Mitt Romney will be able to live with himself, and history will show he, and only he, in the entire GOP senate made the right choice. I salute him for his courage to stand by his oath and the Constitution. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Seriously, I think it's more likely that he choked up thinking about how this party that he and his father had belonged to has lost its way, and maybe he was grateful for his faith that made it possible for him to make such a decision.

he actually opposed Trump during the campaign as well, and when asked about Obama's presidency he spoke objectively and fairly. i probably disagree with him on literally everything but i always respected him as a man. Trump will switch his ideology whenever it fits him the best, after all not that long ago he openly said Hillary Clinton would make a great president. but people like Sanders and Romney stand by their principles no matter the cost, i'm sure the greatest presidents in the history of this country who did the same would be proud of politicians of this class.

Romney's vote is the perfect example of what values and ethics mean. These two concepts are real only when there is risk to the person who is adhering to them. Without that risk they are nothing more than empty phrases. Most times these two concepts are considered noble but they are really quite scary because to actually adhere to them, you may have to risk quite a bit.

@silverbird58 You seem to heavily overestimate the value of belief systems. Studies have shown generally, better development of empathy for children raised as atheist compared to those raised as christian. The vast majority of things supposedly 'taught' by religion to be critical to moral life come about intuitively. (Those values and moral systems which serve as the bases of law). The only value religion has (other than the self fulfilling prophecies implied by itself) is the emotional benefit many don't require or even experience.

Hahahahahahaha Mitt Romney didn't do this because he's courageous, he did this precisely because he knew it wouldn't mean anything. He knows his constituents in Utah aren't huge fans of Trump, so he does this to throw them a bone and knows full well it won't lead to anything. If his vote was the deciding factor in this fiasco, it's far more likely that he would've abstained over anything else. All this shows is that there's a lot of gullible people out there willing to claim Mitt a member of the "resistance" when he's anything but. This means nothing and it's a useful political tool for him to whip out at any moment in the future if and when he goes back to rubber stamping anything Trump wants after this.

As a Utahn I can confidently say he'll still get re-elected next election. Utah is a very red state but they're republican, not big trumpers. He was actually relatively poorly viewed in republican primaries and basically just won the election here by default of being republican. And people here love Romney. Also as many people know, Utah has a lot of Mormons. And the fact that Romney did what he did because he was honoring an oath he made to God, showing immense faith and devotion, is essentially viewed as him being a righteous person and doing the right thing. Plus Trump has only continued to make himself look worse, making Romney look more favorable. I'm confident Romney will not just win but win by a huge margin. He'll be a senator of Utah as long as he wants to be.

Politicians, throughout the world are not known for excessive truth but here and now, in America, only one politician saying out loud that which the rest of the world knows to be the truth is a terrible, appalling situation for that great country I still admire.

Opus 313 Don’t be too thankful, he’s probably positioning himself as the one republican to stand up to Trump once his personality cult collapses.

Don't give him the credit. He knows the Mormons in Utah have no better choice to serve as a senator. Put him in a purple state and see what happens.

"I think he knows now if he wants to root out corruption, he needs to go through the proper channels" That comment was just plain insulting. I felt that hit in my gut.

@Barrobroadcastmaster 4 года назад

I think Tulsi Gabbard was the most principled one from the start. There's not enough evidence and it's not fair for Trump to be tried for people who have been screeching for his removal since before he got in office.

Thanks Stephen for recognizing Mitt and the courage it took to do what he did. Thanks Mitt for helping us see what is hard to see and know amidst the noise.

So basically you can't get impeached for anything. That's crazy

@antonbrakhage490 4 года назад

That was pretty much Trump's defense, in the end. Anything Trump does is okay if Trump decides its in the "national interest". Ie, Trump's interests are America's interests, America is Trump, and Trump is now above the law. A dictator. That's what Republican Senators voted for.
