Mitt Romney: just who IS the man, anyway?

After Impeachment Romney Turned On Trump – Mitt’s Own State Is Turning Against Him, His Approval Sinks  . . . "Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney lost support from Republicans and independents in his home state during the weeks after he called for witnesses in President Trump’s Senate impeachment trial…
"The poll shows the senator’s approval rating falling among Utah Republicans from September through December 2019, and independents also shifted to disapproving of Romney over the quarter.
"Ouch. After Mitt Romney voiced support for the Democrats’ impeachment trial scheme, his approval among Utah Republicans and independents dropped.
"Let’s be honest, this is not just about his statement on witnesses. The lines are pretty much drawn over impeachment." . . .

From the NY Times back in 2018: A New Mitt or the Same Old Weenie?
. . . "After Trump was nominated, Romney swore he’d never vote for him, although he backed off the obvious alternative of Hillary Clinton. No, Mitt was a proud and useless Mystery Vote*, musing about the relative advantages of going with the Libertarian or writing in his wife.When Trump won, Romney reappeared in a third incarnation, as the Secretary-of-State-in-Waiting who dined out with the president-elect, burbling about his “message of inclusion.” Then it became clear Trump was just dangling the nomination for the fun of seeing his old enemy leap up and down trying to grab it. No Cabinet Mitt.  . . . *Emphasis added by TD
