| Mitt Romney is discovering that his WaPo op-ed attack on Trump wasn't such a good idea, after all |
| 2019-01-11 |
| [American Thinker] Mitt Romney knows he is a smart guy and is used to thinking of himself as the smartest guy in the room. But I don't think he thought through the now infamous Washington Post op-ed attacking President Trump's character that he published on New Year's Day, just a few days prior to assuming his new job as U.S. senator from Utah. Virtue-signaling feels great, like a sugar high, but the aftermath often brings predictable consequences that somehow escaped the notice of the person anxious to demonstrate righteousness. Mitt failed to understand that he is joining what is often called "the world's most exclusive club." The Senate, with only 100 members and immense powers, is not at all like the raucous House of Representatives. And though Senators face re-election only after six long years, they are very, very concerned with their ability to keep their membership card. |

| #12 Not me. Not worth the gas to go to my polling place -- and the polls are within walking distance. |

| #11 I voted for him when he ran for POTUS. He turned out to be a disappointment then and since. With tears in my eyes, I'd do it again. |

| #7 The only thing Mitt believes in is doing things that promote Mitt. He is little better than the eGOP cucks that wallow with the left and do whatever they can to expand their wealth and power. |

| #6 Teachable moment for Mitt as well ? Whoopi Goldberg advises AOC to "sit still," "learn the job" before "pooping on people" |

| #5 Surrounded by folks that hate trump (like a liberal) he probably finds it easy to believe everyone hates trump. Mitt should get out more. |
