It's reached a high water mark under Trump. 45% of his ambassadors have been political appointees, more than any preceding president...Its been SOP for as long as I can remember

that can pretty much be said about the entirety of the gop at this pointHe, Trump and McConnell are a disgrace.
Romney is a republican and an obvious example of a man who risked his entire career to do the right thing. There are some decent people in the republican party. But their leadership is consolidating power and trying to rig the system to remain in power. Need to cut the head off of the snake in the next election - and I don't just mean Trump. I don't mind if Republicans hold onto some of these seats, but I cannot respect anyone who votes for the three men that I listed.that can pretty much be said about the entirety of the gop at this point
yeah, romney. but at this point, that's about it. the rest of them are falling in line. some are doing it with more furrowed brows than others, but they are all in regardless.Romney is a republican and an obvious example of a man who risked his entire career to do the right thing.

If this was China, Romney would have disappeared by now. Trump wants it to be like China.garbage on parade

Doesn't paint a very good image of conservatives does it?
What the heck, you have to be credentialed now to be a conservative? I’m calling BS.

Do not call these guys conservatives. I consider myself to be moderately conservative and the Republican party is not conservative anymore. We have a problem with associating conservative with republican and liberal with democrat. As the democratic race has shown us there is a wide range in the party from liberal to neo-liberal, to socialist, and yes there are even some moderate democrats. However for some reason we allow a few people in the Republican party to define conservatism. Cutting taxes on the wealthy to such an extent that it costs the deficit to go up is not conservative. If we had a budget surplus THEN cutting taxes on the rich would be considered conservative. Cutting medicare and social security should not be considered conservative. If you make a promise to the population that if they give up a certain percent of their income for their entire life then when they retire they will be covered by the government, then the government should cover that. If you do not want to honor that commitment then just stop saying the social security tax is an investment for when people retire and call it robbery. I could go on but I feel like a simple response turned into a rant on accident. To get to the point: republican does not equal conservative.Doesn't paint a very good image of conservatives does it?
Welcome to politburo "justice".Trump thinks it should be legal to lie to congress, I guess:
Justice Department undercuts own prosecutors on Trump ally Stone's sentencing
things are going to keep getting progressively worse.Welcome to politburo "justice".
it's all good because tax cuts and abortionAgain, Trump has no shame. He now admits to Geraldo in an interview that he sent Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to find damaging information about Biden. I really wish they would impeach him again.
