Many of us voted for Romney in 2012. He was our choice, against Obama.
But Romney blew it in his final debate with Obama.
It looked to many of us like he 'threw' the debate to Obama.
It was a very bad debate for Romney.
And he didn't win the election.

Romney is retiring. He's done now.
Romney should have stood his ground. Could Obama have intimidated him, or threatened him? It is sad that Romney is retiring, he would have been a good guy.

It does seem possible that someone did. It is not normal for a candidate to throw in the towel during a debate, especially a guy like Romney back in 2012 at the prime of his political career.

They said he drove with his dog on top of his car and someone recorded him at a private gathering saying that there were 40% (or something like that) that he just wrote off because they weren't voting for him

Umm, Biden does not have much integrity either. If he did, instead of spending $60B in Ukraine, we would spend $30B in Ukraine, and use the other remaining $30B to help millions of Americans citizens or Veterans who are poor or homeless.

Why the false choice?
And how is Biden supporting Ukraine a lack of integrity?

Right - if he was garnering votes - which he is not - if he was registering voters - which he is not.

Exactly.

Why is Musk doing it - the man is 100% about gathering data - think about the information gathered. That is his motivation IMHO. and what is 15 mil to him?

You may be right. However, I will await the findings of the PA AG.

I'll have to assume Musk has no legal team to tell him the supposed danger he's putting himself in. And that the guy who's revolutionized rocket science is that stupid.

i'm sure he does....whether he listens to the legal advice is another matter. Even the smartest people let their own ego's get in the way of good legal advice.

The law stated in your OP applies to someone garnering votes and registering voters, neither of which applies to Musk.

Cos he could help our own citizens out. We can still support Ukraine, but $60B is a little much. Even if Biden spent $40B on helping Ukrainians, the other $20B could be used to help struggling Americans survive. We spend too much money fighting foreign wars. Our military does not need an $800B budget. If we could cut even just $200B out of the military budget, that would be nice.

What is amusing is that the Dems call Trump fascist, Nazi, racist, mysoginist, orange and now senile. He has been called all sorts of names. His followers are called "deplorables"
And Trump is bad for name calling? I have lost track of the names he has been called.
I can only assume this post was supposed to be in a different thread, because it has nothing to do with a GOP supporter paying people to register to vote.

There is an opinion that Ukraine itself is to blame for the attack. In my opinion, this is blaming the victim.
And spreading Russian propaganda, of course.

But still seems a bit off topic given the discussion is about whether or not Musk's actions count as election interference.

In general, I agree that we spend too much on military....over the past decades. However, in Ukraine's case, $60 Billion is a bargain when you consider that if Ukraine doesn't stop Putin, NATO eventually will have to....

Bro, we are done here. If we want to stop Putin, we should have hackers hack the Kremlin instead.

Is Elon Musk doing something illegal?
Very probably. We have laws, still, concerning paying people to register and vote, against exceeding contributions to campaigns and against PACs coordinating with campaigns.

Why does it look like you have a problem with Elon Musk?
That is a question you should be able to answer. All I can tell you is why I do have a problem with him. I have a problem with his free speech hypocrisy, with his Scam Bro grifting and with his evident disdain for people’s lives.

I don’t believe for a moment that his support for the senile candidate is anything other than grasping for power and even more wealth.

I’m sure we do, not “instead”, but as a part of our general strategy. Why would you imagine that we are not?

Well, if we spent maybe a few billion dollars on hacking the Kremlin, we could try to stop them. At this point, we have gotten into too many foreign wars. Be glad I am not a diplomat, cos I would make a rash decision.

My parents and I just want a Republican or candidate who has good manners, and spreads less divisiveness.

Sadly, that faction of the GOP has been driven out of the MAGA party. They are disparaged as “RINOs”, establishment Republicans, etc. They are denied party funding and committee assignments.

But yes, we all do not stand for the woke stuff. :) Well hey, if Trump is in office, it should just be another four years, and then I can vote 3rd party if things goes well. Trump is getting old though, and will be 80 in 2026. We need someone younger to run. Maybe Vance might take over halfway through Trump's second term if Trump wins.
Halfway? It won’t take that long. Donald is seriously declining, especially cognitively.

Yeah, probably a year. It is a shame that the modern GOP calls Romney a RINO. :(

That is why my parents are done with the GOP until they go back to their more moderate roots.

I think a year is optimistic. He is not currently fit to meet with other heads of state. Domestically, he can still function as the face of the administration while others do the actual administering - it’s not as if he has any actual interest in governing. He loves the audience (and staying out of prison).
