Sunday on CNNs State of the Union, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he did not believe President Donald Trumps actions as laid out in special counsel Robert Muellers report rise to the level of impeachment, but the president does not exhibit the best qualities of human character.
Host Jake Tapper asked if Trump has disgraced the office of the president.
Romney said, I think a number of things were unfortunate and distressing. Clearly the number of times there were items of dishonesty, misleading the American public and media are things you would not be want to see from the highest office in the land.
He continued, Abuse of power is at a whole other level, which suggests impeachment. I think in part one of the things its difficult in order to make a case for obstruction of justice or impeachment, not an underlying crime, I think its difficult to put together an effective case to prosecute for those crimes.
He added, Ive made it clear I will support the president on policies where we agree. Ill disagree with him openly if theres something I think is wrong for the country or for my state. But I think he could substantially improve his game when it comes to helping shape the character of the country. I think young people, as well as people around the world, look at the president of the United States and say, does he exhibit the kind of qualities we would want to emulate? And those are qualities of humility, of honesty, integrity, and those are things where I think theres been some call where the president has distanced himself from some of the best qualities of the human character.

The same POS who couldnt even beat The Worst President EVER
He was all too eager to get a job in Trumps administration
Obviously, he was only eager to join the Trump admin to undermine it from within.
Romney never had any of them.
I could not agree more. The GOP is soulless, unprincipled party totally devoid of any convictions. They pretend to be conservative before every election cycle and then revert right back to the dissembling scoundrels they are.
I’ve heard Rush say exactly the same. Mittens and his ilk have their heads in the sand on this one. Everybody is on to the GOPe run as conservative govern as liberal scam and it’s no longer good enough to simply be “not Democrats.”
Tell Romney to go suck a lemon..thank God that jackass never became President
Ok Mitt Griswald. Tell us again how you take care of your dog on vacation.
Romney actually trying to position himself for the GOP nomination? This guy is really off the rails.
No he’s baiting POTUS into responding to him and starting another intra GOP brawl on the eve of 2020. He clearly wants Trump to lose and thinks that is a good way to depress GOP voter turn out.
Takes a lot of hubris to make an inflammatory attack such as this.
Romney is SO eaten up with jealousy. And I love it for him.
How about this gem: “We’re the people we’ve been waiting for.”
I mean, that’s pretty much the definition of humility, right there.
Screw starting a third party, take the Republican Party back from the worms who bought control of it and put it right back where it was before the establishment types who were left high and dry when the Republican party started in the first place bought it out from under the founders of the party.
Sorry, the GOP is corrupt at its core and not reformable. A party whose elected leaders stand for nothing eventually will be nothing.
Anytime conservatives get close to controlling the party the progressives like Romney simply throw in with the Democrats as they have done with President Trump in the White House and outflank us.
Like McCain, Mitt is miffed that Trump won and he couldn’t.
He is trying to position himself to run for President but he still does not realize President Trump support.
Romney is too much of a coward to ever run again and face voters outside of anyplace he church can’t rig the vote.
He’s just trying to undermine POTUS and depress GOP turnout enough that he loses in 2020. But he doesn’t want GOPe fingerprints on a Trump loss. So expect more of these virtue signalling attacks on POTUS in the run up to 2020.
Well since he believes in golden plates and all .....
May I ask has Mitty conformed to those virtues?
lol Is there a more out of touch Politician than Mitt Romney? The only reason he ran was because he thought Trump would be impeached. He is a total loser and is reminded of it everyday. We will never go back to these corrupt idiots.
Easy now...I underwent a colonoscopy yesterday.
Oh please, will Joseph Smith or someone give this turd a catastrophic heart valve failure or something?
Trump seriously wounded the GOP on 11/8/16, and is on the brink of killing it, something I cheer on every day!
