He’s like the last sane Republican, right?
Yassss do it Mitt
For the record, Romney really could be doing so much more and chooses not to. He takes some small insignificant stands but when it would have counted he’s just another sheep
That Romney gives the impression of the last of the sane Republicans just shows how batshit fucking loony the GOP has become. Our literal standing in the world depends on fixing the image these boneheads give our country around the adult world.
He is a democrat!!!
I would not be surprised if he was not alone in this. A lot of Senate Republicans are embarrassed by this and are not up for reelection.
Mittens better re-up his personal security arrangements for him and his family.
Who?
Romney – Somehow one of the best Republicans left. Retiring.
McCain – Lamented by the 2024 GOP frontrunner before he passed.
Cheney – Completely exiled.
McCarthy – Ousted despite starting Biden’s impeachment inquiry and giving into basically every MAGA demand. Retired during his term.
Johnson – As far-right evangelical as it gets, yet potentially at risk of losing his seat for… barely supporting bipartisan legislation?
McConnell – Highly vilified despite being perhaps the most influential GOP legislator in the past two decades.
The overton window on the Republican Party has launched off the edge of the flat-Earth world they inhabit.
Good, now do whatever needs to be done to get Ukraine/Taiwan/Israel aid, even if that means voting out Johnson and voting in Hakeem Jeffries
He’s the worst and the MSM needs to stop with these articles trying to paint him as a voice of reason on that side of the aisle. He went along with it for too long to be forgiven for finding a sliver of conscience this late in the game.
They should not dismiss this. They should hold a brief trial and then vote to not find him guilty.
Mark my words, if they dismiss this, every single impeachment case will be dismissed if the senate is held by another party.
Interested to see how Collins and Murkowski vote. My understanding is this is so silly a lot of Senate Rs are ready to end this charade. Imagine the first Senate impeachment trial where the party that started it doesn’t even have unanimous support.
Well if he has any new found moral as he likes to portray to be different from maga he should, but I don’t believe any republican until they actually do it

The irony is, I think if Mitt Romney had run against Donald Trump and somehow won the primary he would beat Biden. Republicans vote (R) anyway and the left would have an outlet for their Biden hate. Biden enjoys amazing support now because his candidate is worse than a shit sandwich or a giant douche even. If the Republicans hadn’t been devoted to Trump I think their best pick would have been Romney.
I miss the days when people like him were in charge of the GOP. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a piece of shit but at least he tried to govern and I would never once doubt that he has a deep love for this country; unlike the current batch of seemingly inbred, self-serving morons.
“Open” being the operative word.
FYI – They need 67 votes in the Senate to convict. Dems have 51 of the seats. Mitt’s vote is irrelevant, and seeing as how he is merely “open” to voting the sane way and not stating that that is already his position, he should be treated as such.
Romney is the only GOP that has any common sense. As a democrat I have a lot of respect for him.
Romney could’ve pulled independents and the “they’re too old” vote to make something happen this cycle. Sad.
My point is the whole “open to doing x” is just political posturing. He could be seeing tangible results for the country and probably labeled a hero of all things. It’s amazing when they don’t see the opportunity to do the right fucking thing for once.
y’know what…impeach him and then disband the DHS. It has been responsible for sooo much erosion of our civil liberties.
After hearing his nickname I have to stop myself from calling him that every time I see or read his name
Don’t signal, just vote.
republican words mean nothing at this point.
The voice of reason in the party of crazies is a devout Mormon. He just can’t believe this shit.
It’s hilarious how fast GOP because a party of literal traitors. So few sane republicans left.
