57. Romney's trying to stay out of Trump's line of fire. He'd like to see Trump in jail as much as we would.

Considering all the indictments, trials, convictions, etc., pursuing trump didn't help us. Think both Biden and Garland Silent Type Sep 30 #13

Prosecution was the right thing to do. We have never had a President try to violently overturn an election, on TV. SunSeeker Sep 30 #19

Unfortunately, didn't work for us, unless you believe trump would have won by 10 points without the indictments, etc. Silent Type Sep 30 #22

Ridiculous. Trump won the Popular vote by just 1.5% Wiz Imp Sep 30 #35

Also ridiculous. Silent Type Sep 30 #36

Not being able to complete those prosecutions is what cost us. SunSeeker Sep 30 #39

Relying on courts to determine election by convicting trump is the mistake, IMO. Silent Type Sep 30 #40

We were not using courts to "determine an election." We were trying to convict a criminal. SunSeeker Sep 30 #41

Sorry, we thought he would be eliminated by courts. The right wing talk is trying to convince people Silent Type Sep 30 #44

We thought he would be eliminated by the truth. Lies (and sexism and racism) won. SunSeeker Sep 30 #45

Tough for some to accept truth. Hope we don't run on retribution and payback because we'll lose again. Silent Type Sep 30 #47

Running on retribution worked for Trump. SunSeeker Sep 30 #49

OK. Still hope we don't run on retribution just because it worked for trump. Silent Type Sep 30 #50

Your hope will be fulfilled. We don't run on retribution. We will run on restoring the economy & rule of law. nt SunSeeker Sep 30 #54
