Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he did not believe President Donald Trump’s actions as laid out in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report rise to the level of impeachment, but the president does not exhibit the “best qualities of human character.”

Host Jake Tapper asked if Trump has “disgraced the office of the president.”

Romney said, “I think a number of things were unfortunate and distressing. Clearly the number of times there were items of dishonesty, misleading the American public and media are things you would not be want to see from the highest office in the land.”

He continued, “Abuse of power is at a whole other level, which suggests impeachment. I think in part one of the things it’s difficult in order to make a case for obstruction of justice or impeachment, not an underlying crime, I think it’s difficult to put together an effective case to prosecute for those crimes.”

He added, “I’ve made it clear I will support the president on policies where we agree. I’ll disagree with him openly if there’s something I think is wrong for the country or for my state. But I think he could substantially improve his game when it comes to helping shape the character of the country. I think young people, as well as people around the world, look at the president of the United States and say, does he exhibit the kind of qualities we would want to emulate? And those are qualities of humility, of honesty, integrity, and those are things where I think there’s been some call where the president has distanced himself from some of the best qualities of the human character.”

Mittens is so jealous of President Trump, it’s eating him up inside. Good.

That is probably true but that isn’t Romney’s priority here. He is campaigning to remake the GOP into a progressive corportist conservative in name only party along the lines of the Conservative party in GB. To do that he needs to fire Trump voters. This ongoing campaign of insults are primarily directed at us and not POTUS.

Well that's just it, hardly anybody can stand the scrutiny when armies of hostiles start crawling up your ass with a microscope and going back decades looking for dirt. You can be certain if they had found anything really bad, we'd have heard about it.

Think about it, Donald Trump is apparently one of the cleanest men in Washington. And they say you can tell a lot about a man by his enemies. Judging by that alone, he's top drawer. They must be livid, it's driven them quite mad.

[lodi90]

Mitt is gonna run.

I’d bet my house he won’t. That would poison the well for the next generation of fake conservatives from his church that he is grooming for higher office. Mike Lee, Mia Love, etc.

Assumes facts not in evidence.

Time to start a _second_ party, perhaps.

[Robert DeLong]

LOL, I thought for a minute you were telling me to do that. Yes, I concur, MYTH as you call him, should follow your instructions to the tee. 8>)

[Lurkinanloomin]

We can’t boot the scum out when Trump keeps endorsing them.

[griffin]

Mitt who? I dont remember him.

[Randy Larsen]

“Do as I say not as I do” Mitt? Not this crab again!

[olezip]

Romney and his ilk are the ones who have distanced themselves From ‘Humility,’ ‘Honesty, Integrity.’

Why is Romney so petty, jealous, and rude? Maybe he should start his own party. Is he that upset he is such a loser? He had his chance to be president and he clearly blew it. Romney is an embarrassment to Mormons.

[Clutch Martin]

Romney “assessment” is as welcome as a rank fart in a crowded elevator.

[Deplorable American1776]

Mitt Romney, you have distanced yourself from what true Americans think. You should join the Democrat Party, Jackass?

... facts in evidence.

Clinton ... was able to defeat Bush and Perot, winning 43 percent of the vote to Bush’s 37.4 percent and Perot’s 18.9 percent. In the electoral college, Clinton’s victory was more dramatic: he captured 370 electoral votes to Bush’s 168, thus ending 12 years of Republican control of the presidency.

Remarkably slim Democratic losses in the House gave force to that promise, as the Democrats ended up with 259 seats, or only nine less than they have now. And the increase in young, black, Hispanic and female members seems likely to leave the new House more liberal and committed to action than the old.

But while Democrats held their own in the Senate against initially difficult odds, they did not make the gains needed to squelch determined opposition, which Senator Bob Dole of Kansas, the Republican leader, indicated he would often provide. Filibuster Calculations

The final tally in the Senate gave Democrats 57 seats, as many as they hold now, and the Republicans 42, or enough to prevent bills from coming to a vote with united opposition. It takes 60 votes to end a filibuster.

I can describe Romney’s character in two words: self righteous.

[northislander]

Was he born in one of those polygamy colonies in mexico? Did his father have four wives and run for POTUS in 1968?
