I go way back with the Utah senator.
In trying to come to terms with his career, I am reminded that perfect candidates don’t exist. All politicians are self-interested, but only some rise to the occasion when decency, courage, honesty and independence are required. Nevertheless, history will remember him and treat him well. Romney demonstrated uncommon patriotism, integrity and valor at critical times. He honorably represented his constituents. He shamed other Republicans by his example.
Perhaps freed from public office, he will take the next, logical step and help defeat a dangerous authoritarian, racist MAGA movement; ally himself with fellow democracy defenders to defeat Trump and his ilk; and then summon other conservatives of conscience to remake his party or form a new party that is worthy of competing for the votes of his fellow Americans. If he does all that, he will join the rarefied ranks of those who gave their all for their country, like John McCain.
