Romney 'sickened' by Trump's behavior in Mueller report

I can't believe the stupidity being uttered by Sen Romney. He was a pathetic presidential candidate and appears to be heading toward being a worse senator.
"Sickened" by the lawbreaking of the president? What about the law breaking of Hillary, Comey, Brennen, Clapper, Strzok et al? I suppose that was just a friendly framing/trashing of the Republican candidate then President; all in fun by a group of Good 'ol boys.
He needs to get his out on straight and look at what the Dems are really doing and support the president or at least keep his mouth shut.

    I'll take Trump's "disgusting" integrity over ANY leftist. Also, after his stated opinion that the WAPO's "story" about Judge Roy Moore's early courtships in the 80s and 90s was "credible", I will take Trump's integrity over Ben Shapiro's, too. Like Ann Coulter who, it appears, did a nice paid job being a "pied piper" for HRC, Shapiro also appears to be on some nefarious payrolls.

    I'd be careful in judging Romney too harshly, because from a policy standpoint, he was and remains a conservative. Romney made no accusations of collusion or obstruction - merely that there were a lot of revelations in the Mueller Report about Trump's personal integrity which he found disgusting. And he's not wrong there. Ben Shapiro came to the same conclusions: no illegal behavior on Trump's part, but certainly some questionable ethical standards: https://www.dailywire.com/news/46163/...

    Huckabee is directly responsible for McCain getting the 2008 bid for President and thus Obama getting elected President.

    At the critical point in the 2008 Republican Primary, there were four candidates remaining: John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Guiliani, and Mitt Romney. Only Romney polled well nationally. Huckabee was a Christian evangelist and only appealed to the Deep South. Guiliani only polled well in his home state of New York - as well as other progressive bastions such as California. McCain polled second to Romney except in his home state.

    Guiliani - seeing that he wasn't going anywhere - dropped out of the running. As he and McCain were the "centrists" running, that gave most of Guiliani's voters to him - pushing him over the top of Romney. Huckabee should have bowed out months prior but couldn't stand the thought of a Mormon running for President so he stayed in to split the conservative portion of the Republican vote and prevent Romney from winning the Primary - which in a head-to-head with McCain he (Romney) would have won handily.

    I respect his daughter, Sarah, but Huckabee is a political hack.

    I think Romney dreams of inheriting the McCain mantle as a "maverick" opposition within the GOP, now that it's pretty much been reshaped by Trump. As the late senator would have told him, it gets lonely when your only "friends" are a President-hating media.

    Read what Romney actually said. Romney didn't accuse the President of collusion or even obstruction. What he pointed out was the moral issues that have always been part and parcel of Donald Trump. And there was plenty there in the Mueller Report - stuff that wasn't illegal, just immoral. Ben Shapiro points out exactly the same things in his analysis of the Mueller Report: https://www.dailywire.com/news/46163/...

    Trump isn't a saint. That doesn't mean he hasn't done positive things for this country or that he should be impeached. (And it is that kind of sentiment that we should be looking out for of any Republican.)

    What I thought was funny was how many reporters were now willing to acknowledge that they mocked Romney for his statements that Russia was still the biggest threat to the United States (during the 2012 campaign against Obama).

    Did anyone ever read 'Three Men in a Boat' about Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin? Very interesting read.
    My mother used to say, 'Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!' This could happen and a lot of folks will wonder 'what happened'.

    Me dino may have voted for the Libertarian, but that still would have been a throw away vote for that communist Muslim.

    I have exactly the same sentiment, Dino.

    Had I known what a slime Romney was, there is no way I would have voted for him.

    Although not voting would have meant one more for the communist Muslim.

    As Rush so aptly put it these swamp dwelling Republicans are seventy-five years out of date. They think that they are acting like gentlemen and presidential when all they are doing is acting like the idiots and losers that they are.

    When me dino voted for Mitt for being a "lesser of two evils" against a Muslim so-called socialist wannabe commie crook, I did not fully know as I do now what a rancid RINO he is.
    If I had, I may have just stayed at home like so many other Republicans had. And maybe me into ad hominems shoulda been calling Mitt a Mutt instead.

    Yes, it is an enviable position to be the jackass of the GOP.

    No wonder Romney aspired to qualify upon the passing of the "tortured one".

    And to think that I voted for this idiot!

    Never liked his wooden personality but having no other choice but Hussein, Romney was the default.

    Despite his disastrous performance in the last debate when he passed opportunities to nail Hussein, never mentioning Benghazi which was fresh out of the oven.

    We were told he "acted presidential". My foot, he has never been presidential. Even a nitwit like Hussein beat him.

    Ex-Senator Flake could gibve Romney a run for his money. He recently stated that he might support the Demoncrates in 2020.

    Yes, who cares what he thinks.
    Which brings to mind the old nursery rhyme, Rub a dub dub three men in a tub...Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, and Bill Kristol, let's put them out to sea. No one would miss them.

    I noticed the article doesn't cite any specific examples of exactly what "sickened" Romney. There were regurgitations of the typical Neo Communist blanket whining about "dishonesty" and "misdirection", but nothing cited as an example of such behavior. Romney is just another deep state loser that deserves to choke on tar-n-feather soup. At this point it sickens me to remember I actually wasted a vote on that creep. I should have stayed home that day.

    Your lead in paragraph, mminnick, sums it up well.

    "Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee lashed out at Sen. Mitt Romney after the Utah Republican said he was “sickened” by the level of dishonesty from President Trump’s administration in response to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s redacted report into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

    “Know what makes me sick, Mitt? Not how disingenuous you were to take @realDonaldTrump $$ and then 4 yrs later jealously trash him & then love him again when you begged to be Sec of State, but makes me sick that you got GOP nomination and could have been @POTUS," Huckabee tweeted Friday.

    I am extremely weary of hearing from these 'leftist loonies' regarding how they 'feel'. As Rhett Butler would have said to Miss Scarlett, 'Quite frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!'

    You said it all, dear! Poor baby! If that makes him sick, he certainly doesn't have the stomach to be in politics today!

    Pot calling the kettle black.
    Romney is a disgusting statist looter (agent of the swamp) who will do anything to steal power from others.

    I don't understand what Senator Romeny is saying because I have not followed it, but it has nothing to do with what other politicians are doing. More than one politician breaking the law makes it worse, not better.
