Utah Senator Mitt Romney Thread

[Commando]

At the point where the dems present a reasonable alternative? Nominate Bloomberg and I'll vote democrat for the first time in my life.

Look- right now we have a president whose every word in public is an insult to my intelligence. Even if I think Bernie's programs would spell doom, he's not an authoritarian and won't attempt to use every trick in the book hump the public into submission like Trump does, back-channeling new laws and policies into place unilaterally the way he's done every day. It's going to take years to untangle the cluster he's created with asylum policy-- the only solution at this point is for the legislature to wipe the slate clean, and they aren't doing anything with him at the helm.

I would like the president to stay out of the news and not be an overt predator toward vulnerable groups. If Bloomberg gets the nom I'll most certainly vote for him, too.

Ron Johnson is an idiot. I met him one time and figured that out.

Romney may vote against Trump again — this time with some bite

If the whole effort was meant to punish Romney for his apostasy or dissuade him from further acts of disobedience, it doesn’t appear to have worked terribly well. Trump has had great success in keeping the GOP troops in line, but not so much with Romney. Even though polling showed a strong majority of Utahns opposed Trump’s impeachment, reactions to Romney’s vote were more positive than negative. The same poll showed 60 percent of Utah Republicans disapproved of the decision, but that’s far less blowback than we’ve seen with other Republicans who have earned Trump’s very public ire.

The flip side of going to war with Romney, of course, is that it might not work. And in a closely divided Senate, sometimes you need that vote. Wednesday could drive that home, if Romney votes like he seems to be inclined. (He hasn’t committed yet, instead saying he would review the available information.) And to the extent Romney continues to delegitimize the Hunter Biden attacks, that’s an arrow in the Democrats’ quiver too.

And the numbers haven't really changed much in the past year.

I dont want Trump to die or even get infected. But he must be freaking out, as he is a well known germaphobe.
