Mitt is 'sickened'

Sickened? Seriously, Mitt Romney is 'sickened'?

The failed former presidential candidate and longtime critic of President Trump would like us to know how displeased he is with President Trump again, this time telling us he's "sickened" by President Trump's private behavior described in the Mueller report. According to the Daily Mail:

Republican Senator Mitt Romney said Friday that he was 'sickened' and 'appalled' by what Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report revealed about President Donald Trump and his aides.

While most Republicans declined to comment on the explosive report, he chastised the GOP president and senior White House officials caught misleading the public.

'I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the president,' Romney said in a Twitter statement.

So there he went, looking for the minutia of the report, zeroing in on an errant statement here or there from a presidential spokewoman (as if no presidential spokesperson has ever 'misspoken' in the past, and none would dream of doing during a past Democratic administration).

He ought to be 'sickened' by the Mueller report itself. And the disgusting spectacle of how the Special Counsel's investigation was pretexted from the work of politically motivated Democratic operatives, who not only sought to prevent candidate Donald Trump's election, but also sought to topple him from power after he was elected president. Their phony 'Steele dossier' — created by Russians, no less — is what led to the corrupted pre-Mueller investigations of the Trump administration, leading to the Special Counsel's appointment. These activities involved unprecedented and seemingly illegal spying on a presidential candidate in unprecedented corruption. The president was guilty of nothing but losing his temper and using the F-word once, according to the report.

Oh, he isnt sick. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
Much the same as Benedict Arnold delivering the plans for West Point to John Andre.

Or Vidkun Quisling helping betray his own people to the Nazis.

No, he knows exactly where his loyalties lie. And they’re not with Americans who are trying to take this country back.

What behavior is that, that has so seriously “sickened” Mitt Romney?

Now, I want to believe in and trust Mitt Romney, really I do, but he keeps going off on these tangents, whether it be of some kind of petty jealousy or just perversity, where he tears into the President for what seem to be trivial reasons, then acts so surprised when he gets blow-back.

In his own eyes, I am sure Mitt thinks of himself as a pretty good fellow, but honestly, he can be socially extremely awkward, and he manages to bring down some pretty blistering commentary upon himself.

Like the air cadet on his first solo flight, the instructor has to shout over the radio, “Straighten up and fly right!”

Mitt can still redeem himself, but he has to get over this ego problem first.
