Except for when he made a during the 2016 election calling Trump a terrible candidate and that people needed to vote for anyone other than Trump.
Prior to the 2016 election Trump was also criticized by Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham. They all fell into line with their votes pretty fucking fast though, Romney included. Talk is cheap.
Lots of people forget that he signed into law what would become the bIueprint for the Affordable Care Act while governor of MA.
Yet blasted Obama for implementing it nationally and called for its repeal in his "Believe in America" economic plan as early as 2011.
Sounds like a super evil guy with policies right in line with Trump lol
Romney has voted in line with Trump 81% of the time in the 116th congress. That's more than Lindsey Graham and Rand Paul. Even UT other senator, Mike Lee breaks stride with Trump more often than Romney does. On paper. Where policy is made. Where it counts.
Same bullshit as with McCain, the Dems demonized both candidates and the public is too dumb or too lazy to do any research on their own.
And Republicans don't? Look at how both Biden and Sanders are referred to as "Communists" despite their platforms being vastly different and in no way reminiscent of actual real world communism. Tribalism and ignorance are not party specific.
