Mitt vs Santos

@George-K said in Mitt vs Santos:
Supposedly Mitt said, "You're an ass."
Santos replied, "You're an asshole."
Ah, this takes me back to the great intellectual debates we used to have in nursery school. They were heady days, when we bestrode the naughty-chair like a veritable colossus.

You cannot believe everything you read in the media.
Mitt was just thanking me for the great healthcare reform ideas I gave him when he was Governor, and for the brilliant strategy I suggested to him on how to distance himself from his healthcare reform achievements when he was running for POTUS in the Republican primaries.
I know Mitt really meant it as he was so emotional I could see tears in his eyes. Mitt and I go way back. Really miss the time when we saved the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics together.

I'm just trying to figure out who lies more, Santos or Biden.
At least both feel at home in the Liar's Capitol.

It's not just a question of amount. It's a question of duration. Santos has gotten a lot done in a short time. Biden's had more than half a century to build his resume.
Bless their hearts.

Some humans are born without capacity for shame. So I don’t think he has to try very hard to accomplish this.

Yeah, not with you on this one. Santos lives in an alternate reality rivaled only by Trump's it seems. What I would say to Santos: Romney wasn't telling you to shut up and go to the back of the room as if it was some sort of privilege play... he was saying you're an asshole for lying your way into Congress.

Lots of assholes throughout history have held their ground against convention. Is he an asshole? Certainly. But the drive for advantage is very strong in us primates.

The way he responded to Romney by playing the gay minority card indicates he'd be a lot happier in the Democratic Party. As indeed would Romney, some might say.

MAGA could fairly be called the intersection of populism and grievance.

No argument from me there.
Maybe self-pity will be what does America in. My dad always said it was the most unattractive emotion.
