Looking at the criticism being leveled at Romney it seems to amount to the GOP making Trump loyalty a value or moral. Trump's moral shortcomings and lies are not to be brought up because it helps democrats. So basically a moral sewer. While I disagree with many of Romney's and the late McCain policies they operated under an ethical and moral code that would befit a President. Trump doesn't.
What you say is a non-sequitur.
Romney's jabs at Trump are clearly self-serving, in an effort to position himself as an opposing alternative to Trump. He rails on Trump's "character", details not specified. This from Romney, a guy who made his $300 million fortune in a career at Bain Capital of buying companies, breaking them into parts and selling them off, and in some cases depriving decades-employed workers of their pensions. There was a time where I respected and supported Romney in 2008 and 2012 as a civil guy who appeared to put his party first and had bipartisan appeal as a moderate, despite his not being a conservative. But over and over Romney since then has demonstrated
his character and loyalty are in question.
If Romney were taking a consistent moral stand against Trump the last 3 years, he should not have accepted Trump's political support to get elected. And since Romney
did accept Trump's support,
as one reporter phrased it interviewing him, Romney's attack on Trump now is "a shiv in the back".
Romney previously stabbed Trump in the back during the 2016 campaign,
after Trump was the Republican nominee. During the primary inter-party criticism is fair play, but during the general campaign, Romney was sabotaging his own party.
Then after elected, Trump generously tried to make peace with Romney, Trump invited him to the White House in early 2017, and potentially even offered him a cabinet position. Romney visited the White House and made friendly, but then later attacked Trump again.
Then Trump (presumably at invitation) campaigned for Romney in 2018. And now post-election, before Romney has even begun his term as Utah Senator, Romney has already backstabbed Trump again.
And I'm still waiting for proof of Trump's alleged "moral shortcomings". Much has been alleged, nothing has been proven.
The sexual allegations against Trump are a joke as I've detailed before, especially relative to the transgressions of Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, JFK, and LBJ, among others, that you and your party turn a blind eye to.
Regarding the alleged "collusion" with Russia, everything that is
alleged about Trump, is
proven to have occurred in the Clinton Foundation and Clinton campaign, including corruption in the DOJ and FBI that have sabotaged her prosecution.
Beyond irrational hatred of Trump (and hypocrisy regarding the same PROVEN charges against your own in the Democrat Central Committee), what do you really have, beyond Democrat corruption, Democrat abuse of power, and Democrat weaponization of government against your party's political enemies?
