    I didn't realize he was obliged to be loyal to his party rather than his constituents and conscience.

    Jim Crow.....you on the left use that a lot. Always inject race. Ole'Joe used that exact same Marxist tactic in his news conference the other night against the "filbuster". We have him on video, as well as Obama, defending the filibuster when they were a minority. But Ole' Joe calls it "Jim Crow". Well I'll be a lyin' dog faced pony soldier!
    So you use it to imply that new rules "only" apply to people of color, but I know for a fact they apply to everyone equally.

    Don't know about that.... I think these Progressive Establishment Republicans do more damage to America than the Marxist Democrats!

    He should declare as a Dem. that would put him in contention for potus.

    We disagree. I suspect you would so characterize many of the figures I have admired most.

    Romney has head up Trump's arse? Now you make no sense.
    And again if it was courageous for Romney to "buck the party" and vote to remove President Trump then by reflection we can say there were no courageous Democrats in the Clinton impeachment.

    Closing in on Mitt's courage,
    https://news.yahoo.com/susan-collins-support-breaking-jan-221659790.html
    Susan Collins to support breaking
    Jan. 6 commission filibuster

    Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) will vote against a filibuster that would block the formation of a commission to examine the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, . .


    The two of them should be expelled from the party
    or minimally lose and senior committee status, etc.

    I don't think it qualifies as courage at all. it is simply a vote in a corrupt congress. All members of congress cast votes nearly every day. We need to give them an extended vacation.

    I can explain this very easily.
    He failed at becoming President and faded into obscurity and BOOM, he jumps on the never Trump bandwagon and he gets praise, attention and awards. Liz C also realized how much popularity they can get off of Trump hate, and has basically done the same. I see nothing wrong with what Mitt is doing because I see nothing wrong with being an opportunist (all politicians are)

    But to give a Freedom Award to an ex-president who did everything to overturn a democratic election makes sense.
