While this is Politico so all their stories can be taken with a grain of salt, Romney always has had a political tin ear.

“Romney always has had a political tin ear. “

I don’t think it’s that so much as Romney has never NEEDED the good will of anyone. Therefore he has no idea how to act to secure good will. But the Senate is very much about building relationships and good will. I read that LBJ had a regular routine of calling all the Congressmen. He had somebody keep track of what they spoke about so he could reference it and make them feel like he really remembered them, their wife’s name and their kid’s problems. Say what you will about that lousy snake, he was very effective at getting what he wanted, even from the opposition. Romney is not doing Utah any favors by being..,well, Romney.

“It kind of felt like the same thing Trump does to everybody, Romney does to Trump. Smack you, and then want to negotiate,” said Lankford

...

Not even close. Trump hits back twice as hard. He doesn’t hit first.

Romney is a slightly animated Ken Doll and acts like a well-lubricated weather vane.

Romney’s act was nothing but immature attention seeking.

Thanks Utah for giving the rest of us the second coming of Jeff Flake.

The floor does not recognize the JUNIOR senator from Utah.

While the man may have made himself a laughing stock, unfortunately for the GOP it is a long long line.

He’s a freshman with no seniority. Hope he learns that soon

Romney is a corporate liberal.

Romney IS the carpetbagger-backstabber.

Greg Gutfeld had an interesting segment about Romney on Saturday’s show. I think it was Larry Gatlin, his guest, who said that Romney has never been told “No” before. He has recently and he doesn’t know how to react, so just acts like a little baby.

People say he’s “politically tone deaf”. I just think he’s tone deaf overall. Socially tone deaf, definitely. He says the wrong thing almost every time in every situation. His money can’t buy him a filter for his mouth.

He’s at it again here:

IMHO Romney is disgracing the Church of LDS with his pro-illegal alien stance.

Contact them and tell them to rein him in or they can suffer the disgrace of being connected to a traitor.
