Romney signals he's open to bipartisan background check bill
The Hill ^ | 09/09/19 | Jordain Carney

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said Monday that he believes all commercial gun sales should be subject to a background check and signaled he's open to supporting bipartisan legislation from Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.).

"It certainly should be applied to commercial sales and finding a more comprehensive way to make sure that people are in the system that ought to be in the system," Romney told reporters when asked about expanding background checks.

Asked if he would support legislation from Manchin and Toomey, which would expand gun background checks to all commercial sales, Romney said he had spoken with Toomey and was reviewing the bill.

"I'm looking at that. ... Directionally, that is something I would support, but I have not read the legislation. That is something I would have to look at before I signed on," Romney added.

Mitt Romney got less votes that John McCain, who also lost. Without checking, I will say that he had less votes that Bob Dole as well, unless Candy Crowley wants to come to his rescue...

Big deal. You still need 60 and that’s assuming McConnell will even bring it to the floor.

Agree completely.   Romney is the one oozing with evil (as was Ryan), and in their bitter, irrational hatred of Trump, they attempt and actually do things which ultimately will harm America.
