The senator said he has “a hard time understanding” why Trump’s legal issues don’t “seem to be moving the needle” with more voters.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called out the majority of Iowa Republican caucus voters who baselessly believe that President Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election legitimately.

“I think a lot of people in this country are out of touch with reality and will accept anything Donald Trump tells them,” Romney, who announced in September that he is not seeking reelection, told CNN journalist Manu Raju on Wednesday.

About 65% of Iowa caucusgoers said they believe former President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him, according to entrance poll data.

    Incidentally, McCain was the last Republican presidential candidate I seriously evaluated as a possible choice, though I did end up voting for Obama.

      At the time, I thought that if we had McCain as President, we wouldn’t have to listen to the GOP go after Clinton for four years. I soon realized that any Dem, no matter who, was demonic in their eyes.

        That’s true, but Obama really broke their brains… I wonder what it was about him that made them so upset. Hmmm.

          Look up ‘Travelgate’ and Vince Foster. They were creating Clinton scandals from Day Zero. I know a lot of people who think that if they’d held their fire until they had Monica they could have actually gotten Bill Clinton impeached and thrown out. But by the time they got an actual offense everyone could see that it was a witch hunt.
