Mitt Romney earned some respect in my eyes.
The man was the worst of the worst in business, he pretty much popularized Vulture Capitalism with Bain Capital.
And while he was a GOP politician expressing plenty of political positions I don't agree with, setup social healthcare in his state, was the only one to vote to Impeach Trump and before J6, he messaged Mitch McConnel telling him he was concerned with what he heard the far right element was planning for J6 on social media and hoped that Mitch was doing something about it, BECAUSE HE WAS CONCERNED TRUMP WOULDN'T AND WOULD INSTEAD SPUR THEM ON.
While his politics weren't my thing, he did do his best to stand on the side of good and decent, in a party where those are entirely alien concepts.
