Romney 'sickened' by Trump's behavior in Mueller report
I can't believe the stupidity being uttered by Sen Romney. He was a pathetic presidential candidate and appears to be heading toward being a worse senator.
"Sickened" by the lawbreaking of the president? What about the law breaking of Hillary, Comey, Brennen, Clapper, Strzok et al? I suppose that was just a friendly framing/trashing of the Republican candidate then President; all in fun by a group of Good 'ol boys.
He needs to get his out on straight and look at what the Dems are really doing and support the president or at least keep his mouth shut.

If I had, I may have just stayed at home like so many other Republicans had. And maybe me into ad hominems shoulda been calling Mitt a Mutt instead.
Had I known what a slime Romney was, there is no way I would have voted for him.
Although not voting would have meant one more for the communist Muslim.
Pain hurts. Sigh!
Nothing illegal was found but the antagonism was so strong that making and repeating nasty accusations was something that could be got away with.
The rumors form no charge so effective rebuttal is not possible.
The use of such character denigration techniques is worse than the accusations.
With free speech this stuff is best left to the gutter press, it has no place in a formal inquiry.
I'd be interested in the information about Shapiro. He's always struck me as a pretty intelligent and morally-grounded guy.
Coulter is a mystery to me. Read some of her earlier books and was very impressed by the research she did. Not quite sure why she fell out of favor but she did.
The jury is still out on Coulter. However, she was a VERY early Trump supporter even braving leftist laughter in her face on TV. Now? This so-called "lawyer" is flaying Trump because he isn't acting like a dictator FORCING legislation on changing immigration law and going down there himself to oversee and FORCE the wall to be built. Such an interesting flip-plop, no? HRC's "Pied Piper" strategy was discussed in the Podesta emails.
Both my mother and father married three times. This type of behavior has been inculcated into our society AT LEAST since the 1960s. Add the fact that POTUS is rich and famous, the odds go up exponentially that pressures on his marriages would be much more destructive. Being rich and famous NATURALLY ensures a man will be a womanizer. Who but a Saint would be able to ALWAYS resist women throwing themselves at him? To think that this really has anything other than a minuscule effect on his presidential job integrity is just, in my opinion, bunk.
The Bush "P" recording was TALK. And, I think I would bet serious money that nothing happened between Trump and Stormy. She wrote a letter to that effect then backtracked obliquely on a talk show because that's what they wanted to hear. And, has ANYONE seen his WIFE??? LOL. As a rich and famous man, POTUS is a TARGET to blackmailers and golddiggers. I'm sure he had a fund set aside to pay off the more persistent ones for the price of an NDA. Much easier, faster, and cheaper than fighting.
We didn't hire a SAINT. However, the MAN we ended up getting has MANY more positive attributes than ANY of us thought we were getting in 2016. He's going to go down in history as the greatest president since Lincoln if not further back in history. I'd bet money on that, too.
Romney is a disgusting statist looter (agent of the swamp) who will do anything to steal power from others.
Which brings to mind the old nursery rhyme, Rub a dub dub three men in a tub...Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, and Bill Kristol, let's put them out to sea. No one would miss them.
Your lead in paragraph, mminnick, sums it up well.
My mother used to say, 'Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!' This could happen and a lot of folks will wonder 'what happened'.
“Know what makes me sick, Mitt? Not how disingenuous you were to take @realDonaldTrump $$ and then 4 yrs later jealously trash him & then love him again when you begged to be Sec of State, but makes me sick that you got GOP nomination and could have been @POTUS," Huckabee tweeted Friday.
No wonder Romney aspired to qualify upon the passing of the "tortured one".
And to think that I voted for this idiot!
Never liked his wooden personality but having no other choice but Hussein, Romney was the default.
Despite his disastrous performance in the last debate when he passed opportunities to nail Hussein, never mentioning Benghazi which was fresh out of the oven.
We were told he "acted presidential". My foot, he has never been presidential. Even a nitwit like Hussein beat him.
