Mitt Romney Surprisingly Votes to Convict Donald Trump: The Ups and (Many) Downs of Their Relationship
Mitt Romney never knew how to win. He is a pompous “ass” who has been fighting me from the beginning, except when he begged me for my endorsement for his Senate run , and when he begged me to be Secretary of State . He is so bad for R’s!The Democrats are lucky that they don’t have any Mitt Romney types. They may be lousy politicians, with really bad policies , but they stick together!One persistent issue for Trump was Romney’s occasional criticism rather than unfailing support.
“I had the hope that he would be able to say something exculpatory and create reasonable doubt, so I wouldn’t have to vote to convict,” Romney told the magazine, adding, “I did not want to get here.” Romney insisted that he would not vote for Trump in 2020, knowing that he would remain in office following Wednesday’s long-anticipated acquittal. Instead, he told“I get that a lot — ‘Be with the president,’ ” Romney told. “And I’ll say, ‘Regardless of his point of view? Regardless of the issue?’ And they say yes. And … it’s like, ‘Well, no, I can’t do that.’ ”
