Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Thursday defended President Biden’s reaction to the flight of a Chinese surveillance balloon across the United States and said he agreed with the president’s decision to shoot it down off the coast of South Carolina.

Romney said he was satisfied with answers he received from senior administration officials, including Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, at an all-senators classified briefing on the incident.

“My questions were satisfactorily answered and I believe the administration, the president, our military and our intelligence agencies acted skillfully and with care. At the same time, their capabilities are extraordinarily impressive,” Romney told reporters after the briefing.

Romney said the administration could have done some things differently but noted it’s always easy to second-guess decisions in hindsight.

“Was everything done 100 percent correctly? I can’t imagine that would be the case of almost anything we do,” he said.

In demonstrating US cowardice, how can you account for a “net gain.”?

That was always my question in the run up to 2012 when the majority on FR were pimping Myth as some conservative savior.....

How do Myth's views on any major topic differ from those of 0bama or sHrillary?

I was going to cause the end of (R) party, the demise of America, etc etc......but I never got an answer. The closest was 'a republican congress would hold his feet to the fire.'

Romney...
Have dementia as well?

Who is going to primary Pierre Delecto?

Unfortunately there will probably be at least two challengers. More likely three or four. They'll split the vote resulting in another six years for Pierre. Maybe one of them will get a Trump endorsement. But they might play games with Democrats changing their registration to Republican to help Pierre.

I would blame the corp ztarting with Walmart. No one held a gun to Jobs” head, or Walton, or Bezos and others and said go to China. Now Clinton and Barky gave them our mil tech but the others gave them our jobs. Even LL Bean sells made in China clothes. And we cannot get those jobs back as Americans won’t pay the prices made in America would cost.

"Romney... Have dementia as well?"

Brainwashed. Its hereditary.

I doubt you recall where US men’s shirts were made. It was a city in SC.

These people, like Romney, Biden and their fellow travelers, are such morons, such quislings.

I'd love to hear a reporter ask one of them this....

If it was a good decision to allow the CCP spy balloon to float over our country unabated, would it be an equally good idea to allow a CCP spy plane, such as a Y-9GX, to float over our country unabated and wait until it was done collecting intelligence to shoot it down over the Atlantic?

Someone will try to primary him or he will run as an “independent” like Egg McMuffin did. The Democrats will opt out of running a candidate as they did for McMullin, the CIA-Gadianton man.

Utah's primary system starts with the GOP convention. If anyone fails to get a majority there, there is a primary run-off. Candidates are free to file for the primary run-off anyway, and they do. In 2022, the Romneyites tried to primary Mike Lee and, failing gloriously, got quietly behind the "independent" CIA-Gadianton man Even McMullin.

They failed there as well as Lee won reelection handily.

What you need to primary Romney is another Romney, and Even McNothing, and very little else.

Then you pimp 'another Romney' -- and with any kind of planning, he's underground MAGA -- and hope he wins a 3-way, but even if not, you smoke Romney and get McNothing, who is a dirt-poor bootlicker, and for sale, like Romney is not.
