Everyone has known what a weasel he already was, but now Mitt Romney is voting yes to impeach the president, despite the lack of a proven crime. He's made no secret of his hatred towards the president, but to choose to betray him now and give the dems a gift that compels them to continue this farce after the acquittal. Pierre Delecto indeed.

Romney, much like Hillary thought he was entitled to the presidency. When someone as unorthodox as trump accomplished the task he couldn't handle it. The guy is pathetic and needs to go ASAP.
Bernie Sanders has ideas and beliefs dangerous to democracy and freedom, but I can at least respect that he actually says what he believes. That can't be said for Mitt, who has always changed his views based on which way the wind was blowing. I hear CNN is hiring, Mitt. Maybe they'll give the 'Pierre Delecto' show a slot in primetime.
There's nothing respectable about communism.
Absolutely true. The best thing I can say about Bernie is that he is genuine, but then again, so was Hitler.
democratic socialism isn’t communism. How do you people even determine your political affiliations without knowing the differences between political systems?
Could you articulate the distinction for we people so that we may properly align ourselves to the correct political affiliation? Keep it short pinko.

My guess is he will be a Democrat after his reelection. Trojan horse RINO
He will definitely be voted into the rino hall of fame.
They probably don't want him either, lol.
I think hes always been a Democrat. Lol

He should be shunned from the party. His lack of loyalty to the party probably indicates someone is paying him. I’d like investigations into his finances and his personal life. All his dirt should see sunlight.
He will no doubt be remembered for this betrayal. No matter what else he accomplishes in his life, this will be one of the things he is most remembered for.
He’s either angling for a party change or a flake style give up. Either way, the senate should fleece him while he’s still an elected official.

You can't possibly believe that. Mitt has a long history of being a weasel. He didn't vote yes for his precious conscience, but his own political survival. As a democrat.
As if they would want him either lol
Well, what was Trump expecting when he supported his election bid? He has no one to blame but himself.
Trump has gone out and supported loads of republicans for their races. Trump knew who Mitt was, but what else could he do?
Support someone else.
Mitt had a better chance of winning, and Trump knew it.
Even then, should Trump endorse someone he disagrees with just because he's more likely to win? I'd hope the president would be willing to back unpopular candidates if he thought they were the better choice
Yeah, after Trump endorsed him lol
Trump made the correct decision then, and now.
You have to remember that back in 2016 literally millions of republicans chose to vote for other candidates as a protest vote and this was especially true in Utah, where many Mormon voters disliked the Presidents character and his moral failings.
By using Pierre Delecto’s thirst for power and joining a generally liked and well known Mormon to himself and supporting him, The President sent a message to Utah and the rest of the movement that he is truly with the party and will disregard personal dislike if it means advancing conservative candidates.
And people responded by increasing the President’s support within the party and making him its undisputed leader.
Today, Mitt Romney made a stupid stupid mistake. And I don’t mean the independent act of voting to convict. He did so meaninglessly. His vote either way would have done nothing. And now, no self-respecting conservative will back him ever again.
Save this post, because in two years you’ll see how in the span of a senate term, Mitt Romney turned himself into what he thought Trump was; an unliked, illegitimate leader, whose removal will be cheered and his abortion of a political career will be forgotten and a mere footnote in history.
This is asinine. Everyone knew Romney and other would betray Trump, so Trump was right for helping them do that just to prove that they would? No one likes Mitt Romney. If they did, he wouldn't be going from Presidental candidate and Massachutes governor to running for senate in Utah. All of these career politicians are very unlikable, and have approval ratings that are a fraction of Trump's.
And no one supports Trump because he helped people like Mitt Romney get into power.
Your most valuable player is gone gone gone

I knew he was a Democrat when he was the Governor of MA.
Obama was inspired by his healthcare program enough to force it upon the entire country. Now that's a democrat.

That's correct. There was no crime committed.

Look up all the times they said Obama broke the law and get back to me.

I am so happy I didn't vote for him in 2012.
You and everybody else. Look at what happened to Arlen Specter when he pulled a similar move. Shunned by his friends, despised by his former party, and died in shame.
If republicans value their party, they will run out Mitt from the senate ,and any other position.
You don't have to be a republican to see this blatant betrayal for what it is. I wouldn't be surprised to see him change parties. Good riddance, traitor!
Im not American, but trying to understand the American election. im just curious, don't you want a politician that stands for what he believes and don't just follow what other tells him? not saying he is wrong or right, just curious.
I believe that president Trump stands for what he believes. Don't take my or anyone else's word for it. Research what both political parties are saying and come to your own conclusions. Don't be swayed by any of the media from the right or left. During every presidential election, vast sums of money are spent bombarding voters of both sides and are often misleading to favor one candidate over another.
