GOP senators frustrated with Romney jabs at Trump
The Hill ^ | October 24, 2019 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 10/24/2019 5:29:50 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) public battles with President Trump are taking a toll on his relationship with fellow GOP senators, with many resenting the implication that they’re afraid of standing up to the president.

Romney has replaced retired Sens. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) as the go-to senator for voicing dissension within the Senate GOP ranks when Trump finds himself in hot water.

That distinction has made Romney one of the most high-profile freshman Republican senators in recent years, but it has also fueled grumbling among his colleagues.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), one of Trump’s biggest defenders, told The Hill he’s frustrated with Romney’s regular critiques of Trump and suggested his colleague might have unresolved feelings about failing to defeat former President Obama in the 2012 presidential campaign.

“Because one election didn’t turn out the way that Mitt wanted it to turn out,” Inhofe said Wednesday, “he’s critical of the president.”

“So, I’m not pleased with it,” he added.

Romney asked for and got Trump’s endorsement for Senator. Romney did not criticize Trump in the runup to the election.
But on the day before he took office in January, Romney wrote a highly critical article about Trump in the Washington Post.

In other words, Mitt Romney is a snake.

*******No, I believe the LDS church did that.*******

Yeah, and they made a mistake. The people are looking at the Mormons sent to Washington (Harry Reid, Jeff Flake, and now Romney) and are thinking Mormons can’t be trusted. I don’t think that is what they meant to happen but it’s now what many are thinking.

You do mean PEDO boy right!!!

On Google Translate, do a Spanish-to-English translation of that word. It certainly fits the Beehive State's junior solon.

When Romney came out during the 2016 primary season with that absolutely despicable, vicious diatribe against then candidate Trump, he revealed his innermost self. Based on that screed alone, there is no doubt in my mind that Pierre’s Mittens ran for senate specifically to be a thorn in Trump’s side. He even tried to get the SecState job to be in a position to undercut the new President, but Trump is too smart to have fallen for that. So no one should be surprised at Romney’s behavior now.

His approval rating in Utah went negative in the wake of Pierre so maybe there’s a glimmer of hope.

If Pierre wants to beat Trump so badly he should just switch democrat and run in the primary.

Pierre Delecto needs to come out of the closet and just admit he’s a Democrat.

Pierre Delecto = delicious peter

Pierre Delecto is also the slang term for the middle guy in a dude sandwich

He’s got five years left on his term. He doesn’t have to care what people think about him for another four, then he’ll do his hard break and become a Trump supporter.

Yeah, well and Russians hack the election too?

There is a point where voters just vote for dumb candidates.

I’m beginning to think that Romney’s dog was on top of the car voluntarily, because he couldn’t stand being IN the car with Romney.

I heard a joke years ago about John McCain that makes me think of Mitt Romney. My father basically said he heard that John McCain was going to switch parties I said really he goes yeah I heard he’s going to become a Republican
