Subtly criticizing President Trump, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called on policymakers Tuesday, in his first speech on the Senate floor, to develop a “comprehensive strategy” to respond to China's rapid rise.

Romney included several veiled critiques of Trump's policies as he outlined the steps he thinks the country should take to respond to China's economic growth.

Romney, who argued that China is poised to become America's “No. 1 geopolitical adversary,” urged American leaders to fortify the U.S. against future Chinese expansion and to take steps to slow China's rising power.

Since it’s being reported by the Los Angeles Times, the words from the speech must have been blown up with a microscope and the rest of the speech was tossed in the liberal trash heap.

I’m shocked!

[AmericanCheeseFood]

I can’t believe Utah voted this Democrat in.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I can believe it.

Shut up, Mitt.

It’s almost as if the arrogant Mittens is staging for a primary run against Trump.

[Lopeover]

Wish he’d just keep his mouth shut. Utah should have never voted this carpetbagger as their Senator.

Some deep state operative had to step into McCAin’s shoes.

Pissant.

Trump already has a plan and we're watching it happen right now.

When Leftists or RINOs calls for "Comprehensive" reforms, I always read it as "Let's screw up everything at once.".

There is nothing subtle about Mitt Romney, an ambitious but weak man

Shut up, Myth

[cba123]

Have to say, this is the FIRST TIME I have agreed with Mitt, since he lost.

The thing is, I think Trump is the FIRST American, ever, to ever stand up to China.

Ever.

Now sit down, Romney. Really.

Nobody likes you.

Dweeb.

He’s a arrogant UniParty hack.
Hopefully, the good people of Utah will eventually figure that out and “learn their lesson” regarding this POS.
