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.

He rose to the top. He’s president, you’re not, Romney.

To be fair - Mittens rose to the top, too - but only because he wouldn't flush.

In "locker room talk", we call him a "floater"... ;-)

There are a number of “identity groups” that I will not vote for. Mormons are one of those groups. Nice people. Good neighbors. But they seem to oppose anything or anyone who is not of their LDS church.

Romney will take the place of Jeff Flake as the Head Trump Hater in the Senate. Mormons are not interested in the advance of American Liberty above all.

He rose a hell of a lot higher than you did, Mitt.

They didn't hold the handle down long enough on this piece of Mitt, which is why he floated instead of ending up where he belongs.

That’s it Mitt, pretend to be classy while you help destroy your country. Attack Trump but not Pelosi. You are a pure scumbag.

Oh God’
Right on cue, the next Jeff Flake opens his mouth to spew out Garbage. What is it with failed GOP presidential candidates like Romney and McCain anyways? They are jealous and bitter because they failed after multiple attempts and Trump just won on his first try?

How would Romney know.

Sour grapes combined with RINO hubris and animosity.

McRomney is laying the groundwork for becoming the new McStain, he thinks he’s relevant but he’s just a loser.

Ya gotta learn to lighten up Mitt. You’ll never get anything done in your life if you continue to allow yourself to be ruled by TDS.

Mr. Romney, President Trump has a winning style.

Accept this and you will be happy.

Reject it and be miserable.

Jeff Flake’s brother from another mother.

Jeff was the old "Mormon Barbie" with The Nice Hair Registered.

The Piece Of Mitt has now assumed the mantle of "Mormon Barbie".
