrity.
MAGA furious in much the same way my 1 year old neice was furious that I wouldn't let her drink paint last weekend.
Quoting them directly, "Fuck your feelings."
They transformed him into a RINO lol
they always say stuff like this once they’re out, since they aren’t playing the game of willfully obtuse anymore.
Sounds like some people need to learn to lift themselves up by their own MAGAstraps
(To the tune of 'The Eensy Weensy Spider')
The melty little snowflakes went off the rails again,
"Why won't fuckin' Romney stay on the Trumpie Train?"
A zombie'd surely starve there, tryin' to find a brain,
As the melty little snowflakes go off the rails again.
"Anybody. I would be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans, maybe not Vivek [Ramaswamy], but the others that are running would be acceptable to me. I would be happy to vote for them. I would be happy to vote for any of the Democrats too. I mean it would be an upgrade from, in my opinion, Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden," Romney said.
The senator added: "I like President Biden. I find him a very charming and engaging person, there's some places I agree with and most places I disagree with him. I think he made all sorts of terrible mistakes, but I would like to see someone else run."
Smart man. If I were a Republican, I’d probably say the same. He seems to see things right down the line. It’s a shame he didn’t manage to make it to become the 45th president; echoing his sentiment it, would have been a far greater alternative.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Senator Mitt Romney faced backlash online Saturday from supporters of Donald Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement after a resurfaced interview showed him saying he'd vote for Democrats in the 2024 presidential election.
Romney, a Utah Republican who has served in the Senate since 2019, announced in September he won't seek reelection in 2024, citing age as a contributing factor.
In late October, Trump denounced Romney as "a total loser" who allegedly "begged" to be appointed secretary of state in 2016.
However, Romney has since continued to become a prominent Trump critic and was the lone Republican senator who voted in 2020 to convict the former president after he was impeached for pressuring Ukraine to open an investigation into the Biden family.
The book features several moments of harsh Trump criticism from the Utah senator, including his description of the former president as "really not smart."
In previous response to a request for comment, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek that Romney is "a certified loser who announced his retirement after everyone learned he was serving himself instead of his constituents.

They can only be furious. Sure beats thinking.
Fuck em all.
Wait, a sensible Republican?
What is this? The nillies?
....MAGA is the reason he'd vote for democrats.
We need a new green deal ASAP.
"Anybody. I would be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans, maybe not Vivek [Ramaswamy], but the others that are running would be acceptable to me.
That is a man speaking who dislikes Trump personally, but doesn't have any issues with his policies. Ramaswamy, DeSantis, et al., are very similar to Trump politically, only more polished in personality. Nikki Haley and Chris Christie are probably the most rational of the current crop of Republican primary candidates, and they're still far from the more centrist Republicans like Bush I or II, or even Richard Milhouse Nixon.
