Romney: I will speak out against Trump on issues of 'substantial significance'

Source: The Hill

Mitt Romney said Sunday he will continue to speak out against President Trump when he sees fit, but acknowledged that he agrees with a number of the president's policies.

Romney, who is running for U.S. Senate in Utah, penned an op-ed for The Salt Lake Tribune, in which he sought to clarify his stance on Trump, whom Romney has alternately criticized and praised dating back to his own 2012 presidential campaign.

"If you elect me your senator, I will fight with vigor for the interests of our state and nation. I will endorse the president’s policies that support those interests. Hopefully, there will be few occasions where I will be compelled by conscience to criticize," Romney wrote.

"But, as I have said throughout this campaign, I will call them like I see them. Last week, the president said that I’m a straight shooter; I will endeavor to be just so," he added.

Being your own man there mittens.... ...............lets step back and repeat what you fucking said............from yesteryear's

"If you elect me your senator, I will fight with vigor for the interests of our state and nation. I will endorse the president’s policies that support those interests. Hopefully, there will be few occasions where I will be compelled by conscience to criticize," Romney wrote.

Your a greedy asshole, just like the sexual predator, you will rubber stamp the sexual predator and his judicial picks, I want to know if Articles of Impeachment are presented and it is found that the traitor is a traitor..........................what would you do, and will continue selling off companies to make a buck.

And as for the "vigor for interest of our state and nation and endorse the policies" of what you and he did asshole.....................your a racists POS.....................

Vulture capitalism.

https://www.thenation.com/article/mitt-romneys-bailout-bonanza/

Made millions shutting down factories and outsourcing jobs.

Mitt is an animal.

His opponent should attack him relentlessly.

Romney is EVIL.

His god is money. Period.

"he and his wife, Ann, personally gained at least $15.3 million from the bailout—and a few of Romney’s most important Wall Street donors made more than $4 billion. Their gains, and the Romneys’, were astronomical—more than 3,000 percent on their investment."

They build adjacent McMansions in Salt Lake City in a forested, gated community. Friend did some work on them. I swear Josh's house has a White House-like Rose Garden pillered walkway between buildings.

.Did I mliss his comment against trumpf's policy of torturing and abusing refugee children--taken from their parents? Maybe I missed his tweet, speech chastising, demanding trump to reunite these families now? Maybe I missed his advocacy for the poor, the sick, disabled...this guy is worse than guy in WH and no different from many, excuse me,all republikkklans --in that they hide behind their religious beliefs...he, -----[Romney] gop are nothing but hypocrites. It is nauseating to watch him grovel at trumpf's, feet. Romney is a sniveling spinless snake! And perhaps he has spoken out, but as with all republikkklans watch what they do, not what they say.


[Romney]

"I have and will continue to speak out when the president says or does something which is divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions," Romney wrote. "I do not make this a daily commentary; I express contrary views only when I believe it is a matter of substantial significance."

....they will take care of those who convert is the promise. Those that to convert are loyal. I read some time ago that Romney's relatives and or family habe Mormon compound with a church, school somewhere in Mexico. My issue is the There is no place hypocracy in religion, no matter what affiliation, yet unfortunately that is where hypocrites seem to reside.

I'd they practicedwltheir beliefs which are universal --kindness, generosity, love...the issue of the refugee children, their families would move them all to act vehemently, wth one voice. Yet, it sea unless they are children of their faith they care otherwise, they look the other way at injusticea suffered by others. [Where are the Jewish, catholic, protesttsnts, buddist, Islamic communities...if thet all acted in concert ...they're voice would be powerful. Yet, history had proven that even the most powerful religious groups have ignored, been silent when it comes to crimes against humanity...yet, we cannot wait for them to act..we must act! When one sees their hypocracy ...one is repulsed by religion.


Ps. Sorry inadvertently sent original unedited post; has been updated and hope it reads somewhat coherent.

before he arose? He went to South America and preached to the Indians there.

All those hieroglyphs from the Inca and Maya and Aztec stone pillars? Those really tell the story of Christ before he ascended.
