Days before he officially becomes a U.S. senator, Mitt Romney took to the Washington Post to fire a shot across President Trumps bow, saying Mr. Trump had made a deep descent in December and is hurting the national character.
In an op-ed column published online Tuesday evening, Mr. Romney, now a Republican senator-elect for Utah, came down hardest on recent moves in foreign policy and Cabinet positions related to that.
After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not. When he won the election, I hoped he would rise to the occasion. His early appointments of Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions, Nikki Haley, Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, Kelly and Mattis were encouraging. But, on balance, his conduct over the past two years, particularly his actions this month, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office, he wrote.

Not even sworn in yet and already leading the Bush League Republicans.
If Mitt plans to run in 2020, he is not interested in winning. He just wants to make sure Trump loses.
Maybe he just wants to be the next Paul Ryan and make things more difficult for PDJT to drain the swamp. I really despise Romney.
“He built a $300m fortune from nothing.”
His daddy was the President of a car company for 8 years, Governor of Michigan, the equivalent of a Governor in the LDS Church (Regional Rep), Secretary of HUD and a (failed) Presidential candidate. So Mitt did not start out with as little of nothing as most people.
Mitt doesnt care about the Republican base. He is for the elites.
Exactly. We should expect the dem's 24/7 MSM coverage of Romney = and/or its favorite leading Rino - will be most favorable from now until the R primaries. Needless to say, at the same time its coverage of Trump will amount to nothing but non-stop hit pieces.
All three threats, the dems, its MSM and the Rinos, if unanswered by Trump, will indeed bleed off some of the undecided and many of the unthinking R voters.
Go F yourself, clown.
(not you, rdl)
Well there’s enough other Republican US Senators that his one voice won’t make any difference. LOL
Does everyone in Utah impose gay polygamy, ObamaRomneyCARE,
open borders, conservative-backstabbing, lying,
and dog abuse?
Apparently, yes.
So when did the GOP die?
1996? 2006 after the Iraq war wave election? 2008? When Obama won?
We got rid of Flake, McCain, Corker and Heller, and added back Mittens. Still have Sasse for 2 more years, but he’ll be gone after that. On balance, we are much better off, but Mitt is clearly going to be a pain in the ass for 6 years. I really can’t stand that guy.
That’s because MA wouldn’t elect him.
He's not interested in running.
He's going to put together the 20 GOP Senate votes to remove the President, and get himself appointed as Pence's VP.
Let him. The only state he’ll carry is Utah.
Keep him off the U S Senate Judiciary Committee!

A lot of the financing for anti-Trump operations comes right out of Utah.
John Huber is from Utah. An Obama Appointee.
Mark Warner and other Dems go right to Utah for the money to embarrass and investigate ($$ for claims) against Trump.
.
Stick a sock in it, Willard, you loser.
So when will Mittens “flip”? When will he come out as a Rat?
