Tired of all this WINNING yet? – The S&P 500 closed at a new record high on Wednesday, as the Dow Jones Industrial average surged by 483 points, and the NASDAQ also recorded significant gains. The markets were buoyed by the acquittal of President Donald Trump by the Senate along with positive indications of progress in developing a vaccine for the Coronavirus. The WINNING is glorious.
In other news, Mitt Romney is still a LOOOOOOOOOOOSER. – The junior Senator from Utah finally managed to secure a place in history, albeit alongside fellow American loooooooosers like Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr, becoming the only Senator in the long history of our nation to vote in favor of removing a president from his own political party.
After telling the execrable Chris Wallace in an interview – that Romney himself requested, think about that – that he would vote ‘yes’ on both articles of impeachment, Romney then went out and delivered a speech, complete with fake tears, on the Senate floor, blaming his idiotic decision on his religion. The gutless hypocrite then tried to have things both ways, actually splitting his vote, voting ‘yes’ on Article 1, but ‘no’ on Article 2.
What a buffoon. What a gutless, mendacious looooooooser this guy is.
Hilariously, within moments after the impeachment trial had finally, blessedly adjourned, the Trump campaign issued an ad that it had already created in anticipation of the Romney betrayal. Check this out:

Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Embedded video 115K 5:45 PM - Feb 5, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 56.4K people are talking about this The ad, of course, was met with much tsk-tsking and pearl clutching from the two dozen nitwits who remain in the #NeverTrump faction of the GOP, to whom Romney remains a looooooooser hero for his actively tanking the 2012 election against Barack Obama His Own Self. But nobody cared, least of all President Trump, who also sent the corrupt media mavens into howls of outrage by tweeting out this gem a little later:

In the end, all the loooooooooser Romney could accomplish was to hand the Democrats and their corrupt media toadies a talking point that will last a day or two. The inept creep is so ineffective at influencing his colleagues that he wasn’t even able to bring fellow RINOs like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski along with him into the annals of traitorous infamy.
Romney believes he is safe from the voters back home despite his mendacity, since he doesn’t have to face them again until 2024. But voters – especially those of the conservative stripe – tend to have long memories about the special kind of deceit Romney practiced in getting elected to his senate office in 2018. Remember, Romney ran as “an extreme conservative,” and promised voters he would strongly support the President’s goals. Remember, too, that Romney repeatedly sought a high position in the incoming Trump Administration, and made many public statements filled with glowing praise about the President at that time and during his campaign.
But hey, Romney’s probably going to be running for the presidency in 2024 – that’s what this vote was really all about. He’s just positioning himself as the titular leader for an anti-Trump rebellion within the GOP as the Trump second term winds down. That’s another looooooooser of a proposition, but Mitt loves loooooooosing.
Romney bragged to Wallace that he has “voted with the President 80% of the time.” But that percentage would actually place him among the most disloyal members of the senate Republican caucus. Hell, simply voting to confirm all the federal judges and senior political appointees whose confirmations have come before the Senate would get a Republican within range of the 80% mark.
If he was truly voting his “conscience” as a “deeply religious man,” surely Romney must do the same where appointments to the federal judiciary are concerned, right? Yet, of the dozens of appointees to the courts that have been confirmed by the Senate since Romney showed up, his “conscience” has managed not to find a reason to oppose a single one of them.
But those were quiet votes, away from the glare of the lights that accompany the TV cameras. It seems Romney’s religion and “conscience” only manage to engage when they tell him that voting against the President will grab him hour upon hour of favorable coverage from all the corrupt media Democrat toadies who defamed him during his 2012 run and who hate his guts every other day of the year. That’s a special kind of religion and “conscience” Mendacious Mitt has going for him there.
A political party with any pride and backbone would expel Romney today. But we’re talking about the Republicans here.
That is all.
How terrified is that dog? Wow.
Does the POS sit on any committees?
Probably as terrified as that mutt on Chevy Chase’s vacation movie being dragged to death behind the station wagon.
Ritt Momsey and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.....God made me vote to impeach President Trump?
Judas, Pierre Delecto, ashhaole, call him what you will, but Romney will have to switch parties or disappear from politics.
President Trump is doing the work of Divine Providence, not Mitt Romney.
He wants his MSNBC gig.
Unfortunately, The Salt Lake Tribune is calling Mittens a hero.
Benedict romney’s statement on his impeachment vote should not have made any reference to God. There is no HATRED in GOD, while HATRED is the essence of mitt romney!
Like McConnell said last night, he will needs Mitten’s votes in the future. He does help confirm Trump’s judges. If we really want to take retribution against Romney, just ignore him. Romney has no conscience to vote, he’s just a media whore. Ignore him until 2024, then deal with his traitorous ass.
“Romney may very well be safe back home because of the Mormon vote that does not like Trump’s personal life.”
How about Romney back-stabbing and smearing someone who whole-heartededly supported him financially and endorsed him when he ran for President? How about lying to your constituents and saying you will support the President? That behavior is a huge picture into Romney’s “personal life”.
Which God? The Mormon pantheon has many, one for every inhabited solar system.

Mitt is about as good of a Mormon as John C. Bennett and William Law were.
It’s laudable that Romney is guided by his conscience.
He needs to explain what evidence made his conscience tell him that Trump committed an impeachable offense.
Milt likes Delicious Peter.
Grandpa used to put them dogs in the trunk.
Romney just infuriated the 62 million voters he will be wooing in 2024. Good strategy loser!
As of recent there were two sore losers.
Nazi Pelosi demonstrated this by tearing up the SOU doc.
Myth Romney went against the grain with his vote.
I have more respect for Pelosi, for she is a loyalist to her party.
Myth is a traitor, standing out as the only one that voted against the Prez.
I recall when this jackass was running for Prez and there were arguments here on FR as to why no one here should vote for him, as he was no different than obama.
That argument was all wrong. He is different than obama. obama is loyal to his party, Myth is not.
And to think I was duped into voting for this traitor.
Actually it is only the 3.3 million Utah residents that matter and that isn’t for four years.
I didn't endorse Romney, I was trying to explain the irrational behavior of the Mormon community when it comes to politics.
Romney was born in Michigan. His father was governor of Michigan. Romney was Governor of Massachusetts. The only time Romney spent in Utah was when he attended Brigham Young University.
Yet because he is Mormon, Utah has and will continue to embrace him.
