PostOpinions The pot calling the kettle black! He's President, you're not MAGA

PostOpinions I think after getting Trump's support and then turning on him like a snake, we can all see who has charecter issues.

PostOpinions And water is wet.

PostOpinions I hope the all the journalists & pundits doing somersaults over this meaningless op-ed from such a fickle human being remember this when MittRomney inevitably casts that crucial vote for one of Trump's idiotic policies or his horrendous nominees like the good stooge he is.

PostOpinions Mitt cares about 1% of population. Trump cares about all. Mitt like Bush & Clinton erases jobs & businesses.

PostOpinions He won you did not

PostOpinions Was he elected President? Perhaps it is projection! Imposing his own inadequacies on another? Just Asking for a Friend?😎

PostOpinions

PostOpinions He a Democrat running as a Republican, aka back stabber.

PostOpinions I used to respect him

PostOpinions I remember when I didn’t get a job at a furniture delivery store and then I told everyone that it was a shitty store and the manager was a dickhead

PostOpinions The God Almighty Mitt Romney is not President and Donald Trump is. BALLSOFSTEEL

PostOpinions He speaks out of both orifices. He may do some good in bringing the GOP to get with it on rump, but in the long run, he's 'corrupted his brand' irretrievably. And so be it. Another dinosaur.

PostOpinions If we wanted the status quo, we would have elected Mittens. The status quo, aka 'Mantle' has been self serving for elite.

PostOpinions And you do?

PostOpinions

PostOpinions Lol so upset he’s not in the cabinet

PostOpinions Romney is stupid and will never be president. It’s going to be fun watching Trump discipline him and show America how pathetic Romney really is.

PostOpinions 1st, no kidding. This is not a revelation. 2nd, Romney? Really? '47% of Americans pay no income tax' and 'binders full of women.' I'll never forget that. Or his magic underpants. Nope. Not ever. Full quote on the 47% follows for those who've forgotten.

PostOpinions Let’s see if he votes against Trump policies.

PostOpinions Call me when he votes against Trumps agenda (he won't) Wasn't that long ago he was slobbering all over him.

PostOpinions Typical, you only praise and like RINOs that lose to liberals.

PostOpinions He’s said more after he ran for president than he ever did while he was running years ago. That’s like talking trash after you lost. Where were you then.

PostOpinions MittRomney pines for the old gentleman politician days of Corker and Flake; you know, when being an establishment RINO who did nothing all day but clap each other on the back was applauded! Screw results! GoTrump

PostOpinions The only thing Romney will be president of is the senate if the Mormons re-elect him enough times and some day the republicans are the majority the he is the oldest old fart there.

PostOpinions After, begging Trump for political endorsement. His 'Jeff Flake' finally emerged.

PostOpinions The Utah Mormon crowd are not the epitome of goodness after the crap they pulled in California, funding measures of prejudice. But were it to come down to magical underwear vs a two-bit trash talker, magical underwear would be preferable as the GOP candidate.

PostOpinions No POTUS doesn't. POTUS works for us. At least this one does

PostOpinions May this be a watershed moment followed by a red tsunami to stop DT from the complete destruction of the presidency and its influence.

PostOpinions Says the guy who asserted that 47% of American voters were freeloaders. Tell us more about the “character of the nation,” Mittens.

PostOpinions Arizona is losing JeffFlake...but it appears that Utah has gained him.

PostOpinions So did his character. He lost his presidential bid didn’t he?

PostOpinions Character? Do as you will but I’m not giving him a chamber warming gift. Romney did not speak out against 45’s birtherism. He was willing to be in 45’s administration which is an embrace. I know what courage looks like and this isn’t it.

PostOpinions Like Romney’s.,

PostOpinions Remember when Vanessa Williams was Miss America. She was beautiful and different. Everyone embraced her. Then came the ugly. The next year a Mormon girl from Utah with a big nose was chosen. She was safe and there was no ugly the committee had to worry about. Sees parable?

PostOpinions Seems he falls short on getting a Presidential nomination . . . shit happens, lol.

PostOpinions And what higher calling are you offering, another tax break for the rich. LMAO.

PostOpinions The president is not a messiah-Not one of them were or are perfect-Same goes for the 9 justices and the 535 elected members of Congress- If you want a polite and dignified leader we need a monarch like Queen Elizabeth who stays about the fray. Instead we have what we have.

PostOpinions when he votes against Trump, then is when it matters. Romney liked Trump's tax cut though, because it lined his own pockets just right.

PostOpinions It always has, but idiots still voted for him.

PostOpinions Chameleon!

