    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Asawin Suebsaeng

    "100% a republican figure" is a serious overstatement: 1) lifelong flirtation w/both parties; 2) more D than R donor almost every year from 1990 thru 2009 3) mulled a run as a D in 2004. Romney pursued his endorsement precisely bc he was not seen in 2012 as a reliable partisan R.https://twitter.com/swin24/status/1163557333873676289 …

    He was 100% a republican figure before he ran, why else would Romney actively seek his public endorsement https://twitter.com/jaredlholt/status/1163548617749274624 …

        "Why would a presidential candidate want the endorsement of a guy who was not a regular supporter of his party" is not a thing a person who writes about national politics should have to ask.

        Yeah but he was very close to running for President as a Republican in 2012 and everyone knew he was a Republican during the birtherism stuff. This is somewhat disingenuous.

        I can kinda see it but at the same time Donald J Trump was not a key member of the Republican Party nor was he taken seriously at all.

        The party backed the man who led the birther movement when he became the nominee. Republicans own that forever.

        I didn't remember Trump working as part of Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign ... because that's where the idea of "birtherism" was created and first used as a political attack.

        He did lead the GOP field in 2011 when he was flirting with running

        You can't take those polls seriously. There's no way Donald Trump would win the GOP nomination once the field whittled down.

        Romney pursued his endorsement because birtherism made him an unelected star in the GOP base.

        Yet for some reason when he runs the most overtly racist campaign in decades he effortlessly wins the GOP primary and becomes the most popular politician in the history of the Republican party 🤔🤔🤔
