Right on Romney
Sticking it to Trump.
The vote to convict is bipartisan.
To acquit is partisan.
Who are the partisans now?

Romney's speech should be required viewing for Repugnant reprogramming after Trump is blown out of office.

Romney's speech ignores that Trump was denied witnesses in the House and the fact that Quid-Pro-Quo Joe isn't above the law and has ZERO immunity to being investigated just because he's a weak and comical leftist socialist Democrat candidate for a job he could never handle.
Here's the only speech that matters:
"It will be unprecedented if the Senate says secondhand and third hand testimony from unelected civil servants is enough to overturn the people's vote. It will be an unprecedented constitutional crisis if the Senate agrees to set the bar this low forever.
"It is clear what this moment requires. It requires the Senate to fulfill our founding purpose. The framers built the Senate to provide stability — to take the long view of our republic. To safeguard institutions from the momentary hysteria that sometimes consumes our politics. To keep partisan passions from literally boiling over.
"The Senate exists for moments like this. That's why this body has the ultimate say in impeachment.
"The framers knew the House would be too moveable to transient passions and violent factionalism. They needed a body that would consider legal questions about what has proven and political questions about what the common good of our nation requires."
"Back in June, Speaker Pelosi promised the House would build an ironclad case. Never mind that she was basically promising impeachment months, months before the Ukraine events, but that’s a separate matter. She promised an ironclad case. And in March, Speaker Pelosi said this: 'Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there is something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path because it divides the country,' end quote,"
"By the Speaker’s own standards, the standards she set, she has failed the country. The case is not compelling, not overwhelming, and as a result not bipartisan. The failure was made clear to everyone earlier this week when Senator Schumer began searching for ways the Senate could step out of our proper role and try to fix the House Democrats’ failures for them."
"And it was made even more clear last night when Speaker Pelosi suggested that House Democrats may be too afraid, too afraid to even transmit their shoddy work product to the Senate. Mr. President, it looks like the prosecutors are getting cold feet. In front of the entire country and second-guessing whether they even want to go to trial."

The man who stood up for what is right.
Romney was the 2012 GOP presidential nominee and presumptive leader of the Republican party at that time. Republican primary voters do not nominate liberals, leftists" or socialists to represent them
The only posters here who are incapable of admitting the office of the presidency should never be used to solicit foreign governments for help undermining a domestic political opponents are posters who eschew honesty and utterly lack character and a moral code of conduct.

Mitt is not a maverick, only a man of faith and conscience who did the moral thing.

Why no Democrat “mavericks”?
McCain would be happy with Romney. Both of them had something in common. Trump defeated the person claimed to be the most qualified to ever run for the office and neither McCain nor Romney could beat the unqualified black boy that made the claim.
