As big an idiot as Sessions has been (oh wait! Trust Session ! the Plan Boss the Plan!) he will vote correctly on committee assignments and chairmanships, federal court appointments and most important of all new USSC nominations!

Partner, they are having a "Huge Voter's Regret that this idiot Romney Won the Senator's race" in the great state of Utah.

Let's hope their taking that regret to the phones. Enough of this moron's political games!

Romney is free to have his own opinion. But whipping votes contrary to the wishes of GOP leadership is way, way over the line.

Romney belongs in the Senate broom closet for the duration. Any leader worth his salt would have ground Romney’s family jewels to dust for such a stunt.

McConnell is only Majority Leader because he is weak. That much should be abduntently clear at this point.

I really wish I could rescind my 2012 general-election vote for this snake.

2012 was the only time in my voting age life that I didn’t vote for the GOP Presidential candidate — and I must say that I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision.

The good patriots of Utah need to “recall” Romney by using their 1st Amendment power to petition to demand that he either resigns or the Senate expels him.
"Article I, Section 5, Clause 2: Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member [emphases added]."

At least find out who the RINO senators are, the “Republican” Senators who vote to keep Romney, which such a vote.

Heck, I suppose that all concerned patriots can sign such a petition.

Remember in November!

MAGA! Now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

Don’t feel bad. I voted for him too. It was a three clothespin moment.

It was him or the bow-master turn-coat again. Good grief!

The GOP is the useless party..

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/six-gop-senators-who-hold-the-cards-in-trumps-senate-impeachment-trial-adam-goodman

.Will one, some, or all six favor the Democrats’ push for a longer trial complete with fresh witnesses bearing fresh testimony?

Then there is one very stark political reality.

Those up for re-election this year – Collins, Gardner, and McSally – have no electoral breathing room at all. Stand with the President, and their GOP base stands with them. Come against the president, and all three will fall this November, despite the encouragement of media who desperately want to show their smarts while continually falling victim to dumb.

The Democrats know the verdict on the president is in – he will be acquitted, and the race for the White House will resume in all its glory.

Not only are these people RINOS there dumb..

With the presentations of yesterday that covered Biden's involvement with Ukraine, the GOP has put the Democrat/Left in a box regarding witnesses. The Democrat/Left is playing a bigger game than impeachment (which is for the sole purpose of a feeble attempt to assuage the Party's whacked-out base that won't be satisfied at all unless Trump is removed). The bigger game is securing Joe Biden as the nominee for the upcoming election because they know they will be crushed if the nominee is Sanders or Warren ... crushed!

The longer the Democrat/Left can extend impeachment the less time Sanders and Warren have to campaign, therefore the push to extend impeachment with a feeble call for more and more witnesses (and people like Bolton and Romney are helping them along) will give Biden a significant edge over his communist opponents.

The problem for the Democrat/Left is that Biden would likely be called as a witness ... and the Left knows this (they're already trying -- again, feebly -- to say Biden is not "material" to the impeachment trial and thus cannot be called as a witness ... they'll lose that argument because if anyone is "material" it's the Bidens!)

Biden's testimony (most likely a continuous stream of 5th Amendment refusals to respond) would put Sanders and Warren right back in the fight ... and if Biden prevails then the whacked-out supporters of Sanders and Warren have just another reason to stay home.

It will be interesting how this plays out over the next day or two ...

[In a private lunch with fellow Senate Republicans Monday, the frequent critic of President Trump reportedly “made a strong pitch” for calling additional witnesses for the Senate trial, according to Politico’s sources. ]


Romney is hoping to run again, maybe in 2020. His ego is writing checks his GOP approval ratings can’t cash.

Romney is a former governor and two-time presidential candidate who is now the junior senator from one of the most inconsequential states in the U.S. I’m surprised his ego would even allow that kind of humiliation.
