WASHINGTON – When Sen. Mitt Romney met with constituents this month in his home state of Utah, he didn’t shy away from the topic that has put him in the national spotlight: his tensions with President Donald Trump.
Romney said he didn’t conduct the impromptu poll because he was having second thoughts about voicing his opinions, but, instead, to show constituents that they can respectfully disagree with one another. If the House adopts articles of impeachment against Trump, the Republican-controlled Senate would then have to weigh whether to remove the president from office. Removal would require a vote by two-thirds of the Senate, meaning at least 20 of the 53 Republicans would have to defy Trump if every Democrat supported conviction.
Pierre Delecto: Mitt Romney explains how he came up with the Pierre Delecto Twitter name, says his son made the fake account "Trump can’t afford to have a lot of Mitt Romneys in the Senate so he’s going to push back very hard on the one that’s there right now in hope of discouraging his colleagues from joining him," said Conant, a former aide to Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio."I try and do what I think is right,” Romney, the former 2012 Republican presidential nominee, told USA TODAY in a 30-minute interview in his Washington office.
The Mormon faith, which Romney shares, has shaped Utah’s political landscape in ways that make Trump a more controversial figure than he is in other Republican states, said Utah State University political science professor Damon Cann. Relaxing in one of his office's mahogany chairs, Romney spoke about his family, his favorite sports figures and recalled the hunt for a good cheeseburger during his time as a missionary in Paris in the 1960s. At the time, he could only find the American classic in the U.S. embassy cafeteria.
After the president denounced Romney as a “pompous ass” earlier this month, the senator heard from his 2012 running mate – former House Speaker Paul Ryan. "Mitt Romney is a man of integrity and unassailable character," Ryan said in a statement for this story to USA TODAY."I know Mitt will continue to speak loudly and clearly on the issues that matter most, advancing conservative principles and making crystal clear what America’s role in the world should be."
Unbelievable how hypocritical and unethical the republican party is right now. They created many of these rules yet they won't even stand by what they created. Just pathetic.
Pierre Delecto.
This fake Republican is a lefty democrat is sheep clothes, old and useless
Don't wimp out Mitt! You are taking the stand that is the crowning glory of your career. Hold your conviction as though it's your very soul. Because it is! This is what serving your country looks like

“Mittens stole his name Pierre Delecto from me!” ~ Pupierre Delecto Premier Derelict needs to spend less time worrying about Twitter names and more time figuring out how to keep the delinquent teenagers from gluing my mailbox shut. They know I have arthritis! I had to whack it with my shoe. Pierre is nothing but an extension of his fragile ego, and resentment of his failed Presidentialrun... should have used 'Hillary Clinton' as his pseudonym.
