The jury is out on whether Mitt Romney, the nearly certain winner in the Senate race in Utah, will be a powerful voice challenging President Trump or whether he will, as so many other Republicans have, crumble. However, his essay this week in defense of a free press was as excellent start.

Romney should be credited with responsibly defending the First Amendment. It is good practice for the oath hell take to uphold the Constitution (including all the amendments) before entering the Senate. Republicans who think the media really is the enemy of the people and/or support Trumps assaults on the First Amendment have no business holding public office.
For reminding conservatives that the press is an essential institution, we can say, well done, Mr. Romney.

Did Rubin endorse McCain or Romney?
I bet not.
Jebbifer pines for Bush League Republicans
Millions of US are already sorry we voted for him,.
Trump hasn’t called for press rights to be revoked. He’s criticized them, just like Obama used to do all the time towards Fox News and talk radio. Last time I checked, the first amendment applies to the President also. Mitt is an embarrassment and exactly what is wrong with the Republican Party.
He’ll have plenty of company.
Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.
If Mitt had been as nasty to BO as he is to Trump he may have been POTUS.
Heller, Alexander, Graham, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Hyde-Smith, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.
Yep, but Mitt is more worried about what the media thinks of him, even though they trash him every chance they get.
All voted to confirm Kavanaugh.
Democrats would never do it. The lesser of two evils sometimes makes a big difference.
In September Democrat propagandist told voters “Because Republicans refuse to shoulder their constitutional obligatiobs, voters concerned about fortifying our democracy must deprive the GOP of majorities in one or both houses. It’s the only way to get oversight, to hold Trump accountable and begun the process of restoring democratic norms.”

“Are there Republicans who will join Obama?”
We have to replace them before they vote again to give away the country with amnesty.
Fixed it.
You just insulted dogs!
Obama locked up at least 2 filmmakers. Hillary took credit for getting the youtube ‘mohammed’ filmmaker locked up and Denesh D’Souza went yo club fed.
I have tried to be clear that by supporting and backing Romney, the Mormons have cast their lot in with the devil, and will be punished accordingly.
If unclear, their entire church will be punished for inflicting Romney on the United States.
Also the Obama administration illegally monitored more than a couple of journalists.
Hacked even
