Romney assails Trump in New Year's op-ed: 'The president has not risen to the mantle of the office'
Washington Times ^ | January 1, 2019 | Victor Morton

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.

Doesn't Hairdo have a family dog to kill or something? He's like McCain -- okay for Demwits to like, because he's a RINO and loser.

What’s the chances the Mormons can tell the difference between a Mormon and a ‘MORON”?

How the hell would Mitt Romney know?

He was picked to fail and overachieved.

Also, who is his demographic with this statement?

Rinos have been outed a while Mitt, good luck.

Romney certainly has the smirk down pat like Comey. I noticed how so many of their circle (DS) has that same stupid smirk. WISH SOMETHING would remove it permanently from them.

My tag line has been the same since the election. Romney is a total pussy bitch. Mormons suck big donkey dongs. Feel free to PM me if you disagree. Before you do be prepared to defend Harry reed, Jeff Flake, Orrin Hatch and now Mitt Romney. You will be known by your fruit.

Romney lacks the courage & character to be loyal. Only Democrats & Rinos will fawn over him.

He will not ever have the respect or love of the people.

I have come to understand that Mormons are not the likable family oriented Christians that I gave them credit for.

“We are against Romney, not all Mormons.”

It's the “blame game. People are frustrated, and the weaker-minded ones resort to these kinds of mass mis-characterizations because they are frustrated. Romney, Flake, to some extent Hatch, did not showcase their faith very well. That should not be a blanket indictment of all Mormons. From a doctrinal perspective, I don't know how Romney keeps his membership, but I suspect because his father was a senior church official, it's like McCain and his father getting him a pass that would have gotten a lesser individual kicked out. Then you can look over at the Catholics and wonder how Pelosi says in good standing. Churches are “businesses!” They need money and power, so these people who can give them both get “special dispensations.” It's why I took a pass on all of it a half century ago. I don't need someone who is no better than me, and maybe not as good, telling me that they can “help me to be better” with the right amount of money and penitent attitude!
