Nobody allows comments anymore. If they do they require you to use a Disqus account which requires you to register and can be permabanned.

Is there anyone who thinks Mitt Romney isn’t one of the Illuminati/DeepState Infiltrators? He’s the one they bring out of the shadows when they want someone to fulfill their agenda when it’s threatened.
Running kinda dopey today ... just having fun.
You can tell this guy’s an idiot just by his sentence structure and use of big words. Pffft!
Is thebulwark.com on the excerpt required list?
Mitt’s probably writing them a nice check as i’m typing this comment.
Oh, plenty of places still allow for comments. It’s the articles that won’t allow comments that catch my interest.
Why, I thought Lindsey and McConnell were doing a good job filling McCains shoes.
Maybe Gabby Schoenfeld and Ann Coulter are one and the same person.
The Bulwark - “Conservatism Conserved”
That’s almost funny...
L.O.S.E.R.
2012 called and they want their LOSER back.
Romney is a serious threat to our law and ways of life. He and numerous think-alikes, in DC, are dead in the head or true enemies of USConstitution.
I dont see why, the republicans are subverting Trump just fine.
with so much inaccurate inthe first sentence, not much hope anything else in it will be worth reading.
LOL
Bulwark? Well, bull something
We need Romney slit his wrists and do it now.
