| Here's the price Mitt Romney is paying for standing against Trump |
| 2019-10-28 |
| h/t Instapundit. The f*cking headline makes this little conformist f*ck sound like a hero instead of an establishment hack. [NBCNews] One man is an island: Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah. The 72-year-old former Republican presidential nominee has isolated himself from Republicans in the Senate, in his home state and across the country by occasionally ‐ but strongly ‐ criticizing President Donald Trump, including the president's efforts to enlist the aid of foreign governments to probe a leading political opponent. "By all appearances, the President's brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling," Romney tweeted earlier this month. In recent weeks, the senator's acts of rebellion against the commander in chief have been flagrant: from publicly confirming "Pierre Delecto" as the secret identity he used to counter Trump on Twitter to bashing Trump's Syria policy on the Senate floor to positioning himself on the front edge of any move by GOP lawmakers to break away and either censure the president or vote to remove him from office if the House follows through with impeachment. |

| #6 Iblis, if I did, it was only because the alternative was worse in the General Election. Still maintain that... |

| #5 Ibliss, I don't remember if any of the crap directed at you was from me or not but if it was you have my sincere apology. |

| #4 Hindsight is 20-20 (or there abouts) As bad a Bath House was, I often wonder if McSssssschtain and Mittens would not have been worse. I'm going to guess a traitor is more unpalatable than an enemy pretending to be my friend. |

| #3 I recall catching a lot of crap on this site for opposing Romney in 2012. |

| #2 Both Utah senators are underwater approval rating wise. I suspect they are re-calibrating their messaging as we speak. |

| #1 I'm sorry to say I voted for Pierre Delecto when he ran against Obummer. I regret I didn't know better at the time (went for the evil of two lessers) and write in my pooch. He had much more character. |
