To Mitt Romney, “principled conservatism” means voting for the enemies of conservatism.
Speaking to CBS’ Norah O’Donnell on Sunday, Romney said he’d “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 and I’d be happy to vote for them.” While he didn’t mention Trump in that sentence, there’s no doubt that it’s both Trump and Vivek’s name on his “do not support” list. Romney voted for his wife Ann in the 2020 election rather than cast his ballot for Trump.
“But the others that are running would be acceptable to me, and I’d be happy to vote for them. I’d be happy to vote for a number of the Democrats too. It would be an upgrade, in my opinion, from Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden,” Romney said, before adding “look, I like President Biden. I find him to be a very charming and engaging person. There are many places I agree with him - but most I disagree with.”
