Mitt Romney: A weathervane in a hurricane

Mitt’s “Bipartisan” Threat To President  
. . . But seeing as the Dems did EXACTLY what Trump said they would do by weaponizing the pandemic, these idiots are now trying to investigate Trump for his response to the Wuhan virus… And Mitt’s letter is meant to get him to comply with their investigation.
Mitt can come through for the right cause if the wind blows just right, but how will anyone know?  Romney Speaks Out Against Democrats Who Shot Down Coronavirus Relief Bill

Mitt Romney went off on Senate Dems as “irresponsible and reckless” 
"Senator Mitt Romney usually sides with Democrats on anything important but today he unleashed on Senate Democrats for shutting down the virus relief package, calling their actions “irresponsible and reckless.”
“Nothing in the Senate has shocked me, until today,” Romney tweeted. “Standing in the way of a critically needed rescue package is irresponsible and reckless. Dems say not enough money to state: nearly $200 billion isn’t chump change. Hospitals get at least $75 billion.”
He said emphatically that they had a complete lack of understanding of economics.
"“As for funds for companies,” Romney said while referring to the money that companies would get from the government so they can stay in business; “it’s to keep entities that employ millions of Americans from folding—it’s to save jobs. Keep this up a little longer and we will go from social distancing to social destruction.' ” . . .

For years, Romney has been known for his lack of convictions:  
Mitt Romney: A weathervane in a hurricane  . . . "His problem going into 2012 is much different. This is not the case of someone who changed his positions or evolved or was being politically expedient.  
"It is much worse than that. The real question now, after more and more continuous flip-flops, is whether Mitt Romney stands for much of anything, other than a burning desire to get elected president of the United States. Does he have a core? Does he have anything that he truly believes in? Is he only interested in “being there,” to quote the title from the Peter Sellers movie?
"The flip-flops go beyond a series of social issues or stands from his Massachusetts days — he is a serial flip-flopper. Immigration, healthcare, the stimulus, flat taxes, the recent Ohio initiatives — the propensity to change his positions appears to be part and parcel of who Mitt Romney is as a person.
"He is very much in the moment. He wants to please the audience he is speaking to, no matter what, just like a salesman. But, in today’s world, this stuff goes viral." . . . '
