What is creepy? Wearing tennis shoes?

I am a firm believer in free speech but I think Romney is out of line. He has had his chance. It is Trump's turn now. I do not like all Romney's policy ideas but I thought he would be better than Obama. His ideas on who pays what taxes was off the wall. Everybody should pay their fair share. That you provide a job for someone else should not affect your own taxes. You pay taxes on what YOU make.

I feel the same way about all of them. I don't care for Bush but I will give both of them credit for pretty much getting out of the way once they had their turns.

I don't think he tries to be Ron Paul. What is wrong with that? Obviously a lot of people thought Ron Paul was creepy and Rand as well.

Romney is a loser who could have won in 2012.

No one cares what he thinks anymore.

Care or not, he has a right to give his opinion.

Survey USA has it as

Clinton 35%
Trump 35%
Johnson 13%


This is the third poll like this. It seems that Utah might be a battleground this year.

If Gore had taken his home state of Tennessee he would be President. But he failed at even that. But no natter. Hillary won't be winning Utah, Tennessee, or the vast majority of the rest of the USA.
