Here's the price Mitt Romney is paying for standing against Trump
NBC News ^ | October 27, 2019 | Adam Edelman and Jonathan Allen

SALT LAKE CITY — One man is an island: Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah.

The 72-year-old former Republican presidential nominee has isolated himself from Republicans in the Senate, in his home state and across the country by occasionally — but strongly — criticizing President Donald Trump, including the president's efforts to enlist the aid of foreign governments to probe a leading political opponent.

"By all appearances, the President's brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling," Romney tweeted earlier this month.

In recent weeks, the senator's acts of rebellion against the commander in chief have been flagrant: from publicly confirming "Pierre Delecto" as the secret identity he used to counter Trump on Twitter to bashing Trump's Syria policy on the Senate floor to positioning himself on the front edge of any move by GOP lawmakers to break away and either censure the president or vote to remove him from office if the House follows through with impeachment.

While that House-side inquiry has put a heat lamp on Republican senators from states where voters aren't thrilled with the president's actions — particularly swing-state lawmakers who are up for re-election in 2020 — Romney's criticism of Trump hasn't prompted those colleagues to follow him into the political no-man's land of finding fault with both the president's conduct and the divisiveness of impeachment.

NBC still promoting the lie that the President was enlisting the aid of a foreign country to get dirt on a political opponent.

I guess, if you tell a lie often enough...

“Once again, the pubbies have failed to control the narrative”

It is impossible for the GOP to control the narrative. If you are expecting that to happen you will always be disappointed. The president just successfully killed one of the world’s worst monsters and the media is trying to reverse the story.

I know of no conservatives who would ever vote for someone named “Pierre Delecto”.

He recruited and ran Egg McMuffin to take votes away from Trump in 2016 to try to hand the election to Hillary.
************************************************************************************

...but McDonald's got smart and found out that ‘Egg McMuffin’ wasn't popular so they took him off the menu...

and as far as Pedro Del what ever that spells: PEDO...that is exactly what he is a PEDO...he is dirt, the dirty, dirty kind of dirt, like old Cabbage Fart and The Bent One, like John McCain (Yes I will say his name) who conspired with Bagdadi, who is not with us anymore, thank you to Our President...

and anyone stupid enough to put a living thing (dog in this case) on top of a moving car doesn't have any brain cells to begin with...is he popular in Utah: NO the only ones that voted for him are the ones that have their ‘magic underwear’ to tight and cutting off circulation to their brain...you figure out which end that is on...

PEDO RAT ROMNEY is done, over, finished and he should leave Utah because we don't like CARPETBAGGERS anymore than we like the Kennedys; Clintons or other POS...

You sure don’t pay attention. “Trump should control the narrative not the GOP”. Trump has controlled the narrative on the right since 2015. Your entire post makes very little sense. If you’re anti Trump just go with bashing him directly, we’re used to seeing trolls here.

Trump is probably costing Romney money. No other reason makes sense, not to me anyway.

Yes, money and power is the motivator. If it isn’t Burisma, it’s something else, such as donor money in the piggy bank from Golden Sacks, the Koch Brother, and Warren All-You-Can-Swindle Buffet.

The republican party needs some sort of litmus test they can give to people like McCain, Ryan, Romney and a way to eject them from the party when they fail said test.

Why doesn’t the dem party have a bunch of DINOs?

Pierre strikes me as the candidate that wants to be President because he wants to be President. He wants to satisfy his bloated gay ego. He’s a cowardly doofus. A product of political nepotism. A carpet bagging, closet democrat, deep-stater with no real brains or balls.

Please GOP, shut this jackass up and beg forgiveness to all Americans having placed us in the position of having to vote for him over an equally horrible choice.

The sooner Delecto switches parties the better off we will all be.

When one has isolated himself from other Republicans in the Senate, the House and the Republicans in his home state, can one really call oneself “Republican.”

When you are isolated from like, 90% of the GOP, you are commonly referred to as being a “democrat.”

Put differently, Tulsi Gabbard is a better Republican than Mitt Romney,

I think those types like the Rino label better. They have more latitude to backstab without consequence.

Pierre Delecto is an island because of his obvious petty jealousy of Trump. It doesn’t matter what Trump does or doesn’t do, Pierre never stops b*tching and moaning.

He also blew himself up with his cowardly ridiculous pseudonym, Pierre Delecto. What a slimey manipulative LOSER.
