https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/historic-corruption-romney-criticizes-trump-commuting-roger-stone-s-prison-n1233577

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, on Saturday criticized President Donald Trumps decision to commute the prison sentence of Roger Stone, calling it unprecedented, historic corruption.
An American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president, Romney wrote on Twitter.
Romney, a leading critic of the president, was the first prominent Republican to condemn Trump for his decision to clear Stone's 40-month prison sentence.

Sen. Pat Toomey, another republican also says it was a mistake

Later on Saturday, another Republican, Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, called Trump's decision to commute Stone's sentence a "mistake" and said that the president's power to grant clemency for federal crimes "should be used judiciously and very rarely."
"While I understand the frustration with the badly flawed Russia-collusion investigation, in my view, commuting Roger Stone's sentence is a mistake," Toomey said in a statement. "He was duly convicted of lying to Congress, witness tampering, and obstructing a congressional investigation conducted by a Republican-led committee."

prioritizing ones political party above the country is treasonous.

Enjoy being so hopelessly trapped in a corrupt two party system where you have no hope for any real change. You are a part of the problem along with everyone else both democrat and republican

A centrist isn't that bad now.

Honestly I kinda like Biden and his policies, but anybody willing to call out their own party is something very good in these kinds of times.

In theory as a democrat I would be ok with a Romney presidency.

in comparison to trump, or one of the other psychos that seem to have gained in power in the GOP, sure.

in comparision to ANY democrat candidate, fuck no. romney is a two faced weasel who would absolutely pull the same sleazy typical republican shit his party is famous for, he'd just act like he wished he didn't.

The DNC can be pretty sleazy too. If it comes down to the question of "what has really fucked the country in the last 30 years?" the answer is "the media and divisive us vs them politics".

Mitt might have a better chance of actually bringing the country together rather than Biden, he definitely would've over Hillary. Don't get me wrong, I don't fully trust him, but honestly things are so shitty that the effort to even look like you care about the people across the aisle and care about integrity is a very welcome thing.

The divisiveness is why we always elect the worst from each party. Because primaries make each side pick their worst candidate and then we go "well fuck I guess I gotta pick one"

He comes off as sounding bad there, to be sure. And look, you may be right that he's just better at playing the game, he sees the tide as shifting and so his centrist moves are just performance art. Idk. But he's appearing to kinda try now. And if that is legitimate centrism then it would be something I would value and trust WAY more than Hillary.

I've always kinda liked Biden, he needs to take some time drink some tea, meditate and de-gunk his brain a bit but I do like Biden a lot. But Mitt is not a monster just because he's a republican, any part of him that is a monster is mostly that way because he's a hyper rich politician.

Right?

I don't understand how people want progress but mock every step towards progress as not enough. Yeah it's not enough, but it's better than nothing. If anything needs mocking it's the people doing nothing, not the people making progress.

words are cheap, and pointless grandstanding is valueless. romney has shown, time and again, that he's an asshole; ignoring his history purely because he called trump out on his bullshit from his bulletproof senate seat means nothing.

He voted in the impeachment, and in politics calling the president of your party corrupt is not meaningless or cheap, it signals to others in the party it is safe to be honest, and once the discussion has shifted the actions can shift too.

oh yes, voting against his leader when it was blatantly obvious that trump had no fucking chance of losing was so courageous...

all that was, was him building his "maverick" brand.

want proof? here

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/mitt-romney/

he happily supports the VAST majority of the dumb shit trump wants to do. his voting record reflects it.

I'm sure every other Republican senator was waiting to hear what Romney had to say before they continue to back Trump and support most of his policy positions. Romney deserves no credit for doing the bare minimum, and to think he won't continue to support the same neocon policies once Trump is out of office is foolish.
