That was before he voted to convict Trump, twice.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post
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.

Mike Lee is proof that quality of character in undervalued in UT GOP primaries.Originally posted by All-American View Post
I don't think his seat is that safe. He would beat any Democrats, sure, but Republican primaries are a funny thing and he is absolutely vulnerable to a MAGA challenger.

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."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

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

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."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

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.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

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.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

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."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"
