Mitt Romney Caves In on Russian Vote


APACHE JUNCTION AZ (IFS) -- It was no surprise here, as we predicted about the junior senator from Utah would be a traitor and vote with the old men on the DJT Ship "Trumptanic" as his tough talk was just that "all talk".  Romney did not waste any time in casting his very first votes to strip the Russian Bankers of sanctions and giving President Trump his way.

When in the future, that the US Senate is looking for a real "grown-up" in the room, Romney is not it.  Just a "Milk-toast" wimp that needs to go back to Utah, as he proves he is "worthless" and not a leader at all.

1 day ago - Senate Democrats fail to stop Trump administration from lifting sanctions on firms linked to Putin friend. ... Sen. Mitt Romney, who had warned as a 2012 presidential candidate that Russia is the U.S.' top geopolitical foe, votes against Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's resolution.

When Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, opened 2019 with a scathing commentary lamenting President Donald Trump’s lack of moral leadership, it seemed he was claiming the mantle of the late Sen. John McCain.
Like McCain, Romney — for the most part — did not partake in the ritual fealty that so many of Trump’s vanquished foes demonstrated. Sure, he met with Trump in November 2016 to audition for secretary of state. But Romney never fully bent the knee.
So one might think Romney would have joined the 11 other Republican senators who voted this week to stop the Trump administration from lifting sanctions meant to squeeze Russian President Vladimir Putin’s allies. Senate aides told me Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did not try too hard to whip the vote, and neither did the White House.
