So this POS is talking jumping ship fuck him .


Mitt Romney is a Reagan/Goldwater Republican. Not a Trump Republican. And I understand that Trump Republicans are upset he will not just be silent and go along or go away.

People in the Republican Party mocked Goldwater for his criticism of the "moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to make a religious organization out of the Republican Party”. He lobbied for homosexuals to be able to serve openly in the military, opposed the Clinton administration's plan for health care reform, and supported abortion rights and the legalization of medicinal marijuana. But not for Goldwater and his middle finger to the establishment, Reagan would have never been President.

Romney is just standing up for what he believes; conservative libertarian values of personal responsibility, personal freedom, smaller government, free markets, capitalism and equal treatment for all. He is rightly pointing out the policies of the Trump establishment that are antithetical to historic conservative principles.

Hopefully people like Romney can save the Republican Party from those on both sides of the aisle that believe Government is the solution.

To be fair, would you not agree that the Republican Party has changed under Trump’s leadership versus under Reagan’s or Bush’s?

And if you agree, who then is the real Republican? Regan/Bush or Trump?

This the evening during transition Trump informed Romney not coming on board as SOS.

Trump is doing the dirty work typical politicians said they would do, but backed down under pressure.

Yeah the party is different, the cronyism of DC is reeling and in danger of no longer being able to hide the graft, corruption, and abuse of power from the citizens.

Your song has been sung over and again, but it doesn't address the things the media won't report or misreports.

I remember Goldwater. I voted for Reagan and both Bushes. I was pleased with each, yet they were no more true to conservative values or smaller government, etc than Trump. Each had obstacles and each addressed them, to a point. And each left solvable issues behind due to the politics of DC.

Romney on the other hand talked agame he had no intent on following up on. His effort to defeat Obama was pathetic and I like many others were thoroughly disgusted with what appeared to be a flop.

If not for Trump this nation would be going down the socialist shitter Obama started and piano legs was set to finish. The fraud and all the lies would have been buried. They under estimated the voting public and here we are.....

Romney cares not about this nation's welfare, he cares about the DC establishment you deny exists, yet support for one reason, your personal gain.

Honest question, how does his HC plan in Massachusetts fit into the Republican narrative?

I knew this was going to happen when he threw his hat in the ring to represent Utah. Following the 2002 Olympics Utahn's embraced him as one of their own. He was an easy shoe in because he's Mormon, and running as a Republican. No one here really took the time to look at what he did as Governor of Mass. His big baby was Universal Health Care which was basically the blueprint for Obamacare, and a subject Romney avoids like the plague. He is also a rather large Flip Flop artist. As Senate candidate in Mass he distanced himself from Reagan, but when he ran for President he couldn't say enough about how great he was. He's flipped on Global warming, gun control, and Obama's economic stimulus. He consistently represents himself as conservative, but his actions speak otherwise. Both Romney, and Lee are losing support in Utah. Most of us here voted for, and support Trump, and the work he is doing. Evidently Romney does not see that, nor does he care. I don't believe Romney has a long standing plan to represent Utah. His goal is the White House. I think Romney is basically a good man, but he is still a politician that will flip on a dime to get what he wants.


No No No... 530 says Romney is a true Republican, just like Flake. So 530 actually supports Big Government, and government picking winners and losers. 530 must be having a TDS flare up that is so bad what he types is antithetical to his actions and beliefs.

So Senators have their own security advisors now? More like he was an advisor in 2011 when Romney was our guy running for President. The fact that this guy is on the Burisma board is less of a tie to Romney than many Trump associates.

No doubt Romney is no friend of Trumps. Trump is a big boy he seems to be doing ok without Romney's support.

It sounds to me more like it’s a tie to democraps than it is to Trump. The name hunter biden comes to mind- fellow Burisma board member hunter biden that is.
