Romney IS the carpetbagger-backstabber.

Sen. James Lankford will occasionally take issue with President Donald Trump’s tactics and rhetoric. But he’s not sure what Mitt Romney was thinking with his biting condemnation of the president before he was even sworn into office.
“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, a Republican from Oklahoma. “It is funny to me that while he was complaining about President Trump’s personal attacks, he was personally attacking President Trump. I don’t know if he sees the irony in it.”
When Romney heads into his first Republican Conference meeting later this week, he might face an awkward reception from many of his fellow Republican senators. Some are scratching their heads about why Romney ripped Trump in a Washington Post op-ed; others are angry about reopening an intraparty divide. And it could color how Senate Republicans view Romney over the long term, raising questions about his effectiveness in the GOP conference.
“Focusing on our political opponents that are trying to annihilate us and embarrass the president is probably a more productive focus, rather than just criticize what the president is, how he does things,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the former whip who is running for reelection as a Trump ally.

Romney is a corporate liberal.
>>Has Mittens not got his magic underpants on?<<
It is because of scum like that bast*rd that I refuse to make any contributions to the RNC. He’s just another POS like Paul Ryan, Flake, McCain, and a host of other ‘rats masquerading as Republicans. SPIT!
Romney IS the carpetbagger-backstabber.
I don’t think Mitt wants to stay in the Senate long enough to really chum around. I liked Sundance’s theory that Mitch made him publish it as something of a loyalty oath before giving him a plum seat on the foreign affairs committee.
Sure, Mitt’s there to slow Trump down, but IMO also in order to get the backing to be his main primary challenger in 2020.
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.
