Simple fact of the matter is Romney personally hates Trump despite all the moralizing and allusions to his faith. If this were another Republican president like the Bushes,who were caught up in this partisan impeachment he would have voted to acquit..

Never underestimate the power of pandering to people who hated you yesterday and will hate you again tomorrow.

[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously-after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth.

Mitt can not write his own invitation to any party or high society affair he wishes.
