Maybe he wants to run again in 2024 and is trying to set up a GOP anti-Trump counter-narrative? We shall see...

And he managed to preserve his integrity by being honest. Unlike the majority of his colleagues.

Thank you, Senator Romney. We may not agree on a lot politically but today, Sir, you have my respect.

I think he realizes his time has passed and the Republican nominee will not be a Never Trumper.

Yup, he is still a qpube

I cannot imagine continuing to be affiliated with any group who is so horribly unethical, to the point of being criminal.

Tells me where their heads are. I would say hearts, but I don't think they have "heart," in the indigenouse sense of seeing and living with heart.



Ps - one should not expect overt praise for doing what clearly needs to be done in performing one's job. Does the entire country cebrate every grocery worker for every case of food they unpack onto shelves?
