Romney: 'Unthinkable and unacceptable' to not commit to peaceful transition of power

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) pushed back on Wednesday against President Trump, who refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power should he lose the election in November.

"Fundamental to democracy is the peaceful transition of power; without that, there is Belarus. Any suggestion that a president might not respect this Constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable," Romney tweeted.

Romney did not mention Trump by name in his tweet, but it came hours after Trump told reporters at the White House, when asked if he would commit to ensuring a peaceful transition of power if he loses in November, that he would have to “see what happens," and tried once again to sow doubt about the security of mail-in ballots.

They sound like they care about the country when it's beneficial to them but in the end they do what's best for themselves.

speeches when he knows that it won't make any difference. Not so good on actually doing anything that might matter.

22. Did he say that with a straight face?

I hope that all the egg stayed on for the statement.

[Withywindle]

23. What are you gonna DO about it, Mittens?

Your usual nothing, I assume.

You agreed to allow a vote for his fascist SC nominee and RBG isn't even buried yet. You have no commitment whatsoever to opposing his abuses of power in any meaningful way.

Like Ann Richards said of W, "All hat and no cattle." You don't even have a hat.
