#MittRomney is worth $250 million and can afford all the security he needs to protect him from his party’s fascist base.

But he “cited concerns for the safety of his family as one reason for his reluctance to endorse” #Harris. Think about how dangerous it is for lower-level GOPers to buck the cult.

The Washington Post · Why Romney is resisting pressure to endorse HarrisBy Jacqueline Alemany

#MittRomney Braces for #Trump’s Retribution

#Romney has good reason to fear Trump’s vengeance.

By McKay Coppins

Trump had repeatedly pledged to use the #DOJ & the #FBI to go after his political enemies if reelected.…Romney knew that he was likely to appear on any enemies list kept by the former president, & he’d privately mused to friends that it might be time for him & his wife, Ann, to consider moving abroad. (A spox for the senator told me he was not serious….)

Continued thread

>230 fmr ofcls for #Republican presidents #GeorgeHWBush & #GeorgeWBush have also backed #Harris, in addition to campaign staffers for Republican presidential noms #JohnMcCain & #MittRomney. #Biden received a similar amount of #GOP support in his 2020 run against #Trump.

Fmr #Reagan staff backing Harris includes Ken Adelman, the US ambassador to the #UN & #US #ArmsControl dir under Reagan, as well as B.Jay Cooper, the special asst & deputy press sec to Reagan.

Continued thread

#Trump announced that 2 of the nation’s most prominent #ConspiracyTheorists#RFKJr & #TulsiGabbard — would be co-chairs of his presidential transition if he wins the election, w/influence over key appointments & policies. Gabbard’s trumpeting of #RussianPropaganda has been labeled “#treasonous” by #Republican Sen #MittRomney, & RFKJr’s long-shot pres campaign somehow fizzled after he acknowledged, among other things, having a #BrainWorm & leaving a #DeadBearCub in NYC’s #CentralPark.

"West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin has reconsidered his op-ed from this morning's New York Times, in which he suggested Mitt Romney should be the Democratic candidate this November. "I take it all back. Harris for America!," he said in a message that was posted to former "West Wing" star Josh Malina's X account. Here's more from The Wrap.
