Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) made clear in an interview with The Atlantic on Wednesday that he will not vote for President Trump's re-election in November.

Driving the news: Romney sent shockwaves through Washington after announcing he would vote to convict Trump in the impeachment trial — becoming the only Senate Republican to break ranks and vote for the president's removal from office.

"The president delayed funds for an American ally at war with Russian invaders," Romney said in a speech on the Senate floor. "The president's purpose was personal and political. Accordingly, the president is guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust." Yes, but: Romney also stated that "under no circumstances" would he vote for Sens. Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, who could face off against Trump in the general election.

Romney wrote in his wife's name on the ballot in 2016. "She’ll probably get [a] second vote," he told The Atlantic.

I guess he can write in Joseph Smith this time around.

A Romney ancestor ripped off a Flake ancestor for $1000 which was a lot back then.. Left him in jail to rot for polygamy for 6 months. Fled to Mexico..

The Flake ancestor got out of prison and became a State Senator for Arizona

How much money has Mittens (and Mumbai Mike) received from the Indian Tech Lobby, who hates Trump and votes Democrat, and these two knuckleheads stand to gain with Utah’s Silicon Slopes?

Inquiring minds want to know...

ROMNEY MIGHT SWITCH PARTIES TO BECOME THE ACCEPTABLE DEMOCRAT NOMINEE !!

I don't think Dems would want him. They might accept him as a VP nominee. More likely, someone would fund a run by him as a third party candidate in an effort to siphon off votes, like with McMuffin.

Romney might go the third party route.

> He wrote in his wife’s name? What a frivolous waste of a sacred American right.

No, wait -- that's a GREAT idea!

After the Democraps screw Bernie over again, and it becomes clear to all that Boot-edge-edge is a lightweight, have all the anti-Trumpers write in Romney's wife, Ann Davies.

“”The president delayed funds for an American ally at war with Russian invaders,” Romney said in a speech on the Senate floor ...

Romney wrote in his wife’s name on the ballot in 2016. “

Obviously Romney’s failure to vote for Trump in 2016 had nothing to do with Ukraine which is a more recent situation.

RE: The president delayed funds for an American ally at war with Russian invaders,” Romney said in a speech on the Senate floor ...

Can Romney explain to us why Ukraine’s own President Zelensky said that HE DID NOT FEEL ANY PRESSURE from Trump at all?

If the alleged victim of the delay said that his country did not even know about the delay or got affected by it, why does Romney keep on harping on this one matter?

Piere Delecto is like someone who keeps telling a woman she has been raped when she keeps telling him she was not.

[personalaccts]

He’ll be a force NOT!!!!!

[Karma_Sherab]

A brokered convention anyone. Hillary, Romney and who else?

Mittens is actually dumb enough to try running with Hillary as his VP

[grania]

But what if God tells him that it's the right thing to do, for the sake of Romney's children?

Romney's nuts.

[Gay State Conservative]

One can look at this statement from several different directions.Pierre Delecto,who has brought Massachusetts values to the great State of Utah,will be voting for the Rat candidate,as will a large majority of Massachusetts voters.

And Pierre Delecto,who spends most of his nights sleeping in DC,or one of DC's Maryland or Virginia suburbs,will be voting for the Rat Candidate,as will a large majority of voters living within a 50 mile radius of DC.

But OTOH,Pierre Delecto...who claims to currently represent the wishes of Utah's voters...will,in voting for the Rat candidate,be very much in the minority of Utah's voters in November.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Utah voters.....you are the butt wipes that put this evil piece of human scum and vermin in the Senate.....now figure out how to get rid of Romney...legally...like, today....you deadbeat fools!!!

[GuavaCheesePuff]

Romney did not vote for Trump in 2016.

Neither did Paul Ryan. Both Romney and Ryan voted for themselves or wrote in someone else.

Kasich wrote in McCain in 2016.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

We already knew that he would not vote for Trump. He is so jealous that Trump beat him that he cannot live with it. The man has too much estogen in his system. Otherwise, he would let it go.

>>>”The president delayed funds for an American ally at war with Russian invaders,” Romney said in a speech on the Senate floor. “The president’s purpose was personal and political<<<

Well, since that didn’t actually happen, I guess Benedict McRomney made a grievous error in Judgment, much like the People of Utah that Elected him their Senator.

[Ratman0823]

Since none of their leading candidates can win, ROMNEY MIGHT SWITCH PARTIES TO BECOME THE ACCEPTABLE DEMOCRAT NOMINEE !!

Why not go down as the first person to be beat down in a Presidential election as a member of TWO different national parties?

[italianquaker]

He probably voted for hillary in 2016, so how is this news

[plain talk]

My take on this (and may be wrong) is Romney believes Trump is a one-off (which he is) but Romney believes he (Romney) will ultimately be shown in history as being in the right in contrast to Trump and all his “misguided” supporters.

Romney is positioning himself for what he thinks things will be like post-Trump. Romney is on board with the democrat and RINO crowd that will airbrush out Trump’s role in history as if Trump did not even exist. These people will erase everything Trump did once he is gone. Wall? They will tear it down. They will make a spectacle about it like the Berlin wall coming down.
