He gets a second chance due to Iowa fucking up, and there not being a clear winner there.
GOP are scathing at Romney because it forces them to face their own delusional reality they've built around Trump. Without 100% undying loyalty to him and their belief that Trump is beyond reproach, they are faced with the true reality in which they are stanning and covering-up for a straight up criminal. It's easier when that delusion isn't disrupted by pesky truth tellers.
It's kinda like when a racist lashes out because they were called racist.

Trying to pick up those Obama supporters that are losing faith in Biden, love it. 😂
Today?
I think Mitt probably. He'd get the disaffected republican vote back, which would bring the suburbs in line with him. Trump would have his base, Sanders would have his base. I think Biden would be a distant 4th
Jeff Flake @JeffFlakeI have long admired Mitt Romney, but never more than today. What an honorable man. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/with-his-vote-to-convict-trump-on-abuse-of-power-romney-will-break-with-his-party--and-awaits-the-consequences/2020/02/05/a76dce74-4841-11ea-ab15-b5df3261b710_story.html …

Multiple pieces posted the last few pages. But that's why I said he is lucky that impeachment is covering his campaign being shit
Susan: I hope the guy that has been committing crimes his entire life has learned his lesson after I dont hold him accountable. 🥴
It is amazing how the GOP is treating their last presidential candidate before Trump. A few years ago he was their top guy to run the country, now he is the bad guy? If you would go back in time and tell someone a fucking moron reality TV show host, womanizer, accused rapist, mobster, money launderer, and Russian asset was the GOP's golden god and Mitt Romney was dogmeat to them you would be laughed at. We are truly living in an Onion article, and it just shows how far down into the cesspool the Republicans have fallen.
The Jennifer Rubin quip right underneath calling her weak is chef's kiss delicious.

It's amazing how this is the perfect visual representation of the metaphor "making a deal with the devil". There will never be a picture as perfect as this one.You reap what you sow.
Didn't the exit polls show an uptick on 18-24 overall? At least I thought CNNs was.
Yesssssssssss. Good shit. I think Manchin will stay the line after Romney.
RAGE VETO
In Sanders' defense, caucuses suck, and kids hate doing stuff that suck.
He mentions this in the thread. Exit polls have a larger margin of error basically as I understand it.
I really wanna hear that cash "heads on piles" shit they were talking about earlier this year.
C'mon, try to mess Romney up. Ronna too just for the relations.
I had a feeling this was going to happen, but I'm still stunned.
In a normal world, Lamar Alexander, Murkowski, and Collins would be voting to convict along with him. But they twisted themselves in knots to defy reality and even their own logic in order to avoid excommunication from Trump World. So I was ready for Romney to play the same game of Twister even if it defied his own logic.
But I'm glad Mittens actually came through and reminded us we're not all crazy for thinking Abuse of Power from a President is unacceptable and deserving of removal. Also props to him for knowing the vicious incoming he's going to receive from Trump World but still standing by his principles with the eye on history while every other Republican in Congress (House & Senate) can't see beyond their own reelection or lobbying career.
And as a side benefit, Mittens probably just insured Collins doesn't get reelected.
Yeah, his call for censure was his olive branch to the gop. They spat at the offer and now he can say he can't in good conscience let the president get away scot free when the trial was a sham.
I mean, I might be completely misrembering the 2012 election, but didn't a large amount of it boil down to comparison's between Obamacare and Romney's health insurance plan he enacted while Governor of Massachusetts (Romneycare)? He would never go for single payer, but hardly anyone is arguing for that. Yes, he would be significantly more conservative than basically any Democrat (and he'd definitely prefer a Scalia to an RBG), but I could see him hopping on that train for healthcare, depending on how it ultimately gets structured. Kind of a meaningless thought exercise regardless because he's not going to stop calling himself a Republican barring complete excommunication on behalf of party officials and I don't see them taking that drastic a step.
If she had any dignity she would try it but fall flat on her ass anyways but she can't even begin to try cuz she sucks that badly
You know it's funny because this can easily describe a ton of posters here regarding Clinton/Obama lol
he referenced something about "hoping he'll change" isn't a solution or something. Was a pretty good speech.
He referenced the facts that, sure, one "could hope the President" changes, in a not so subtle jab at her.
Kelly O'Donnell @KellyO.@VP "We have strong support in the state of Utah..." Pence says the headline today will be the president is acquitted and not the @SenatorRomney vote.
