True Conservative and NeverTrump Model of What a Real Republican Looks Like Mitt Romney: Let's Pass a Carbon Tax to Stop All This Deadly Global Warming

Hey, remember a few weeks back when I noted the new trend in Fake Republicanism, such as the kind practiced by Frank Luntz and David French, was to start talking up carbon taxes and leftist environmentalist dogma?

Well, here's your Third Time Proves the Rule.

From KUTV:

U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney said Monday that he believes climate change is happening and human activity is a significant contributor.

During a speech at the conservative Sutherland Institute in Salt Lake City, the senator acknowledged that the position is rare among his fellow Republicans, but one that younger people seem to respond to more strongly than older conservatives.

"In some respects, (by speaking with newer conservatives), I'll be able to make inroads with some of the young people coming along," he said...

...

Romney discussed the benefits of a carbon tax, a fee based on each ton of carbon dioxide emissions produced by fossil fuels that some major oil companies have adopted.

So bets, please: How long until the majority of NeverTrump gets behind this, all the while claiming that they're sticking with Eternal Conservative Principle while "grifters" adapt their positions to match Trump's?

Thanks to Deep State is Deep Shit.
