That's the way I look at it. He voted his conscience. The over the top rhetoric on both sides is stupid.

He hates Donald Trump and he hates that Trump has called him a "loser" for losing the election to Obama. Romney saw this as an opportunity to stick it to Trump one last time.

Conscience, my ass. There was nothing genuine about Romney's vote, his letter, or his speech. He used his religious beliefs to shield his disdain for Trump... and that ought to piss off his Mormon base.

That's what annoys me as well. It's the same moral superiority liberals convey when discussing "deplorables"

Any dipsh*t that voted to convict when there was no evidence of a crime, and the prosecution admitted they needed more evidence, didnt vote their conscience.

Absolutely. He wanted to keep getting invited to DC and NY cocktail parties. He will get his reward for this vote. And its not in the afterlife.

His 47% is the same as Hillary's deplorables. Both express their contempt for the American people. So does Romney's yes vote here.

I agree. He didn't vote his conscience, he voted his hatred.

Interestingly, after the first article failed, he voted not guilty on the second. That's pretty much an admission of wishy-washiness. But that's pretty much always been the criticism of Mitt.

He didn't vote his conscience or his "Faith", Fsquid...

He didn't vote on the evidence or the argument brought to the Senate floor by the House managers.

He voted on his intense desire to one-up Trump

And i know some people will argue with me, but justice decisions should not be based on your "faith", but the evidence presented in front of you.

Exactly...and then, worse yet—-he tried to cloak the action with his religion to hide his true motivation. This is a guy who’s deep religious convictions miraculously vanished when it was politically expedient to be pro life.

Frankly, this is was not brave. This was the EASY vote for a weak political animal like Romney. Look at the press Romney is getting. It’s all adulation. This is who Romney is and why he lost the presidential race. Does anyone really think Romney would have fought for Republican ideas and legislation the way Trump has? Does anyone believe Romney could have held up in the face of massive media criticism and still won the way Trump has? Hell no. Sniveling little Romney would have taken the easy way out and caved every time. Its just who he is. He’s not going to suffer slings and arrows when he has the option to push the “Easy Button”.

The problem Romney has is for all the adulation he's getting over this he's not going to gain much traction because all the people heaping praise upon him wouldn't cast a vote for him because he'll have ® next to his name.

In the process of gaining this empty adulation he's further alienated himself from the people who possibly would have voted for him in the future.

Nah, not at all. He voted for appeasement. Remember he voted guilty on one count and not guilty to the other unlike the Demons who voted guilty on both counts. He thought that Republicans wouldn't judge him bad in the second and the Demons on the first. He's a scumbag, someone who can not be trusted by the Republicans in the least and that's what he deserves because that's who he is. Too bad he can't be recalled in Utah like they wanted. You can't trust someone like him.

Even Jesus said you can't please both entities. You have to make a choice, don't straddle the fence.

that sympathy card only goes so far.....I'll give him credit for one thingy.....he knew it going in how it would play out.....

I still contend it was nothing more than his latest ploy thinking, 'they'll soon forget' with 4 more years under his belt....he still thinks he has the largest 'chip stack' at the table....

toss in chrissy fk'n wallace and his pandering bs, and it's the 'purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect' script in the land o' lakes' political bs.....

I hope the next time the republicans are invited to the White House his name is missing from the list of invitees. Marginalize him and make him a pariah. Same as he is trying to do to Trump. Liberals will cry it’s not statesmanship like which will tell us it’s the right thing to do.
