"I half expected the excerpt to end with Coppins nervously edging toward the door as Romney casually starts to fondle an axe and lay down plastic sheeting in the living room while cheerfully monologuing about what a tool Josh Hawley is."
It’s hard to know a vacuum.
He’ll always have a spot at CNN as the go-to Republican.
Ritt Momsey....good riddance to Pierre Delecto.
“PIERRE DELECTO, Anti-Trump Republican Senator Is Done - Calls It A Career IN WEAK MITT ROMNEY STYLE”

This will make two one-term offices Romney has held, in two different states, and being forced to leave both of them for poor performance.
One of my old ones
Good job! 😅👍🤣
He couldn’t even get re-elected in Massachusetts even though he represented that constituency for most of the last six years.
Sorry, Romne did not have a 30 year political career.
He appeared out of nowhere to run against Ted Kennedy in 1994 (mainly on his father’s name), then vanished, then reappered to take out acting-governor Jane Swift of MA and he defeated the Democrat in November.
Did a shitty job as governor (I live in MA), decided to run for president, lost, decided to run for president, lost, then was bequeathed a US Senate seat because Orrin Hatch wanted to retire and didn’t want the seat to go conservative.
He’s not some elder statesman like Richard Nixon.
He’s a failed and worthless politician.
Well……………bye
Never in my life have I been MORE disappointed in a leader than I am with Mitt Romney.
As early as 2001, when I saw Mitt Romney come in and SAVE the 2002 Winter Olympics, I thought... This guy would make a GREAT President.
I was disappointed that he didn’t run in 2008. But, I dismissed it by thinking. “He saw the writing on the wall with Obama’s 1st term”.
In 2012, Mitt was PERFECTLY positioned to save us from the Communist’s 2nd term. But, he WIMPED OUT! He refused to go after Obama’s failure at Benghazi and handed over any chance he had at victory.
I’m convinced, this weakness was a BIG part of what persuaded Trump... (a patriot who would have preferred to remain a businessman) ... to run for President. I think DJT would have been MUCH happier to see Romney win, and enact pro-business policies. But, he didn’t. So, Trump had NO CHOICE.
After that, Romney went total milque-toast. Worse, he became a Trump-hater.
Well... SCREW YOU, Mitt Romney. Go enjoy your millions of dollars and grandkids. Just leave REAL governance to men with BALLS, like DJT!
I don’t see how Hemmingway can call Romney an “otherwise exemplary man” after setting out what he knows about him and the lies in the book, but the final paragraph in the article is this:
“By contrast, until I read Romney: A Reckoning, it had never occurred to me that the most obvious reason Romney’s political career petered out in a hail of grievances is that he’s turned into — and it pains me to say this about an otherwise exemplary man — kind of an asshole.”
🐶🐶🐶🦮🐕🦺🐩 WE APPROVE. 🐾
Long-winded article on a subject none of us really care about. Hard to believe an entire book on him will sell.
Yes, we know Romney and he is a real POS. Hopefully, Mormons will learn not to vote for a candidate just because of his/her religion.
