"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 …
