Then we can go back to hating him on monday.
Seriously he did more than the rest of the senate republicans and even his relative running the rnc supports trump rather than him on this issue.
Acknowledging that is fair, but doesnt make me forget the rest. He voted against the obstruction charge.
Its pretty damning that partially doing his job makes him worthy of anything but thats how low the bar is.
I also Remember that Romney made his fortune as a vulture capitalists. He bought up companies, borrowed huge amounts of money which he used to pay himself huge bonuses. Then forced the companies to declare bankruptcy so he could make more money selling off assets leaving the companies and pensions saddled with huge debt. Vultures have the courtesy of waiting until you are mostly dead. Not Romney.
So to paraphrase I hope to read his obituary and smile. I dont mind the short term praise, but agree that he deserves to be remembered primarily for the harm he has caused.
Edit: remove false statement that romney didnt vote for witnesses. He did. Thanks democrattotheend.
