- If I've learned one thing in the past four years, it's that: If it would improve the human condition, it's gonna get fucked over by fascists. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 12:34 3
  - And that good news is a lie; we can only look forward to mediocre news and continual fascist defilement of the commons. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 12:36 2
    - oh my -- nm - mud Feb 5, 12:40 1
      - "That's not good news at all, you little ..." -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 12:46

From a tactics point - it's something to shove down the throat of every vulnerable Republican Senator. "Mitt voted yes, why couldn't you?" -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 11:28 35
- The important thing is that it undermines the partisan issue. Maybe raises further the possibility of censure (which is toothless but further - pmb Feb 5, 11:57 1

    - Right? If he's kicked out of office - what power does he have to primary anyone out? What's he gonna rally for a GOP senator's primary race? nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 5, 11:53 2
      - he's addicted to the cheers. He'll show up anywhere for anything once he is out (as long as you meet his price) -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 11:54 1
        
        There it is. There will have to be something in it for him. Just getting Mitt Romney primaried out of office won't be enough for him. - Turd Ferguson Feb 5, 11:55
    - No, but TrumpTV could throw its weight behind someone. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Feb 5, 11:42 1
      - Right. Even just the tweets. He's not going away even if he actually leaves office. And his MAGA fans are not either. -- nm - pmb Feb 5, 11:54

    - Mitt's got money and probably one of the only seats Trump can't get a person out of. -- nm - Remlik Feb 5, 11:34 4
      - We all know why they don't, but the point is to hammer them with the reason. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 11:36
      - Trump has a better approval rating in Utah than Mitt does at the current time. - Will Hunting Feb 5, 11:35 2
        
        interesting. that's good to know -- nm - Remlik Feb 5, 12:12
        
        And yet 4 years ago they had a 3rd party candidate run as the anti trump - eag Feb 5, 11:37
