I have no problem with what Romney did. He did what he was elected to do. I don't think he should be praised for doing his job properly. Unfortunately nobody else does their job properly so he gets praise for simply doing his job properly. Sad.

It is sad, but I think it is more a reflection on our society than our politicians. We allowed ourselves to become so divided than when a politician says something that is not within the party line, they get a primary challenger and attacked by their party "RecallRomney" is now the number 1 hashtag trending on twitter obviously coming from all republicans.
Politicians have to balance public perception with what they believe is best for the country.The conclusion was already known. Trump will not be convicted. The easy thing for Romney to do would have been to say we didn't hear from witnesses so he can't vote to convict... so yes, when they do the thing that they believe is right, knowing it is bad for them politically, I will give them praise.
We've been divided long before Twitter. I'm not a fan of Romney, BUT if he took his oath seriously then I have no issue with what he did. Also remember he and Trump have an up and down history. If that's why he voted to convict him then I disagree with him.
Politicians are so full of crap. I just listened to Schumer talk about God's hand guiding our future. Tomorrow he will be pro-choice. I'm sure that's God's hand guiding him.
Lets not make Romney out to be some hero because he voted to convict, he has his own agenda with Trump. I also wonder if he had a true deciding vote (like if Dems controlled Senate) would he vote the same way or not. It is easier to vote a certain way when it has little impact on grand scheme of things.
Thankfully it’s over, and hopefully everyone learns something from it. I never thought it had a chance (hence 0%). Total Political process that the public also lost interest.
Nine months to the election. Hopefully somebody learns how to count votes by then.

Don't fool yourself into believing it's over. Should he win re-election, he will likely be the first president to face impeachment twice unless they flip the House. I actually believe the American people would have been more intrigued with getting rid of Trump if the Democrats had a poker face. However for 3 years saying we're going to impeach him for Russia and every other little thing they could come up with, it became apparent this was a goal for them, not an unfortunate incident they couldn't ignore.
Oh, I agree. They won’t stop; meant this latest stunt is over and hoping everyone learns. My guess is...No
There’s nothing wrong with impeaching him again if it’s called for. However when the House of Representatives is more focused on finding cause to impeach the president than legislating as they are supposed to be, that’s a minor problem. Lol
He's tough as nails and I love him for it. We haven't had a strong President since Reagan left office and I hate to think what W or Obama would have done if they had been subjected to such withering fire for more than 3 years. Trump has prospered in spite of the hate thrown at him and the country has prospered with him. Plus, his wife is such a stately Beauty. That has to count for something, doesn't it?

Belluno: So much of the vitriol directed toward Trump is of his own making. And Obama didn't have a walk in the park by any means. In 2008 McConnell stated that his job was to make Obama a one-term president. How did that work out, Mitch? Heard Cruz on a brief visit [by me] to Fox News attack Democrats for not applauding Rush Limbaugh at the Trump rally Tues. night, but isn't Rush still a birther?
Agree that Melania is attractive; so is Stormy Daniels.

Follower Of Joseph Smith Urges Nation To Reject Morally Flawed Leaders

SALT LAKE CITY, UT—Mitt Romney, incoming senator for Utah and follower of Joseph Smith, lectured the nation in an op-ed Tuesday on the need to reject morally flawed leaders.
The man who has devoted his life to the teachings of a con artist encouraged the nation to examine its leaders to see whether they are worthy of our devotion and respect.
"A president should demonstrate the essential qualities of honesty and integrity, and elevate the national discourse with comity and mutual respect," wrote the man who follows Joseph Smith, a false prophet, notorious polygamist, and scam artist. He pointed out that the president hasn't shown himself to be honest or forthcoming in his dealings with opponents and other countries, while Joseph Smith's own prophecies failed to come true over and over again, and while the Mormon Church continues to deceive its members by covering up its past.
Romney took Trump to task for his immoral lifestyle, slamming him for being divisive, destructive, and sexist, though the first prophet of his church consolidated power throughout his life in order to marry more women and eventually deceive millions into believing a false gospel.
To close his opinion piece, Romney urged the president to live a morally upstanding lifestyle, "and maybe look for wisdom to lead the nation by staring at stones in a hat."
