We may have a Repuke Senator who would vote to convict

Romney wrote. “Even so, I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the President. I am also appalled that, among other things, fellow citizens working in a campaign for president welcomed help from Russia — including information that had been illegally obtained; that none of them acted to inform American law enforcement; and that the campaign chairman was actively promoting Russian interests in Ukraine.”

1. Uh huh, this is actually a case of Romney willing to do whatever he thinks is good for Romney.

[mcar]

2. Romney is another Collins and Flake

All talk, no action.

[alwaysinasnit]

3. I would like to think so but he doesn't have a very reliable history of standing up to 45.

[snowybirdie]

4. He also

said it was good that no obstruction of justice was found. This is the second paragraph.

5. We would need more than one Republican to convict and I . . .

wouldn't put my money on Romney to be the 'hero' when things got real. The heat has to be turned all the way up and the Trumpster's numbers need to plummet before the GOP grows a pair or develops a moral conscience, aka a save their jobs panic move.

I think we can get there with enough public hearings and continuous outcries on all things rotten in Denmark.

But we're not there yet.

6. Romney says things and then doesn't do them.

He is almost as spineless as Susan Collins. I hope he proves me wrong, but I wouldn't count on him to do the right thing, ever.

13. +1, male version of Collins, tries to be slick all the damn time

[edhopper]

7. you...cannot...count...on ...a ...single...

Republican. Ever.

[WillowTree]

8. Check back when you have a number approaching 20

Because that is the minimum number of Republican votes it would take to convict.

[PeeJ52]

9. No way. When it comes to the vote, he wouldn't do it...

That's just Romney being Romney... all talk, no action... Don't forget that picture of him dining with the devil...

10. Romney is setting himself up to run again if Trump is weakened enough. Period.

[NotASurfer]

11. Let's see him do a joint press conference with Elizabeth Warren

And have the same position on Impeachment, AND start lobbying other Repus on it

Then, I'll consider taking him seriously

[Hekate]

12. Suggestion: write him flattering letters when urging him to do so

[UniteFightBack]

14. Ok so we've heard from one Republican. Let's hear from some others. nt
