There is motive behind amity's throwing Trump to the wolves?

[imanamerican63]

He was 50/50 on the vote toddy. He can not have it both way? He aligning himself up for run for potus again?

1. Trump does not consider him having it both ways I can assure you

The enemy of my enemy is my friend (for now anyway). It was a rebuke to Trump

[leftieNanner]

2. Absolutely he is!

The Mormon prophecy and all that. Plus Anne still has her election winning prom dress.

I'm still glad he did the right thing.

3. Senator Romney

Voted guilty after giving an outstanding, sincere and heartfelt speech. Assigning less than noble motives to him is wrong and reflects poorly on anyone who would do so.

I phoned his office to thank him and you should too.

4. Maybe, but....he's an old school Republican.

He was a popular governor in MA and got a pretty decent Mass Healthcare system going in the Bush years. I hope Republicans rally around Romney, because there is no better way back to the center for Republicans - if they embrace him.

5. Unfortunately, a lot of evangelicals consider Mormons to be a cult

I'm not religious, so I think all religions have their share of wackadoodles.

6. Yeah, I never saw Mitt as a cult Mormon.

Definitely an odd sect. But not a lot of Mormons in Ma or NH - where Mitt actually lives, I think.

I will give him credit for standing up to Trump. He might become the man for Never Trumpers to rally around. It will be interesting how the Trump Crime Party deals with Mitt. He is very dangerous to the cult.

7. He had to re-establish Utah residency to run for Senate

He lives in the Salt Lake City area.

8. OK, but I suspect his roots remain in NE.

Not exactly a bastion of Republican Trump Orthodoxy.

9. In this instance (where the cost, to him politically and socially is great, I am give him kudos,

rather then question ulterior motives. I rarely do that.
