Milquetoast...

Undoubtedly a good guy. One of the few in the city. He gets a lot of flak from the more zealous of his party, because his tribe is America, not Republicans. Often working across the aisle, always getting things done.

D.C. cannot replace him with anyone of similar character and ethics, but Republicans will be glad to have a better fighter for their tribe replace him. I am sad to see him go.

My tribe is happy to see him gone!

Good riddance

If he showed half of the fire and energy he did versus Trump against Obama, he may have actually won.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he believes all the media lies hook, line and sinker and that explains his anti-Trump behavior.

Obama was a very beatable candidate in 2012. In the first debate between the two Romney actually did a good job of going after him in what would be the only time an opposing Republican candidate did so with any enthusiasm and fire - and it clearly paid off in the polls at that point. From there, however, Romney inexplicably didn't continue to press the fight, getting flummoxed in the second debate by Candy Crowley's "fact check" challenge that of course ended up being proven to be a lie, and then pretty much totally capitulating in the third debate. In the end he proved to be just another milquetoast moderate establishment Republican loser like predecessors Gerald Ford, Bob Dole, and John McCain. I'm happy to see him go as well..

Mitt reminds me of my wifes Uncle in Colorado, who owns 2 thousand acres of crop land, three shopping centers, a 500 unit storgage facility, another coulple of office complexes and is likely as rich as Mitt, yet he will run around with us as equals, comes down to Texas once a year to visit, loves my son and always is wanting him to come up to Colorado to visit or even live there. Always trying to set him up with a girl.

Just a nice man who you would have no idea he had real $$ if you didn't already know it.

He treated us this week when he was down to a high $$ steak place and my wife wouldn't get one of the $100
steaks to save him money. I told her, Zoie he is taking us here to get a steak, not a salad. $100 for him is like a quarter to us. He doesn't care if you save him $50, he wants you to be happy.

Only real difference I see is he loves Trump, and Mitt here clearly doesn't.

The country was just simply going to vote for Obama. He inspired so many. He had God tier politician status. Many think of him as the best President America has had. Romney couldn't compete with that level of fanaticism, he is just a humble, hard working guy, trying to serve people.

---

Romney is a good man of integrity

Romney's the kind of man we need as president.

Romney's a RINO 100%. Good riddance.

Evidently the voters didn't agree.

Mitt would have made a far better president than Obama.

Unfortunately in these days of hyper partisan warfare, he wouldn't survive.

A good man, I wish him well.

His tribe is america

That's some funny guano there

Best known for destroying Obama in debate 1 and taking a total dive in debates 2 and 3

And his 3 ring binders of women.

And his dog on the roof of the car

The media eviscwrated this "good guy"

And if you pay attention anyone not on Tribe Marxist gets eviscerated as well regardless of color or what's between their legs or how they use it

He part of the problem but not the biggest problem.

Largely Addition by subtraction

His tribe is not America. He's a horrible person who sold off American jobs and industries for pennies on the pound. Good riddance.

Mitt Romney flip flops more than a fish out of water! He's one of the worst RINO's in Washington and we can only hope his replacement John Curtis will be more like Mike Lee.

Willard's entire sorry political career can be summarized by the Democrats in this thread saddened by his retirement and the Republicans celebrating it. The man was emblamatic of everything wrong in the GOP since Reagan left office.

I think Mitt graded out decent as conservative on votes, but lost his mind when it comes to Trump. Could it be that Trump taunted him with the SoS job or some personal corruption in Ukraine? Who knows.

Probably because he was in the way of him running again.

Or, he may actually have met him and knows him. Saying the guy is a better option than Joe,Kamala or Hillary doesn't make him a good option. I voted for him three times and not once because he is a good candidate but because he is better than the option. He is not trustworthy and every action has to be weighed to see if it is another "Trump Watch" or "Trump Sneaker" grift.

Romney at least tried to do what was right, which seems to have little value in MAGA.

Helping the democrat criminal machine that pushes for mass pardons of their thugs; that lies every word out of their mouth; attempts coups and endless lawfare on anyone that disagrees with them; that throws little old praying ladies in jail; that enourages wicked dudes to join and destroy women's sports; and so on and so on... is 'not trying to do what was right.'

It was just his little pouty grudge. Goodbye Mitt. You didnt make an impact in anything and you wont be missed.

Quite the leap and spread there...

So, anyone "I" or "R" that worked on a bi-partisan legislation "helped the democrat criminal machine that pushes for mass pardons of their thugs; that lies every word put of their mouth; attempts coups and endless lawfare on anyone that disagrees with them; that throws little old praying ladies in jail; that encourages wicked dudes to join and destroy women's sports; and so on and so on..."

Seems like a big jump. So Vance falls in that category? Greene, Gaetz? They all worked and passed bi-partisan support.

Also, did you know that Romney voted more with Trump 75% than MAGA-God Mike Lee 72%. He was not the only one that thought Trump was out of line on Jan 6th.

---

Many democrats have opened their eyes and shunned their evil party. I expect more to follow.

But we have no place for Pence, Romney, Liz ... establishment types that choose to hand power to evil people who lie cheat steal and kill at will.

Mitt has worked with & voted with the Dems a lot while in the Senate. He is the worst of the RINO's.

---

So, how does this end? If you can't work with the other side and the Romney's, Manchin's, McCain's, Lieberman's basically anyone that tries for bi-partisan legislation is "dead to us". How does it end?

---

Depends on what bi-partisan legislation we are talking about

Betraying the base by reaching across the aisle to push for more foreign wars, and more leftist social stuff
(taking down statues, renaming bases, codifying gay "marriage" into Federal law, confirming Leftist Life Judges)

That is not the kind of bi-partisan stuff that Republican voters want....its a betrayal

Not to mention there is no similar movement among the Democrats to reach across the isle and secure our borders or push socially conservative legislation

Bi-partisanship is a one way street in DC

You think Trump will have smooth sailing and destroy the Dems? He won by a percent or two. You guys think it is over and Trump won?

I am not getting the end game here or at least one that is realistic.

We are in the majority. We don't need to work with the other side now. They need to work with us. What we don't need is for our side to block our own agenda. You may not like it, but don't side with them and block us. That is our end game. Get on board or get out.
