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 campaigning for U.S. Senate in Utah, penned an op-ed for The Salt Lake Tribune. 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.
Romney noted that Trump's first year in office "exceeded my expectations," and praised some of his accomplishments. He pointed to the passage of the GOP tax cut bill and the reduction of regulations as positive developments.
He also pledged to oppose Trump on tariffs, and on the president's rhetoric about immigrants and minorities.
"I do not make this a daily commentary," he wrote. "I express contrary views only when I believe it is a matter of substantial significance."
Blah, blah, blah...

F off Mitt. The country rejected you.
Go away, Willard.
We all should have voted for Obama.
Romney, shut that mouth. Life’s hard, said John Wayne. He continued...It’s even harder when you’re stupid.
So you are going to vote against the wall Mitt?
Please, please Utah, send this carpetbagger packing.
However, Utah will probably elect the snake.
He could run on his record as governor of Massive2shitts.
Queer marriage
Socialized medicine
Anything else the flaming liberals wanted
My two cents, even if it is worth nothing. The good people and voters of the great state of UTAH would be absolutely insane if they cast their votes for loser Mitt Romney in their upcoming primary.
All any sane person needs to do is to relive the Obama/Romney POTUS debate with CNNs, Candy Crowley as the moderator. Ms. Crowley stomped all other the weak “sister” Mitt Romney at the debate close...with Barack Hussein Obama glowing with glee at the idiot, onstage, Mitt Romney.
A voter in Utah that votes for Romney either gotta be smoking too much reefer, or just simply insane!!!
Does being the pompous ass still work in Utah? Mitt Romney will soon find out. All I know is he won debate #1 with Obama, then he crumpled.
How’s your dog, Mitt?
He’s like Hillary. He lost, he won’t go away.
Let it go and go sell used cars somewhere, if you need something to do.
Mitt doesn’t stand for anything, other than wanting a prestigious, high-paying job.
Exactly and why the people of Utah would pick this guy as their Senator makes absolutely no sense, whatsoever. Especially when his challenger is born and bred there and is definitely a Trump guy.
WOW, a man of NO convictions and apparently no permanent home either as he seems to run for office wherever there is a vacancy.
I was so fooled by this clown and his boy Ryan that I actually cast a vote for the two of them and did so “proudly.”
Ugh.
Come on Utah, get rid of Mitt!
Big government, new world order, deep stater.
Poor Mitt. He actually think anyone listens.
