The senator said he has “a hard time understanding” why Trump’s legal issues don’t “seem to be moving the needle” with more voters.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called out the majority of Iowa Republican caucus voters who baselessly believe that President Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election legitimately.

“I think a lot of people in this country are out of touch with reality and will accept anything Donald Trump tells them,” Romney, who announced in September that he is not seeking reelection, told CNN journalist Manu Raju on Wednesday.

About 65% of Iowa caucusgoers said they believe former President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him, according to entrance poll data.

    all they need to do is stay home one election cycle to give a clear signal

    Perhaps they too have constant messaging from their party to hold their noses and vote for him this time or joe “will destroy their way of life”

      I’m sure they have that. But this is why I added the qualifications. The huge chasm between the 2 parties just saddens me. Especially cause US politics influences so much of the rest of the world.

      And regardless of what you think of US politics, I think seeing the twice I peached, 10+ times criminally charged, sexual abusing, insurrectionist, grifter in chief keep his credibility, does a lot of damage on a global scale.
