WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Mitt Romney reassured supporters today that he would be remaining a faithful member of the Democratic Party.
"The Democratic Party can continue to count on me through thick and thin," said Mr. Romney in a statement. "While Senator Sinema and I have both occasionally voted with Congressional Republicans, I want voters to rest assured that I will never go turncoat like her. I'm staying put."
After Sinema's exit left Senate control in the balance, Democrats rushed to reaffirm Mr. Romney's allegiance. "I knew he would stay true to his progressive roots," said Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. "Obviously, Mr. Romney was going to vote for our bill enshrining the government's redefinition of marriage. The real test was when Mr. Romney helped crush religious liberty by defeating the amendment put forth by his fellow Senator from Utah. That's when I knew Mitt would be a Democrat for life."
Although Mr. Romney's intermittent breaks from party-line votes have earned him a reputation for independence, sources close to Romney do not believe he will ever follow in Sinema's footsteps. "I just don't see it happening. The man's veins run blue," said a high-level staffer on condition of anonymity. "At this point, Romney has staked too much of his persona on destroying the Republican party to really go independent. No one would take it seriously."
At publishing time, Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski had joined Romney in affirming her commitment to stay a Democrat.
The accuracy of this headline cannot be underestimated.
Over estimated. Dang it.
Isn’t it though?
Once again The Bee crosses over into reality.......nowadays it is a fine line after all.
He’s a severe Democrat.
The Bee’s writers really nail it time and again.
hilarious premise!
So true. For some reason, Rommney remains popular in Utah. Isn’t there another Mormon who is conservative??
My guess is that true Mormon conservatives don’t have the political power that the fake ones do.
It never ceases to amaze me how Utah continues to reelect Munt Romney at all

So far Utah has effed up only once electing the used car salesman in 2018 (no offense to used car salesman). They have a chance to redeem themselves in 2024.
LOL
” I want voters to rest assured that I will never go turncoat like her.”
Mutt was on TV complaining about being called out as a traitor in a grocery store. Hey Mutt - thanks for giving us biden. We owe it all to you.
Mitt the Twit is a good example of wht the Republicans can’t get an agenda passed. He like Collins and Murkowski specialize in having hissy fits to stop their progress
Great to hear about Romney. No one needs this clown anywhere.
And a quick 'thanks' to the Bee for helping Musk with Twitter...
Made me chuckle :-)
The voters have a perverse attraction to Romney, bordering on the crazed.
He’s the father of the Romney Cult Craze.
