Analysis: Here's the price Sen. Romney is paying for standing against President Trump.

But surely the senator with the screen-ready silver-flecked hair might be forgiven if he doesn't know that silence is the oldest form of communication in the world's most deliberative — and talkative — body.

But, they contend, it shouldn't be difficult for a senator to say it's wrong for a president to ask foreign countries to interfere in American elections."He's staked out a position alone just by stating the obvious," said one of his advisers. About Romney's shots at Trump, most had harsh words for their junior senator, with many accusing him of harboring feelings of resentment and envy stemming from his failed 2012 bid and the Trump State Department saga.Kim Raff / for NBC News

I’m glad he is speaking out. Hope he doesn’t backpedal like Graham does.

He lost

If you found out that Mitt Romney killed someone would you put it on here?

It's his job as a citizen, esp a citizen servant to the public good, to stand up to wrongdoing. Consequences be damned. Go for it, Mitt. It's your sworn duty. Somebody has to do it. We hope and believe MittRomney will. Everything cannot be partisan.

Just another swamp creature paying the price for being a swamp creature. DesperateDemocrats

wars ronny not by the cia

MittRomney is a back stabbing RHINO!!

History will be kind, sooo worth it

I hope is restoring his manhood.

It’s good to see him make an attempt to honor his religious tenants and speak up. There is a political party responsible for enabling this President who is irreversibly harming the Nation, will we see him take it to task?

jonallendc What price? 'Owning the libs' or anyone else is not so satisfying anymore unless there's action. He's taking a stand and he's very popular in UT regardless of Trump.

jonallendc There isn’t a price to pay. I live in Utah. He’s fine, when he gets voted in again, he’ll be fine again. The lack of actual bipartisan groups in Utah pretty much confirms that

WHATS PEAECFUL SLEEP AND A GOOD CONIENCE

That headline is a scare tactic and totally unacceptable. Tell us how to be more Republicans should be like Romney

Oh my, what a tragic hero he is 🙄 He isn’t suffering any price. If anything, his tepid protest against Trump will be largely forgotten until he mentions it years later as how he was one of the few “defiant republicans”

Robber Baron, carpetbagger and suspected murderer MittRomney Romney should resign immediately!

Hardly anyone is pointing out the fact that the POTUS lied about being in the situation room during the attack. He was golfing!!

How about instead of discussing the perceived consequences of Romney taking a stand and standing by his convictions, point out how this should be the norm. The entire discussion is the opposite of what it should be. This narrative is the problem.

It is difficult to believe that people cannot see Trump’s corruption. The corruption is what Romney is against.

We love you.

Aw. Poor baby!

Lol, don’t even need to read this, he’s a loser and we don’t want him. You can have our sloppy seconds. 🇺🇸 MittRomney

SavedYouAClick

Who else is Utah gonna vote for?

Look at all these democrats supporting you Mittens. Switch sides and maybe you can know what it feels like not to be despised by your own party for once.

willard sucks

Prediction: Sen. Romney will replace MoscowMitch senatemajldr has the new senate minority republican leader in 2021.

Don’t like Mitt but he will soon be able to say “I told you so.”

More proof Republicans are really horrible people.

'You need to thank us for taking a stand' AnnRomney cindymccain ...Are you sure? Maybe we are thanking the wrong people too much for doing too little.

soup for the next 20 years out of gratitude AnnRomney cindymccain

Oh poor baby ...hes paying a price AnnRomney cindymccain ...As a matter of fact all of us are ...Mostly because his social class and higher typically does next to nothing for the rest of us ...A loss of $15 million from his net worth to save humanity? The poor will make him

Run against him Mitt

It’s his job to do oversight of the Executive Branch. .GOP = bunch of corrupt cowards. 👎 No honor among thieves.

Democrat under cover...

Thank you for speaking truth to power.

Hee so if Intel are given to President Trump that Biden are committing a crime he must keep quiet and don't ask other countries to investigate he can't send FBI then he will be bridging protocol

He needs to move to the Democratic Party. More suited to him.

If Sen. Romney is a strong leader with character, he won't be fazed or bothered by anything Trump loyalists say and do. Good leaders don't let this type of criticism, etc, get under their skin. They stand tall and continue professional leadership and rise above the noise.

Evidently he’s one of the few with the balls to do it.

The Republican Party has turned into a cult.

Good job, Senator, you are honest, and voters will praise the senators who condemn wrong doing of the president, you are condemning the acts, not the person, more should be so honest

He has morals. A small price to pay for sleeping well at night and for standing before jesus with pride

And the price we pay for the delay in standing up for the American people is.... OUR TAX MONEY IS BEING STOLEN DAILY RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES. Ohh and people are dying...i think many are paying the greater price other than the Mousy Mitt Romney. Cowards don't get praise.

hes a helmet butthurt hell never be president. i can't believe isn't bankrupt yet

Senator Romney is right in condemning trump its time for the rest of the Moscow Mitch tribe to follow suit.

PRICE..?.Republicans should shun Romney as the Amish and some other groups would do ..Romney is a rich spoiled brat who like Hillary can never accept that he “won’t and can’t” ever be President USA...Trump should NEVER EVER trust Mitt Romney...!!

MittRomney When going through hell, keep going.

The price has been his reputation ... he went from statesman like to whimpering whelp. You would have thought Carlos Danger would have warned MittRomney about his pal Pierre Delecto.

Proof that the grand old party of Lincoln has become the new fascists. They should care more about the Constitution than their party. They should care more about the country than the President. They should care more about doing the right thing than their jobs. GOPComplicit

YOU CANT PUT A PRICE on preserving a man’s INTEGRITY. Romney is preserving his legacy and his good name by speaking out against a tyrant when the rest of the COWARDLY Republicans are keeping their mouth shut and letting a tyrant do whatever he wants to do.

Don’t worry Mittens, you’ll have TONS of friends again soon

At least one GOP doesn't blindly follow the orange menace ImpeachTrumpNow

Oh please. This is dumb.

The most appalling info in this article is that some people believe there is still a Republican party. That ship has sailed. And it sank.

LindseyGrahamSC GOP Many people are saying trump is unfit to be president

MittRomney is a rich white Mormon male from Utah who still has five years before he has to run again. He will be a Utah senator for as long as he wants. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain by speaking out.

You misspelled 'Romney is being exposed as a corrupt politician by President Trump'.

Someone has to.

Conservatives realizing he is a buffoon!

This is no price he hasn't been paying on an ongoing basis since he first ran for office.

What ever the price it isn’t enough. The traitor ought to bleed.

I wish I could take my vote for him in 2012 back!!! Not quite as bad as Obama Bin Laden but close...

on the flip side, consider the cost of not standing against trump

It doesn't matter what price as far as I'm concerned. I'm ignorant to the fact regarding many issues! imnotscaredasinglebit letsgo imhereforwhatsright

I call this for what it is TDS clear & simple not games played by this liberal media.

Not a SenatorRomney fan because he's tone deaf to average kitchen table economics and I believe would try to push his religious beliefs on the country. But the man is stand up generally speaking and shoots straight.

History will be very kind to him. He should be proud that he did the right thing and stood up to evil when he saw it.
