GOP senators frustrated with Romney jabs at Trump
The Hill ^ | October 24, 2019 | Alexander Bolton

Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) public battles with President Trump are taking a toll on his relationship with fellow GOP senators, with many resenting the implication that they’re afraid of standing up to the president.

Romney has replaced retired Sens. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) as the go-to senator for voicing dissension within the Senate GOP ranks when Trump finds himself in hot water.

That distinction has made Romney one of the most high-profile freshman Republican senators in recent years, but it has also fueled grumbling among his colleagues.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), one of Trump’s biggest defenders, told The Hill he’s frustrated with Romney’s regular critiques of Trump and suggested his colleague might have unresolved feelings about failing to defeat former President Obama in the 2012 presidential campaign.

“Because one election didn’t turn out the way that Mitt wanted it to turn out,” Inhofe said Wednesday, “he’s critical of the president.”

“So, I’m not pleased with it,” he added.

I’d bet my house the “Republican source” in the story is Romney himself.

This is an easy fix if the GOP-e leadership would lead.
The Base (again) told the GOP-e that Mitt was going to be another turncoat.
Like usual, The Base was ignored and we ended up with another RINO representing a Red State.

Pierre Delecto needs to come out of the closet and just admit he’s a Democrat.

Even for Romney the elitism here is breathtaking. It’s not the establishment who determine the future of the party. It’s the voters!

In their heart of hearts they truly do NOT believe this. We proved it to be so in 2016 and their brains just could not compute. They rejected on delivery. We need to keep illustrating the point.

He’s a junior senator. Set up his office in the men’s room and pull all his committee assignments.

No, I believe the LDS church did that.

“Pierre Delecto needs to come out of the closet and just admit he’s a Democrat.”

PeDo’s handlers figure he can do more damage to America as a “Republican”.

I'm no mental health expert and I figured that out.