PostOpinions Please. people. The deficit has been running up for years. Where have you all been? There is blame on both sides. Blame does nothing to work on reducing it. Working TOGETHER does. Doing nothing ensures economic collapse one of these ddys.

PostOpinions

PostOpinions *NOBODY* cares what Mitt Romney thinks.

PostOpinions Walk the talk! You went to that W H following the swearing in, got laughed at, and won a senate seat. Let's see how you cow tow in the Senate. You'll be the new Mitch McConnel! Chump!

PostOpinions Or so says Mitt 47% Romney, champion of the people. The guy in the magic underwear to the rescue. JFC.

PostOpinions

PostOpinions Don't you an American company to raid

PostOpinions Oh, please. Let's not forget MittRomney had dinner w/ him AFTER the p-grabbing, after he ridiculed a Gold Star family, after he ridiculed a handicapped reporter. He's a sanctimonious tool and deserves no credit for speaking out only when doing so benefits his future ambitions.

PostOpinions Mitt Romney believes in the Book of Mormon. His judgment should be questioned constantly.

PostOpinions Might seem like this flake is showing some sass, but since he’ll vote with Trump 99% of the time, he should just cork ‘er up.

PostOpinions FFS. Romney translation: He was right to pass the taxscam and create a frightening deficit which benefits me but, I want to be President, so I’m going to be more polite while supporting his policies which benefit me so people will see a difference. 🙄

PostOpinions Well Mitt...the fact is America voted for Trumps character and rejected yours. America re-elected a lying con artist Community Organizer and not you in 2012. America sees you as part of the problem, not the solution. Rep Utah and stay out of National issues. Okay? 🤬

PostOpinions Another vulture capitalist not even sworn in already running for higher office fukhim

PostOpinions The first, only legitimate, honest, indication if Romney means what he says is when he crosses the aisle to stand against Trump in a Senate vote & not just posturing in the media. Seen enough of that from Corker, Flake, Collins, Sasso, Rubio, et al. Otherwise just an empty drum

PostOpinions Too wishy-washy for me. An opportunist at heart.

PostOpinions Mitt was Never President

PostOpinions Let's not forget, Deep Swamp Loser Romney is NOT THE PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES! REMEMBER Romney LOST the Election to Obama!

PostOpinions And the LOSER, Romney, who created wealth by destroying PEOPLE, is arbiter of 'Character' Fancy Underwear makes you say really strange things.

PostOpinions More like he's reinstating traditional values, youre a fellow LDS member, you should now that. I actually voted for you in 2012 breh, I thought you kicked Obama's ass in all the debates. I watched them with my very Mormon grandparents, who guess what?Voted realDonaldTrump MAGA

PostOpinions Remember the good old days when the Tea Party were the Right Wing of the GOP?, today Mitt Romney sounds positively Leftist compared to the Trumpanzees.

PostOpinions So will Mitt be voting against Trumps policy ends or is he merely taking over the Jeff Flake role of fine words and zero deeds.

PostOpinions Donald Trump has more character than the extreme leftist in the other party!

PostOpinions Actions words MittRomney

PostOpinions mitt is the new jeff flake.

PostOpinions Looks like 'Mittens' is coming unraveled already. LOL

PostOpinions Actions speak louder than words. Its alright to talk the talk MittRomney but will you walk the walk too?

PostOpinions Yea, all for the Iraq war and the never ending wars. Has 5 sons and not one of them in uniform. It is a good that his lack of character never got in the White House

PostOpinions Actually he doesn't, the president is only someone most people only see on TV. I would say ones upbringing and circumstances shapes their character.

PostOpinions When we lost John McCain -Jeff Flake I thought no one in the Republican Party would have balls to stand up to TRUMP! Way to go Mitt Romney!!

PostOpinions

PostOpinions Coming from a failed candidate who begged for trumps endorsement

PostOpinions Trump is the Great Ever President

PostOpinions Oh yay. A new GOP senator who will talk big as he dusts off his rubber stamp for Trump's agenda.

PostOpinions The beginnings of Mitt’s exploratory committee?

PostOpinions Kinda like Romney’s presidential aspirations. Had to settle for a Senator job where, he will only be relevant doing his Flake/McCain impersonations.

PostOpinions I'm just gonna leave this here.

PostOpinions romney has been quiet for two years. Why now is he speaking up? Maybe he's thinking about running again? God help us!

PostOpinions you have to have character first !

PostOpinions Mitt's a little late, but he's a white male, so everybody clap, goddamnit.

PostOpinions Mitt Romney has a talent for the obvious.

PostOpinions The nation doesn’t need another empty suit

PostOpinions An announcement he's running.
