On the one hand, we cats need to thank Willard Mitt Romney for handing Democrats a great 2018 campaign ad today. What could drive more of us to the polls more effectively than a prediction that we're in for six more years of Donald Drumpf? (Mia Love, who has a tough re-election fight in her Utah Congressional district, must be furious.)
But Willard is still just a disgusting piece of you-know-what. His behavior lately has reminded us how spot-on we were in 2012 to despise him as a phony and a knave. Even when he was declaring back then that it was Russia that posed the greatest threat to the national security of the United States.
Turns out he was right about that. But we hesitate to give him any credit — because of his silence now.
Drumpf has just announced that he thinks his good buddy Vlad Putin should be let back into the G7. Mind you, the Western democracies kicked Russia out after its annexation of Crimea in 2014. But that doesn't matter to Drumpf: Putin has something on him that makes him do Russia's bidding.
And from the Republicans? Not a peep — not even from Willard.
It is very, very bad for the United States to be isolated from its allies, and very, very good for Russia to have us fighting with them. How fast is Ronald Reagan spinning in his grave? (And how quickly will Drumpf invite the Russian-born captain of the Washington Capitals and his Stanley Cup-winning teammates to the White House?) Until we hear the GOP and, especially, Willard Mitt Romney, speaking out about this — let's just say it — treason, we cats HISS.
