The newly rebellious senator has become an outspoken dissident in Trump’s Republican Party, just in time for the president’s impeachment trial.
Mitt Romney is leaning forward in his chair, his eyes flashing, his voice sharp.
It’s a strange look for the 72-year-old senator, who typically affects a measured, somber tone when discussing Donald Trump’s various moral deficiencies. But after weeks of escalating combat with the president—over Ukraine, and China, and Syria, and impeachment—the gentleman from Utah suddenly appears ready to unload.
What set him off was my recitation of an argument I’ve heard some Republicans deploy lately to excuse Trump’s behavior. Electing a president, the argument goes, is like hiring a plumber—you don’t care about his character, you just want him to get the job done. Sitting in his Senate office, Romney is indignant. “Are you worried that your plumber overcharges you?” he asks. “Are you worried that the plumber’s going to scream at your kids? Are you worried that the plumber is going to squeal out of your driveway?” I am playing devil’s advocate; he is attempting an exorcism.

Mitt for Mitt, he’s a scumbag plain and simple
Missing the barf alert, although one can almost always assume any article from the MSM (recently) regarding Mittens will be hurl worthy. Romney once again shows his colors- paint him day-glow socialist with strong tints of narcissist.
Just another snake.
Wow....eight years of bammy and not a peep. All of a sudden mitten’s has “found his voice”.
The Never Trump contingent is getting more shrill and intemperant daily. I put it down to their increasing irrelevance and the slowly dawning realization that they are on the wrong side of history.
I just can’t take the guy seriously.
Does the MSM ever do fawning puff pieces on Democrats who do not toe the party line? Do they call them “liberated”, or “turncoats”?
If the Democrats get within one seat of a majority, fully expect Mittens to declare “independence” and vote a Democrat as leader of the Senate.
modern day arlen specter
Senator Delecto
I wonder if his nick name is Jack (Mormon) He is a slime bag. I almost had to drag myself to the polls to vote for that sorry, that sorry.........I can’t say what I really think. 😁
More of a slave to sin than liberated.
And just read what the same stupid publication said about him in 2012.
Think it was the same?
Nope, they all praise George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney today. Of course in 2006-2012... not so much.
It occurs to me that the nickname “Mitt” is just as inappropriate for a grown man as the nickname “Beto”. We need a nickname for Mr. Romney that better reflects him.
Yes Mitt, I am worried my plumber will “squeal out” in my driveway. Dork would know about squealing.
Grotesquely self righteous prick.
