Jay Kuo comments on Mitt Romeny's new "burn book," written by McKay Coppins, an excerpt of which just appeared in the Atlantic:
"Now that he has nothing to lose, along with a conscience and record he apparently wants to clear, Romney’s accounts of the GOP behind the scenes, and of the party he once led but now literally fears, are a gripping read, and ultimately very unsettling."

"They confirm what many have long suspected but the Republican Party has kept secret behind closed doors, and for the first time they confirm a very dark threat to the rule of law in our Republic.
With this book, Romney has broken faith, and ranks, and the party’s deep pathologies and treachery to our constitution are being laid bare."

@f884fa2b Mitt the Milquetoast: Instead of standing up when he could have made a difference, he is making money on telling the story of the crimes and anti-American behavior of his own Republican party after he leaves. What a pathetic, cowardly scumbag.
@f884fa2b
Nope! Sorry. The man is still a registered Republican. I will not contribute one penny to anyone who remains affiliated with the party previously known as "KKK"

Gripping & telling, yes, but no surprise. There have been plenty of hints that most of the repubs were playing roles. Graham. Cruz, others who condemned trump & the prospect of his becoming POTUS as appalling did not change their opinions. He proved them correct & they knew it. I told a group of recent refugee teens who were worried at his election that I was sure America would dump him fast. We had a process to correct it. I gave it 6 months. Boy was I wrong! Repbs=weasels
