Senator-elect Mitt Romney (R-UT) wrote an anti-Trump editorial that was published Wednesday morning. While the left sees his article as a crack in the Republican ranks, the op-ed doesn’t really say anything that other war-mongering RINO’s haven’t already said and it doesn’t really provide any new criticism of President Trump. Romney appears to be following in the footsteps of former Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake. Romney really didn’t do or say anything all that controversial or brave.

First, Romney chose the far-left, anti-Trump, incredibly biased Washington Post to publish his ill-conceived critique. His opinion piece fits right in with the tripe produced by the Post’s cadre of pretentious ideologues.

Second, Romney’s article wasn’t the scathing rebuke it’s being made out to be. It’s more a ham-handed attempt to gather the sentiments expressed by progressive zealots and swamp-RINO elitists.

The Trump presidency made a deep descent in December. The departures of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, the appointment of senior persons of lesser experience, the abandonment of allies who fight beside us, and the president’s thoughtless claim that America has long been a “sucker” in world affairs all defined his presidency down.

What Romney’s words really say is that he believes that Trump’s plans to draw down troops in Afghanistan and Syria is not what he would have done. He is a war-mongering globalist – but we already knew that. It’s nothing new and Romney’s disagreement with the president’s plan to let Middle-Easterners die for their own dirt shouldn’t shock anyone.

Romney continues but says little more than he said in the first paragraph.

But, on balance, his conduct over the past two years, particularly his actions last month, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office.

It appears that his disagreement with a U.S. troop drawdown in the middle-east is what’s at the center of this entire rant. Nothing new.
