The plan, George Romney wrote in a confidential memo to aides, was to use his power as secretary of Housing and Urban Development to remake America's housing patterns, which he described as a “high-income white noose” around the black inner city.

The 1968 Fair Housing Act, passed months earlier in the tumultuous aftermath of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, directed the government to “affirmatively further” fair housing. Romney believed those words gave him the authority to pressure predominantly white communities to build more affordable housing and end discriminatory zoning practices.

Romney ordered HUD officials to reject applications for water, sewer and highway projects from cities and states where local policies fostered segregated housing.

He dubbed his initiative “Open Communities” and did not clear it with the White House. As word spread that HUD was turning down grants, Nixon's supporters in the South and in white Northern suburbs took their complaints directly to the president.

Nixon intervened immediately.

“Stop this one,” Nixon scrawled in a note on a memo written by John Ehrlichman, his domestic policy chief.

In a 1972 “eyes only” memo to Ehrlichman and H.R. Haldeman, another aide, Nixon explained his position. “I am convinced that while legal segregation is totally wrong that forced integration of housing or education is just as wrong,” he wrote.

The president understood the consequences: “I realize that this position will lead us to a situation in which blacks will continue to live for the most part in black neighborhoods and where there will be predominately black schools and predominately white schools.”

Romney, the former governor of Michigan and father of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, held his ground. Notations and memos in his private papers show that he viewed the blighted black ghettos as a root cause of the inner-city riots of the 1960s. “Equal opportunity for all Americans in education and housing is essential if we are going to keep our nation from being torn apart,” he wrote in talking points he drew up for a meeting with the president.

Romney’s stance made him a pariah within the administration. Nixon shut down the program, refused to meet with his housing secretary and finally drove him from the Cabinet.

And then the patented Trump/Joke smile.



In fact none of these Republicans who stood by while Trump did damage should be elected

The era of Romney/Bush/McCain/etc republicans winning the nomination are over, at least in the short term. The party has been completely taken over by Trump types who no longer want to hide the racist/nationalism/etc behind "common sense conservatism."

You can't win the republican nomination without the south, just as you can't win the democrat nomination without the south. Both areas include "core" voter groups for both parties. Nominees have often ran to the right in the south, in order to win. It's why Bush's team claimed McCain had a black baby out of wedlock during the South Carolina primary. That shyt works. But now? It works times 100. It's gonna be full blown fukkery and anti-immigrant, anti-black bullshyt. And then when you get into the midwest and other parts of the country there won't be any "hey I'm a moderate republican who just wants to lower your taxes" pivot. They're gonna be fighting over Trump voters in every primary state from the south to the midwest.

Romney isn't gonna beat Tom Cotton, Pompeo, Pence, etc at that game. He's gonna get clowned.

The GOP will never go back to moderates thanks to them getting a taste of Fascism from Trump. Its like when someone takes a hit of cocaine for the first time.......They never go back to normal.
