Hello ThatOwlWoman,
Yeah, isn't that one of those juvenile debate tactics?
"You should believe me because I have thus and such qualifications."
As if to say: "No need to verify it."
When really, everyone should analyze everything they hear and cross-check it with as many known credible sources as possible before they feel comfortable believing it.

Unfortunately most RWers blindly accept whatever they're fed on their chosen media and seldom question it. Some LWers do as well, but not to the extent that those on the RW do.* Therefore, Reichwingers believe that everyone else is just as gullible and easily conned as they are.
* Which explains why Reichwing talk radio is far more popular than LW.

In a remarkable coincidence, conservatives like to believe liars...

No, liberals for the most part have neither loved or hated Romney. They opposed him as they would any opponent to their candidate for President but have respected his moderation and, since Trump tarnished the scene, his courage in standing by values of common decency in a party that now largely spurns those values.
