Now Sen. Mitt Romney joins that honorable pantheon of lawmakers, from John Quincy Adams to John McCain, who put principle over party. “It was a flagrant assault on our electoral rights, our national security and our fundamental values,” Romney went on. “The president is guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust.”ADRomney’s act of bravery — and perhaps political suicide — changed nothing and it changed everything. Romney made the vote to remove Trump bipartisan (no Democrats sided with Trump), and in the process made himself a pariah in his party. But as long as there is a Flake, or a Corker, or a McCain, or a Romney, there is still hope.
