1. Good for you, Mitt

So the vote to convict, although it will fail to remove Trump, will be bipartisan.

Suck on it, Republicans.

2. Oh Lordy,Mitt is getting it all right

My promise before God.....conscience...

Thank you Mitt

7. The reality is that Trump can't hurt him. He's independently wealthy, and his seat is safe.

There's absolutely nothing Trump can do to harm Mitt Romney. So he's free to vote as he wishes. I'm sure there are other
Republicans who would like to do the same but don't have that luxury.

I always hoped Romney would be a thorn in Trump's side. I don't like the guy, but at this stage, we could use a few more like him.

3. I am listening and realized he is voting with Dems!

Then I came here and saw your post.

4. Mitt is safe

He's popular in Utah and despite their overwhelming Republican lean many Mormons are not fond of Trump.

5. And history won't see him as a collaborator.

Well done Mitt.

9. We must honor this man for his vote of conscience.

I disagree with Sen. Romney on everything, yet he brought tears to my eyes.

Respect to you, Mr. Romney.

10. Listening to Mitt as he speaks to the Senate...

Disagree with you on many issues but... thank you sir, you are honouring your state and the nation with that address.

11. I cannot believe I am agreeing with Mitt Romney

Just watched his speech. His run against President Obama was what made me sign in for the first time here. I railed against his presidential bid.

I never expected Trump to win. I did not believe there was any other reasonable choice than President Clinton.

I cannot believe he said what he just said. Good for him.
