I hope every county party in Utah and the @UtahGOP
 censure @MittRomney
 for his outrageous decision to convict Trump. Absolutely disgraceful.

Mitt Romney currently sits on the Committee on Foreign Relations, the Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP), the Committee on Homeland Security & Government Affairs (HSGAC), and the Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship.

Remove him from all four and ban him from any future committee assignments.

And make sure he understands this is pure retaliation.

Meanwhile, the good folks in Utah should mobilize a grassroots effort demanding this bitter effers resignation; and not stop until they get it.  Keep storming his offices in Utah and Washington.

Replace him with a reliable conservative.

 I'll repeat here what I have said elsewhere numerous times. IMHO Mitt Romney is a low life, self serving POS. And always has been.

I don’t care how it looks. I wish they would do that, too. We can’t trust his judgement. There is no way he believes what he just said on the floor. He has an agenda that is not in our country’s interest.

Now I wish I'd voted for Obama over this creep.  He is way lower than Obama.

[libertybele]

Not surprised in the least.  I'm only hoping now that Romney has made his case that others in the GOP don't follow his path.  That still is a possibility here.  Until he's acquitted, anything can still happen.  I'm still bracing for removal.

Uh... no.   Hell no.   I could never vote for ANY damned Democrat.   But looking back (hindsight).... I do wish I had sat that one out or voted 3rd party.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

I think the absolute best way for the President and other Republicans to address this is to just ignore him.  Essentially act as though he really doesn't matter at all, because ultimately, he doesn't.  Going off on him will just put more microphones in front of his face, and draw even more attention to him so that he can pontificate further.  But ignoring him, and pretending his vote was inconsequential...that's how you deal with a guy like him because he wants the attention.

That strategy worked beautifully for the President last night.  By not mentioning impeachment, he actually diminished it and made it irrelevant.  Now do the same to Romney.

I wouldn’t go that far, but I’m sorry to everyone here from TOS who tried to warn me about him back then. Everything you told us was true and please accept my apology for not believing you then.

He is an exact  copy of his father who was equally worthless.

Romney will have his 15mins of fame.....with the Dems but will be persona non grata in DC and the GOP....

If Trump wins in November, Romney will be in the absolute wilderness.

If Trump doesn't, then any Dem other than Bernie or Warren likely will give him a cabinet spot as the token Republican.

Who has the ability to ban him??  Mitch?  If so, not going to happen.

Unfortunately, the good folks of Utah love him, otherwise he wouldn't be in the seat that he's in. He is a Mormon and a member of the LDS church -- they aren't going to turn their back on him.

Romney had better be able to make due with all the rat media love his performance will gain him.

Obviously he plans to run as the principled stalwart against the Trump legacy in 2024. That, not his religion, motivates him.

But the ground has shifted in such a way a born politician like Romney will never be able to discern, or if they do, accept. He's toast.

It's a despicable betrayal of the party. It won't hurt Trump much but it's a stab in the back to vulnerable colleagues like Collins.

All he had to say was that conviction would have been warranted in his opinion but the decision was better left to voters.

If he was already going to convict Trump, why did he need to hear from more "witnesses"?

Good question. Too bad Chris Wallace was incapable of asking it.

Clearly 'guilty' was Romney's default position.

IMO, you're all missing something here.

1) The Democrat Party is ripe for takeover.
2) Mitt Romney is looking ahead to 2024...as a Democrat in the JFK or Scoop Jackson mold.

It's all there for him....the niche.

That could be in his head, but no way would the woke Dems ever vote for him. It would be fun to watch them humiliate him though.

Romney is on top of my S List.  I'll take ANY Democrat over Romney right now.

Mitt is signing his on political death warrant today.

Disagree.

They 'love' him like we 'loved' him back in the Summer of '12... the vehicle to stop the criminal Obama Administration.

The don't love him as they love President Trump and what he's accomplished and has planned for the next 4 years.

He needs to be stripped of his Committee seats immediately.  Otherwise the lessons President Trump has given the GOP these past 4 years (come July) will be for naught.

FORCE him to join the Democrats...and then let's see what the Utahns do with him.

Also, Romney is voting to convict because Mitch McConnell released him to do it.

If Mitch needed Romney's vote to acquit, Romney would have done it.

Remember, this is all theater.

Food for thought:

It's up to the folks in Utah to rectify this situation.
