Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) may be one of the last old-time Republicans of honor and commitment. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) was another. Donald Trump’s party has sent its roots deeply into the GOP deadening the tenants and belief systems as it spread. Trumpism is a party of anger, righteousness, rage, and myopic attitudes with all the mindless tenacity of a pitbull. Romney was the only Republican senator to vote for the president’s impeachment and was duly punished.
Senator Romney writes on his Senate page that “Talk is cheap, but action is essential:”
‘Talk is cheap, but action is essential if we are to overcome the challenges facing our families, our state, and our nation. My record of getting things done in the private sector, community, and government is evidence that I can and will do what needs to be done for the people of Utah.’
Here is how the senator sees the state of the country at this time. Note how he crossed out text in order to ride the fence home. What he omitted is most important, and that is most likely his intent. He red-lined this on his Twitter page:
‘But I’m troubled by our politics, as it has moved away from spirited debate to a vile, vituperative, hate-filled morass that is unbecoming of any free nation–let alone the birthplace of modern democracy.’
In this paragraph, he crossed out one sentence:
‘The rabid attacks kindle the conspiracy mongers and the haters who take the small and predictable step from intemperate world to dangerous action.’
Last, Romney crossed out this:
‘It is time to lower the heat. Leaders must tone it down. Leaders from the top and leaders of all stripes.’
The Senator’s message is shown below in its entirety:
‘My thoughts on the current state of our politics:’
