WASHINGTON Its been one of those spectacle weeks on Capitol Hill, the likes of which history might just stop to recognize, even if Trump-era Washington pauses for nothing...
Mr. Romney is the rare Senate Republican actually the lone Senate Republican until late Thursday who is vocally pushing for witnesses to be called in President Trumps impeachment trial. He is also the only Senate Republican who is seen as a possible vote to convict the president, an added distinction since Mr. Trump got every House Republican to fall in line....
I think this is Senator Romneys moment to shine, said Senator Amy Klobuchar, another Democratic presidential candidate who was in Washington for the impeachment trial. She was referring specifically to Mr. Romneys support for calling witnesses.

Mitt is trying to move the GOP to the left. It’s all in the autopsy report that the GOP produced after Obama wiped the floor with Romney.
He wants open borders for people his church can target for conversion and investment in the mountain west from leftist tech companies so young Mormons can climb the tech corporate ladder.
Romney thinks the best way to do that is defeat POTUS and obstruct the MAGA agenda.

I voted for Romney in 2012, and I’ll admit I was very disappointed when Obama won re-election. However, looking back now I’m so glad he lost, because it set the table for President Trump. Time and time again, Romney has shown himself to be spineless, and he would’ve been the same as President.
Good things come to those who wait.

Whichever way Romney votes he will still be a fascist who hates dogs.

He is corrupt. That is why he is after Trump. He can’t have his and his associates (he ties back to the Bush syndicate) exposed.
Just look at his Godfather Cofer Black, the longtime CIA scum who served on the board of Burisma with Hunter.

Mitt Romney, the NY Slimes favorite Republican, because he didnt bring up Benghazi in his last debate with Obama. Romney will never learn.
The Left is using him, big time.
The media will "prop him and drop him."
Prop him up during the primaries against fellow Republicans, making him think they are completely on his side, then drop him like a hot potato in the general election.
Mitt falls for it, again and again.
And yes, the topic of Benghazi was in the Romney / Obama debate. CNN blatantly helped Obama, and Romney didn't lift a finger to fight back.
That's when Romney lost my support.

“But...folks...keep in mind that the voters in UTAH are standing by, doing zilch to bring this traitor, Romney down like now!!!”
Sadly there’s not much that can be done by the citizens of Utah.
Romney has this seat for at least four more years. There is no recall provision and no other big stick to threaten Romney with. The only real option they have is to raise hell with his congressional office and confront him whenever he’s back in the state.

Well, here's Romney's campaign material that really resonated with Utah folk:

I remember in 2008 when we bamboozled ourselves into thinking Romney was the conservative alternative to McCain.
I hate to say: "I told you so" but...come on, man. We showed the 1994 debate clips over and over again. Everything you needed to know about this snake was right there. He literally tried to out-liberal Ted Kennedy to win that seat, trashing Ronald Reagan, saying he was strongly pro-abortion and even more liberal on "gay rights" than Ted during that campaign:
Romney out-liberals Ted Kennedy.

Then #3, the man is flat evil. I dont know how else to put it. He has no concern whatsoever for either the state of UT or the people of the USA. It is still a tossup whether or not had he won in 2012 it would have been better for the country.
I maintain that a Romney presidency would have been worse for the country than what we suffered through with Obama. Why? Because he would have turned left, he would have dragged some of the gullible conservative base with him, and he would have had 100% backing from the corrupt deep state actors. He was a Republican governor of Massachusetts for four years. At the end of his term, MA had socialized medicine and homosexual fake marriage. And worse, he left the GOP in the state a smoking crater.
Imagine the permanent damage this duplicitous scoundrel would have done as a Republican president...
