Sen. Mitt Romney brushed off Democrats for complaining about the Senate’s decision to follow trial rules similar to those used during President Bill Clinton’s impeachment. Romney, 72, the junior senator for Utah and 2012 Republican presidential nominee, has been one of the few Senate Republicans to question President Trump’s behavior in the events that led to impeachment, but he claimed that Democrats have taken their protests too far. While speaking to CNN on Monday, the Utah senator criticized his Democratic colleagues for opposing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's version of the impeachment trial rules that were used during Clinton’s impeachment.

If you're from Uath, call this doorstop and let him know how you feel about all this. I do believe he could be persuaded to do the right thing if enough let him know he will not get their votes come reelection.

“The Utah senator criticized his Democratic colleagues.....”
I think that says it all, “colleagues.”

Even a broke (analog) clock is right twice a day.
It's sad when Mittens is wrong so often that, when he gets something right, it's actually news!!!!

Busted clocks are right twice a day. Mittens ain't near that batting average yet.

A broken analogue clock is indeed right at least twice a day. This was one of them. When was the other time Romney was right today?

WOW! Who woke Rummey up?
But, unfortunately only half awake. He still wants to talk to Bolton? Why? If there are no crimes specified, why do you need witnesses? It was up to the House to make the case for convicting Trump. It is not the job of the Senate to scrounge around and build a case. Whose side are you on Rummey? This has been a big nothingburger since it started. Only partisan nitwits think otherwise. Even if Trump had a thought that investigating Biden would be a good political move, so what? Dems can't be investigated? There is a LOT of public information, including Biden's own brags, that show Biden's guilt. He deserves an investigation far more than Trump does. Rummey KNOWS all this (or he is a much bigger idiot than I thought) and he is just being a jerk.

If you call every RINO disgusting and deceitful, they are still disgusting and deceitful. Use other adjectives as needed. If you couldn't beat Barack Obama in a debate or an election you are also stupid. That applies to Romney as well as the former Navy jet pilot who became a negative ace for losing three planes.

Maybe impeachment sham is even too much for this gelatinous worm.

Mitt Mittt Mitt You got elected in UTAH. I would sing Hallaluyah except I would be missing the 50 part harmony. I'm pretty sure there weren't ANY Mormons around back (Bach?) in Handel's day.

Romney's giving President Trump's enemies advice, urging them to be more selective and, thus, more effective. His other statement makes this clear.
FTA: "Romney said he would be supportive of hearing testimony from additional witnesses, saying, 'I’m interested in hearing from John Bolton, perhaps, among others.'”
