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.

Mittens had mischance, and choked.
Trumps approval numbers are higher than any Mittens has seen.

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

Mr. Romney, now a Republican senator-elect for Utah, came down hardest on recent moves in foreign policy and Cabinet positions related to that. The JV team from the GOPe hasn't got anything meaningful that I want to hear.
To: rdl6989
Ah, yes, but he has the position, doesn’t he?
To: rdl6989
There you have it - Mittens is running in 2020.

I thought Flake had left. But, he came back as another person.
Flaky-Romney.
