Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) praised Vice President Kamala Harris’ debate performance Wednesday, arguing that the Democratic nominee demonstrated that she is “intelligent” and “capable” in her first showdown against former President Donald Trump.
Romney, a longtime Trump critic who has refused to vote for the GOP nominee for president going back to 2016, told reporters on Capitol Hill that the ABC News debate proved Harris can “answer questions from the media.”
“Those were answered well. She spoke well and clearly and I think she prosecuted her case well,” the Utah Republican said.
Romney, who lost the 2012 White House race to former President Barack Obama, argued that Harris made the most of her opportunity to distinguish herself from Trump before some 67 million viewers.
And people saw, actually, she’s an intelligent, capable person who has a point of view on issues,” he added. “And she actually demonstrated that time and again.”
Meanwhile, the former Massachusetts governor argued that Trump’s performance was just that — “a performance.”
“This was classic President Trump,” Romney said.
“President Trump prosecuted his case as he wanted to,” he added.
Harris, 59, invoked Romey’s name at one point in the debate, touting having the support of “200 Republicans who have formerly worked with President [George W] Bush, Mitt Romney, and John McCain.”***

She’s an American-hating Marxist Mittens. Wake up.
Is he running for reelection?
Romney is a mindless drone. He’s politically naive beyond
explanation. When I see him pull his next mindless blunder,
I just feel sorry for someone that stupid, and realize it
will hurt us with people who don’t know much about politics.
Apparently Mitt is one, too.
Still think you really had a choice before Trump came along?
The song “Here come the clowns” seems so relevant these days...Trump is outting them all.
Wow....glad he’s on our side....../sarc.
I can see why he lost.
Yes he has. And there seems to be a whole new crew waiting
to be outed at any given time.
I’ve never forgiven him for throwing the 2012 election away (the Obamas were already packing up to leave the White House) but since then I see just what a jerk he actually is.
Democrats never compliment Republicans.
Democrats ALWAYS support democrats no matter the situation.
Democrats praise democrats no matter the substance.
Democrats never oppose their fellow democrats in Congress or the White House.
Republicans could learn something. Reagan had a commandment concerning this, I believe.
Was Kamela in his “binders full of women.”
Go die in a fire, Mitt!
With Disney’s guidance, ABC used a classic stagecraft technique to censor President Trump’s effective and coherent points. The split-screen. This allowed Harris to mug, smile, roll her eyes, smile, gesture, cock her head, and feign confusion while Trump spoke. It does visually what interrupting him does with sound. It focuses the listener on her emotional reactions rather than on the substance of his words.
As a test, rewatch the debate but only play the segments Trump is speaking and watch his side of the screen. He wiped the floor with her on every point.
Mittens has a low political IQ.
.......Sen. Mitt Romney (R-LDS) praised Vice President Kamala Harris’ debate performance Wednesday, arguing that the Democratic nominee demonstrated that she is well able to receive and transmit messages from her earbuds!....
“Mitt Romney “ and “intelligent , capable person” don’t belong in the same sentence.
Trump smoked these globalist lovers out.
Globalists back globalists.
