      Wasn't there similar talk like this in his primary election? I thought there was a worry that the MAGA vote wouldn't turn out for him. I could be wrong though.


      That was before he voted to convict Trump, twice.

        Good point.

              • Romney announcement deserves to be discussed in his thread.

                I am sad he is retiring but I really respect his reasoning. What a great public servant.

                  • This was timed pretty well. An excellent Coppins piece in the Atlantic. Read it for everything; Romney revealing McConnel/Hawley/Cruz et al for the utter cowards they are, reliving the righteous but lonely 2 votes for impeachment, him essentially agreeing that there's no place for him in the GOP and musing with Manchin about starting a third party, and unfortunately his habit of putting ketchup on salmon :

                    https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine...onnell/675306/

                    He has utterly torpedoed any good will he has remaining with the GOP. Maybe with time he'll finally be seen as a politician with integrity, but it might be after he's gone. But he's leaving on his own terms and with a clear conscience. Good for him. I wish him well.

                      With time? Anyone with an ounce of integrity recognizes his statesmanship now. Whether they admit it or not.

                          Right there's the problem. Fewer and fewer of these today.

                            good point. I guess a better way of putting it would be that maybe with time the GOP will publicly see him for what he is.

                              He will be persona non grata in the GOP until the fever of populism breaks in the party. So yeah, probably won't be viewed positively during his lifetime.

                              • Who can blame him? He held out as long as he could, I suppose, but is now going the way of Jeff Flake and Liz Cheney. The highlight of his tenure in the Senate, to me, aside from his Senate-chambers dressing-down of that one fraudulent drag queen who is going to jail, is his ripping Trump a new asshole in prepared remarks during the 2016 campaign. I wish more people would have followed suit. There really is no excuse for being in the GOP now.
