Nice Work, Traitor: Mitt Romney's Vote to Impeach Trump Will Only Hurt Senate Republicans and Help Schumer

Matt Vespa   "Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) is a traitor. He’s voting to convict Trump on one of the articles of impeachment. He’s siding with Democrats and exposing himself as someone who is against the Great American Comeback. To all those blue-collar workers who stayed home in 2012 because Obama was too liberal and Romney looked like the guy who fired them, he didn’t disappoint. He just spits in your face with this vote which is a direct missile fired at the blue-collar comeback that’s been engineered by this White House. "Romney is doing this because of his conscience. Well, good for him. He’s principled, right? Except that he’s not. Donald Trump Jr. cited a damning Twitter thread by Gregory T. Angelo who noted the years of flip-flopping by Romney, exposing him as the guy who just wants to be invited to the cocktail parties. 

 . . . "He called Trump a conman and then vied to become his secretary of state. He said he didn’t want to return to the days of Ronald Reagan in 1994, and then said he would very much like to see a Reagan Republican be the 2008 nominee. In 2012, he accepted Trump’s endorsement in his presidential bid. And he accepted Trump’s endorsement during his 2018 Senate run. The man is doing this because he thinks he can run for president again. Maybe. Why would he do this? It seems Mitt has become infected with John McCain syndrome of just being angry." . . . 
Some of the Twitter

Gregory T. Angelo @gregorytangelo Replying to @gregorytangelo
• Romney when running for Governor of Massachusetts in 2002: "I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose and am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard."
• Romney in 2011: "I support the reversal of Roe v. Wade, because it is bad law"

I could go on. Romney goes wherever the winds of popular opinion take him. If Trump's popularity starts surging, or Romney's approval takes a hit after this ill-advised op-ed, watch how he turns on a dime.

Mitt should be expelled from the @SenateGOP conference. https://twitter.com/kimstrassel/status/1225142633384665088 Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel
Mitt Romney may think he's taking a shot at POTUS. But any real damage he causes will in fact be to Senate Rs in tough races. Schumer's goal with all this was retaking the Senate. If he succeeds, he'll hopefully remember to send Romney a thank you.
