To #Romney, this was the problem w/the #Trump-era #GOP. He believed there were still #decent, well-intentioned ldrs in his party….

Perhaps Romney’s most surprising discovery upon entering the #Senate was that his #disgust w/#Trump was not unique among his #Republican colleagues. “Almost w/o exception, they shared my view of the president.” In public… they played their parts as #TrumpLoyalists, often contorting themselves rhetorically to defend the president’s most #indefensible behavior.
