Incoming Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) revealed he would support President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall one day after publishing an opinion piece in The Washington Post critiquing nearly everything about the current administration.

“I would vote for the border wall,” Romney, former Republican presidential candidate, told CNN’s Jake Tapper in a Wednesday afternoon interview.

1. Pure Flake

[roamer65]

2. Romney is useless.

We can’t depend on him, but send him messages of encouragement to attack Dump.

He can be a useful tool to send the Repuke party into utter chaos.

[DeeDeeNY]

3. 14 hours is impressive

I figured maybe a couple of days.

[spanone]

4. good to know mitt doesn't disappoint

[Stinky The Clown]

6. Well he was busy writing that op-ed so then he consulted his binders of women

[NCjack]

7. Romney must be playing an inside game. Maybe he just learned that

Pence is out, and to get the V.P. position, he has to be a solid MAGAt. When he gets the MAGAt-V.P., he is just 1 heartbeat away or 1 impeachment & conviction away from becoming Prez "Slime" Romney.

[csziggy]

42. That's my thought - Romney is running to be Gerald Ford

And if he can position himself in the right place, he might be able to do it.

[smirkymonkey]

8. Could he possibly be any more of an ass-kisser.

I never thought he would sink any lower than the below photo, but obviously he specializes in obsequiousness. Get some pride, Mitt. You are such a sad little man.

[CottonBear]

12. That photo always creeps me out. N/T

[Red Mountain]

16. Says it all

He eats what he is served.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Mitt Romney: What's for lunch Donald?

Donald Trump: Your dignity.

[smirkymonkey]

22. *snort*

[Blue Owl]

24. Beef Wallington

n/t

[irisblue]

29. R(m)oney looks queasy desperate

trump looks not so vaguely demonic.

Creepy photo with creepy body language.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Jeff Flake gave him his empty suit on his way out.

[NCjack]

44. It was a loan, not a gift. When Flake starts his run for the GOP 2020 nomination,

he will need that suit returned to him.

[Hassler]

10. Hard to imagine a bigger grifter from Utah than Orrin Hack, but Willard fits the role

[MrsCoffee]

11. Mitt Flippin Romney.

[Ohiogal]

13. I am not surprised.

[Buckeyeblue]

14. Romney does what's best for him...remember, he used to be pro-choice

[tblue37]

21. He attacked Obamacare even though the MA insurance program nicknamed

Romneycare is the same damned thing!

[Buckeyeblue]

25. Romney has no real ideas

But because the Senate is not about him, he'll quickly grow bored with it.

I do think he could be one of the Senators to turn on 45. Again, it has to be in his best interests and he'll have to see that there is something in it for him. At this point, I think national praise would be enough.

My guess is he came out in favor of the wall (which is ironic given the history of his faith) because he has no real choice. McConnell has said he won't forward a bill without 45's blessing. So it's better to go with the flow than to stick out at this point.

[Red Mountain]

15. He's a Republican

......and that's why they have a bad name.

No principles other than self-help.

Revolting.

[GWC58]

32. Romney is all Republican, all the time;

anti health care, anti choice, anti LGBTQ & anti cannabis. So yeah he fits the role and he fits it perfectly. 👺

[Cha]

17. Of course, mitt supports the "stupid medieval" wall..

Whimpy little mitt.

[Guilded Lilly]

18. 5..4..3..2..1..Another predictable soulless, party ass kissing wimp. N/T

[kimbutgar]

19. He's a weak knee'd repuke who's scared of his own party!

Pretzel kind of repuke.

[ecstatic]

23. Never pin your hopes on a phony. It never works out

He's a slightly more dignified version of trump.

[OnDoutside]

26. Joe Scarborough .... hahahha, slating Democrats for slating Romney's Op-Ed...... someone should

let him know about the Tapper interview !

Michael Steele is joining in now !

[democratisphere]

27. The redumbliCON cabal wall.

More crazy sh't!

[Takket]

28. The fact he is played off as some sort of centrist

And still supports the wall just goes to show there are actually no “centrists” in the GOP.

[Mike Nelson]

30. He very much for...

… Trump agenda items... he doesn't like Crooked Donald, personally. We tend to elevate Republicans who come out against Trump and think they're fine folks... Romney, McCain, Mueller, Comey, Rod Rosenstein, etc, etc... in the end, they are all Republicans...

[still_one]

31. no surprise. This is the republicans "great white hope". I guess they forgot 2008

[Achilleaze]

34. Ass-kissing republicans are a disgrace

[vlyons]

35. Down with Takers

Probably Romney thinks that immigrants are nothing but useless "Takers," who will require a safety net, which costs money. So no surprises from Romney. He can pose as Senator Moral Giant, but I still see him as an ignorant, selfish Morman. Nothing to brag about.

[BlueJac]

36. Just another Flake...

who would of thought?

[duforsure]

37. Flake part 2

[The Genealogist]

38. How long til he is screeching like lyin Lindsey, defending all Trump does and says?

I guess we'll see. A few rounds of golf aught to get Mittens into proper form.

[brooklynite]

39. No Republican doesn't support the Wall...

If you had asked Flake or McCain, they would have said the same thing.

[JDC]

40. As greasy as they come

[moondust]

41. Maybe promised a kickback.

The wall thing may be a big scam and all the grifters who publicly support it will get a kickback.

Seems suspicious that the border "problem" started with the "solution" (wall) and a big price tag rather than going through some regular order for an infrastructure project: determine need, consider options, get estimates, take bids, award contracts, etc. Where's the GAO?

Maybe Drumpf's band of grifters figured out how to use no-bid contracts, spend a little of the money on a "wall" to show his suckers, and pocket the rest--similar to his inauguration money.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

43. Republicans are embarrassed by Trump's idiotic behavior

not his policies. Romney, et. al are just upset that he's making getting their policies harder to enact and embarrassing them.
