@anneapplebaum Wow. The extract from the book about Romney in the Senate is intense. It does seem that the US is failing, fast and badly, and that the failure is being brought about by a strong and active minority of politicians and voters. It seems to be happening at every level, from school boards to the Senate, and it seems to be happening fast and irreversibly.
Cute. Except, considering the observations he made about Hawley and Vance, he just ruined the carefully crafted narrative with his loud make-room-for-the-next-generation sideswipe.
Which, according to the article, amounts to a blatant misrepresentation of his more personal motives, too.
@anneapplebaum I'm pretty sure it must have been worse than this: "Romney had come to dread the GOP caucus meetings. They had a certain high-school-cafeteria quality that made him feel ill at ease."
@anneapplebaum Excellent article. Thanks for sharing.
Shame he's leaving US politics.
The few good and reasonably honest in the GOP will soon all be gone...