At the critical point in the 2008 Republican Primary, there were four candidates remaining: John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Guiliani, and Mitt Romney. Only Romney polled well nationally. Huckabee was a Christian evangelist and only appealed to the Deep South. Guiliani only polled well in his home state of New York - as well as other progressive bastions such as California. McCain polled second to Romney except in his home state.
Guiliani - seeing that he wasn't going anywhere - dropped out of the running. As he and McCain were the "centrists" running, that gave most of Guiliani's voters to him - pushing him over the top of Romney. Huckabee should have bowed out months prior but couldn't stand the thought of a Mormon running for President so he stayed in to split the conservative portion of the Republican vote and prevent Romney from winning the Primary - which in a head-to-head with McCain he (Romney) would have won handily.
I respect his daughter, Sarah, but Huckabee is a political hack.
None of these candidates, Huckabee, McCain, Romney or Giuliani would have won against Hussein. Remember, Hussein's global backing was enormous, so much so, that it was effective against Clinton's well established nationwide machine.
Any comments about HRC and her covered up criminality.
They have sooo much dirt on him. AND HE GOT BAILED OUT!
If you go back, he had a LARGE part of his money in BONDS for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Then HE PUSHED to make sure they were treated as they they were GSE (Government Secured Entities). Because he would have lost ALL his investments.
So, I guess he PUCKERED up nicely and owes people big time!
Mitt gets a lot of attention by the media because he has no great love for Trump, but until he actually votes for something to make him a RINO, don't prejudge him. Personally, I've seen pictures the media wouldn't publish and which he didn't publicize of he and his boys out helping much out houses after a hurricane - at his expense. He also sponsored a search for one of his employee's missing daughters who had gone missing - again at his personal expense. People like to villify him because he isn't a Trump lover, but if you look at his actual record of helping people personally - not as a politician - the guy is pretty remarkable. And unlike John Edwards, he hasn't dumped his wife just because she has a critical, long-term illness. Yes, he has a political axe to grind when it comes to Trump. And that's where this criticism is coming from.
You claim he is honest in his personal life, but the dems sure beat him up over the Olympics. If he is pissy over Trump's 'worldly' love life, he really ought to get over it, because the people he has chosen to support (dems) have a long history of Harvey Weinstein behavior (and worse).
Can you be more specific? I never lived in the East but would like more information. From everything I heard, he was trying to negotiate being a Red Governor in a very Blue state.
"When he ran for President..."
I'm not arguing that he performed well in the primaries against Barack Obama. His meltdown in the second debate was more than just a head-scratcher after his total dominance in the first one. And he still polled well in the final elections. If you take into account the election fraud going on, it was a much closer race than many believe.
"You claim he is honest in his personal life, but the dems sure beat him up over the Olympics."
They tried and failed. He was brought in after the Olympic committee had corrupted things. He cleaned things up, got them organized - including highway improvements (not a small feat) - and they were a successful event. It should be also noted what ridiculous and far-fetched stories they had to invent about Romney during the election campaign to try to make him look bad. One was the dog on the roof thing and the other was an invented story about him cutting the hair of someone in high school. That was the best they could do because the guy is squeaky clean.
All I'm pointing out is that it is pretty easy to attach a bad name to someone because of the media, yet the media lie all the time. Don't believe the hype. Until Romney starts voting with the Democrats, this is all hype and no substance.
Trump isn't a saint. That doesn't mean he hasn't done positive things for this country or that he should be impeached. (And it is that kind of sentiment that we should be looking out for of any Republican.)
What I thought was funny was how many reporters were now willing to acknowledge that they mocked Romney for his statements that Russia was still the biggest threat to the United States (during the 2012 campaign against Obama).
That being said, Romney's criticism of Trump was well-founded in Trump's base moral character. The reason the media can't run with that narrative successfully is that it is a completely hypocritical standpoint for them to take - and they know it. I expect that Romney is going to be an independent mind like fellow colleagues Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and Ted Cruz - who have all bucked this President on specific policy items they took issue with. But you also won't find any of them agitating for Impeachment, either. A policy dispute or criticism of personal character does not rise to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors". The media is trying to "trump" this up (pun intended) to try to drive their leftist narrative and we shouldn't fall prey to it.
