Days before he officially becomes a U.S. senator, Mitt Romney took to the Washington Post to fire a shot across President Trump’s bow, saying Mr. Trump had made a “deep descent” in December and is hurting the national character.
In an op-ed column published online Tuesday evening, Mr. Romney, now a Republican senator-elect for Utah, came down hardest on recent moves in foreign policy and Cabinet positions related to that.
“After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not. When he won the election, I hoped he would rise to the occasion. His early appointments of Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions, Nikki Haley, Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, Kelly and Mattis were encouraging. But, on balance, his conduct over the past two years, particularly his actions this month, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office,” he wrote.

“Romney assails Trump in New Year’s op-ed: ‘The president has not risen to the mantle of the office’”
McCain, Corker, and Flake all rolled into one.
Even before he’s sworn in. What hubris for a guy who lost
Another dirtbag I had to stand in line and pull a lever for like Juan McCain because I knew what Obama was.
How are those Mom jeans, Mitt?
“He only ran in Utah because he could never get elected in Massachusetts.”
He did once before and he’s a big enough turd that he could probably win in chewshits once again.
STFU Soyboy. You haven’t even taken office and I’m already sick of your crap.
I’ve had a bad feeling about this cuck from the second he ran for Utah senator.
It won’t endear him to the GOP base. We don’t like you attacking the President.
Mitt is finished.
George H.W. Bush Jan 1989: 5.4% Jan 1993: 7.3% George W. Bush Jan 2001: 4.2% Jan 2009: 7.8% Donald J. Trump Jan 2017: 4.8% Nov 2018: 3.7%
This is the loser who started nobama care in massachusetts . Once a jerk always a jerk. His arrogance is beyond the pall.
It’s quite apparent somebody needs to jamb a finger in this asshat’s chest, and speak into his face some sense, ‘cause he hasn’t any.
excuse my language folks but Romney...STHU..okay, I meant another word....
I wish this loser would shut up. I wish his dog had driven & Romney had road the roof.
trump decided to live and let live with Romney. Now we have this.
“..but obviously there is something seriously, seriously wrong with people who constantly send the most backstabbing traitors possible to represent them, decade after decade after decade.”
You noticed.
Romney is going nowhere in a primary he plans to undermine Trump and help get him impeached. But he’ll destroy the GOP. People won’t support such a dysfunctional party.
Mittens is running in 2020.
I think I’m gonna hurl.
sour grapes
I don’t think Tillerson is a “dumbass”. But he and Trump had different views and apparently rubbed each other the wrong way.
Have to remember that Trump is used to running his show HIS WAY - so we could have expected there would be bumps in the road. I don’t care that he doesn’t get alone with everyone in DC - seems like that should be a positive, not a negative.
Despite the occasional moments that make me wince I support Trump - to me the best POTUS in my lifetime.

I guarantee, this is not what he ran on in Utah. Now that he is in, he thinks it is safe to come out of the closet as a full-bore RINO.
With Romney’s radical leftist track record as governor of Massachusetts, any serious Mormon who voted for this @sshole is a complete fraud.
