During Trump's presidential bid in 2016, Mitt Romney made a huge splash by delivering a blistering speech condemning Trump's candidacy. This election cycle he has announced once again that he won't support Trump's reelection bid. This allows some #NeverTrumpers to distance themselves from the President when it's convenient, while still benefiting from being part of the GOP. Choosing to abstain from voting for Trump (Romney said he wrote in his wife's name in 2016) is simply not enough. They understand, more than they are willing to admit, that Trump is a reflection of the modern Republican Party rather than someone who has distorted it.
