Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he did not believe President Donald Trump’s actions as laid out in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report rise to the level of impeachment, but the president does not exhibit the “best qualities of human character.”
Host Jake Tapper asked if Trump has “disgraced the office of the president.”
Romney said, “I think a number of things were unfortunate and distressing. Clearly the number of times there were items of dishonesty, misleading the American public and media are things you would not be want to see from the highest office in the land.”
He continued, “Abuse of power is at a whole other level, which suggests impeachment. I think in part one of the things it’s difficult in order to make a case for obstruction of justice or impeachment, not an underlying crime, I think it’s difficult to put together an effective case to prosecute for those crimes.”
He added, “I’ve made it clear I will support the president on policies where we agree. I’ll disagree with him openly if there’s something I think is wrong for the country or for my state. But I think he could substantially improve his game when it comes to helping shape the character of the country. I think young people, as well as people around the world, look at the president of the United States and say, does he exhibit the kind of qualities we would want to emulate? And those are qualities of humility, of honesty, integrity, and those are things where I think there’s been some call where the president has distanced himself from some of the best qualities of the human character.”

Starting with GiGov Lincoln.
Romney will say or do anything to seem relevant. He has absolutely no core principles. He’s a scumbag.
Trump : The most accessible, transparent President of the USA.
The most honest in his reactions and statements, both for the good and the bad, and the most self-restrained to do everything within the law.
A politician with the integrity of a used car salesman like Mitt is not worthy to polish Trump’s golf shoes.
Maybe President Trump should have made Mitt the Ambassador to Somalia or Bumforkistan to get rid of him.
He is going to have his hands filled with other problems. We are in the days of reckoning.
This is war Mitt. You should know that, youplayed your part in the fraud on us citizens in 2012. You want Trump to be a wimp like you. He is not. He stands for this country as did our founders. Not like you being a coward and self-serving greedy person sell out the USA citizens every chance you get as you line your own pockets.
Romney is an idiot, pure and simple.
Trump been the best at following through on his promises of any president I’ve seen. Reagan was good too.
The nice thing about Trump is that he only promised to do Conservative things. He is doing them!
Romney just doesn’t get it.
I remember the movie “Willard” in the ‘70s was about rats. Now that movie reminds me of Romney.
Please God, make Mit stop.
MIT is still angry at Trump for not selecting him for anything, and very jealous Trump got to be POTUS. Green Jello Guy.
